User Removal

March 24th, 2012

Hi

Every evening I remove several users that I suspect may not be legit or spammer in some way-have removed 18 out of 20 new users in past 3 days.  Some legit people may be removed by mistake.  Request new members to send a mail basically saying anything: hi, where from, whatever-just let me know it is a person that can take the time to type a few letters in English rather than a machine.  Will change this as soon as I come up with a better method.

Thanks

Hi

Due to time and eventually forgetting about it my last entry was aprx 6 months ago.
Recently joined The Jacksonville Photography Meetup
group http://www.jaxphotogroup.com/ and
really enjoy it.  Great group of friendly people willing to
share their knowledge.  Highly recommend this group to anyone
interested in photography and wishing to increase their knowledge and
skill.  Any level from beginner to pro and any camera welcome.
Comments are welcome.  Happy to help anyone and happy to receive
help and tips.  I really enjoy admiring other photographers
work-especially those that show patience and planning, expertise in
lighting, and the ability to take an everyday scene and transform it
into a work of art.  In most cases I have no problem placing a
link to your gallery if you wish to share your work for a few others
to enjoy.  Now, if you take pet portraits one block from where I
do at a lower price we may have a minor problem-lol

 

Friendship Park Pics

August 28th, 2011

As mentioned I went to Friendship Park with Jax Smug and found it very informative.  The presenter was explaining bracketing and HDR and gave a little demonstration,  posting 5 pics I took that evening.  they have less than 10 minutes post processing and still need work in noise, cropping, etc  I will not bother with working these since they were shot handheld-but rather will go back with a tripod and take my time to get some good shots.  Wishing to show these anyway as I feel for a first time with handheld they came out better than I expected.  Will try to make all of jax smug meet ups in the futher.

Website work

August 26th, 2011

Hi

Haven’t posted lately as been busy making a website.  Now on my 4th one.  So far zenfolio looks like it will fulfill most of my needs.  I did take a nite off last week and went to a jaxsmug gathering at Friendship Park and found it very informing and joined.   Seems to be an informative photography group.  Will start posting soon.
