It has been ages.

I have not been here in forever, I feel terrible for that. My inbox is full and I have so many peoples work to look at.

This year has been so eventful I dont even know where to start. My interest for photography went into hibernation and is finally awake and ready to get back to where it was before.

The start of this year I got diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression, because of this I left school to try and recover. Recover was an understatement, as you see, I have transformed. I am beginning to find who I am in this world. For awhile I thought photography was over in my life, but I want to bring it back and get somewhere in life with that.

As I left school, I never got to learn all the skills I was planning to in my photography class. I am now willing to learn, to teach myself even.

I found the light at the end of the tunnel and what a journey it has been. Depression in the end has been a caterpillar turning into a beautiful butterfly. It started out small and then made me hide away for a long time, now that I am free I feel my soul reconnecting with the world, in a better way.

Maybe some of my experiences from this year will show in my photography.

Hi! Your shots are all take with Panasonic fz8?? I'm looking pictures made with this camera because I want to buy it!
It is a good digital camera?? Night shots seem wonderful!
:iconoh-life7:
Hi there! Only my most recent shots are done with the Panasonic FZ8, my others are done with a Fujifilm Finepix A800. I would deffinatly reccomend the Panasonic fz8, it has a great zoom and comes with so many features.
:iconlaluci:
Thanks!! I'm undecided.. :)))

What other cameras have you been looking at? Before i got my camera i read heeeeaps of reviews on different cameras to narrow down my choice and see what was out there! But then again i can be really padantic about getting the right thing haha.

Thanks for adding my photo "Shadows" as a favorite, and for commenting on it! It was beautiful, it really made it hard to leave. Where I live I am surrounded by trees so seeing the sun or moon rise is, well, rare. But on that island it was amazing, and go figure my camera was not working correctly (the one time it's ever done that!) so I was constantly borrowing everyone elses! I got a couple good photos of the sunset though :-)

Using the stump was my idea, I wish I had thought to get in a better position for the photo though, like my friend Aylin. She looks like she's claiming a new continent or something lol, and I'm looking up at her. Oh well, it's candid.

Well seeing the sun rise is so beautiful, im often fonded by pictures of it. Your shot was great, and the outline of the people makes it even better.
I think using things like stumps is a perfect idea, because your using the surroundings around you:D
Candid, it is! :rose:
