This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
I am an obsessive general photographer though I haven't yet photographed a General.
I started taking photographs when I was fifteen years old. I more or less stopped taking photographs when I was in my mid twenties, when music took over as my main interest.
In 2008 I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D40x and photography has taken over my world once more.
I quickly out grew the D40x and after about six months shooting with it I bought the D300 which I love to bits.
I love everything about photography except of course the cost of equipment.
In most of my images I try to describe how the location made me feel when I was there, to express and prompt an emotional response rather than merely describe a place or a moment.
Whether or not I succeed in achieving this is for you to decide. My world through my eyes coloured by my life experiences.
I hope you find something of interest among my many and varied images.
My Photography Equipment:
Nikon D300
Sigma 10-20mm Great for landscape/waterscape work. Opens up many creative opportunities due to the perspective distortion that it creates.
Sigma 18-200mm An excellent all rounder. Good for most landscape/waterscape situations, portrait, nature and great for street work.
Sigma 70-300mm Good for portrait, wildlife, sport and close up work.
Nikkor f1.8 50mm This is a great way to force yourself to really think about what you are doing, fixed focal length. Makes you move about a lot more than working with a zoom and concentrate on composition. I sometimes go out with just this lens.
Sigma f2.8 28mm filtermatic. Same applies as with the Nikkor above.
Tamron SP-90 AF f2.8 1:1 Macro. Ideal for extreme close up work and perfect for portraiture. This is a very sharp lens indeed.
Manfrotto tripod with ball head. Essential for landscape/waterscape, low light, HDR shots and when massive depth of field is needed (very small aperture)
Benbo Trekker tripod with Kennet ball head for close up and macro work outdoors.
Cokin circular polarisor Cokin ND grads 2, 4, and 8 Cokin ND 8 ND100 10 stop These filters are always with me, they are the basic aids to controlling contrast and exposure duration, especially in landscape/waterscape.
Adobe Lightroom Photoshop CS3 Photomatix
