Description

My very first photo taken with my "real" camera - not a simple 35mm or throw away, but an old Nikon EM - more of a professional's camera. Or at least it was back in its day. A friend of mine recommended it as the perfect camera to learn on and I love it. I did do some tinkering with the image - just a little sharpening. The image started life as a color photo, but once I scanned it in I noticed a green cast that isn't there in the original. So I worked a little magic to make it look old. All constructive criticism is welcome. I'm trying to learn so bring it on! BIG, BIG thanks to Niutek for encouraging me to post my photography. I appreciate your encouragement and enthusiam!

very neat place!... the tone gives it that great old look, wonderfully presented... seems to have some pixelating going on it, may be from overcompression or oversharpening... welcome to the photo gallery!! :]
