16 Year Old Photography Lover Here!

Chaissony · Mar 30, 2013

Hey! I decided to join this forum because I have a need to share my photography, and this seemed like a good place to start. I'd like to say a few things about myself, I guess. I'm 16, and there are very few of my generation who are interested in this hobby, so it's different being relatable to older generations. I bought a Nikon D3100 this Christmas, and am in love with it. I've learned more and more and got the opportunity to go back to Walt Disney World in January, and tested what skills I had there. When I came back, I learned more and more and drifted off to HDR photography. (I'm still not that good at it, but I'm trying to learn). My inspiration came from a guy named Stephen DesRoches, who is a local photographer, and after seeing his works, I immediately dived into research on HDR.
I use Photomatix to merge to HDR and Lightroom for almost all of my post-processing work. If you want to see my works, I am always updating my flickr, which is here: Flickr: ThereisMagicWithin's Photostream
and my most recent shot here: New Beginnings | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
It's not HDR, but I wanted to try some macro. I should also note that I have a beyond-weird obsession with Minnie Mouse (Yes, I'm a guy), and it's a long story.
See ya around!
