    Default Greetings from Ontario Canada - Keego

    Well even though this is my 3rd post, i guess i will still attempt an introduction. (These are always long for me)

    Hello, my handle is Keego (not my real name). I am a gamer, i am 27 years old and i guess I've always been into photography in some form or another. Couple hundred photos on my phone, almost 400 screenshots (which are essentially photos) on my steam of game scenes and other interesting things i find. Imgur has tons more of my non steam gaming photos, so like i said i guess I've always been into photography.

    Until recently I've never really done much other then see something and want to capture what i see, so i can later view it at a later date. I finally gave the store some money and got my hands on some hardware, a Nikon D3200. I thought ok cool, now i can take better photos of what i can see.

    Boy was i wrong, i tend to see myself as a techy and mechanically inclined individual and i started learning about the exposure triangles. Within 24 hours i was shooting full manual, minimal use of autofocus even. Recently I've been experimenting with going beyond my own visual preception and trying to see the angle i always miss, capture the moment that doesn't last long enough before you blink and it's gone.

    The idea if manipulating time with a still photo, it's very cool and super interesting. If you made it this far and didn't type in a fast response and moved onto the next person, then maybe you say a little something in your response about how you got into photography, and if you have any really great tips you've enjoyed during your adventures. I hope to explore a bit in the future, i do have a 4x4 jeep, so i am hoping to find good shots!

    Well right now i do not have many, and only one really good one. I don't have a nice place to display everything i have and keep the integrity of the image. Sites like facebook and imgur and photobucket degrade the blacks and just distort them so they don't look as pretty anymore. Still working on it though!

    Welcome to the forum, Keego. I too am looking forward to seeing what you do with that new bit of kit. As for hosting sites that don't manipulate too much you might want to try Flickr or Smugmug or a host of others that are targeted at photographers vs targeted at everyone.

    As for me, I got started (yes I read to the end) in a real way back in 1984 when my father passed away and I was given his Canon TX-1 film camera. He was not a photographer really; once in a while he pulled out the camera and took photos but I think he felt more at home with a Polaroid than an SLR. I really enjoyed capturing moments back then but got away from it for a few years due to the cost of developing and being busy with other things in life. I got back into it in the days of digital (2002-ish) and I've been going at it ever since in one way or another.

    Thats a great story thanks for sharing!

    Yeah i will definitely check out the sites you mentioned, i take alot of dark photos (i work during the night) so i am just so unhappy when i upload a photo and the blacks start to grade and look brown :-(
