A Year Is Round

This Gallery is a Thank You to my friend Annie who gave me the courage and confidence to begin taking photos last September when I bought my Minolta Dimage Z3 Point & Shoot ~ but was overwhelmed by all it's settings ! She showed me how to take my first macro shot with it ~ and I was absolutely transfixed ! I soon wanted more control over my shots and bought a Panasonic Lumix FZ30 and began to use full man, or - that should really be - woman-ual control ! I was actually secretly hankering after a full Digital SLR by now, but everyone, myself included, was concerned about the very real possibility of dropping lenses whilst changing them in my wheelchair ! Annie has encouraged and supported me every inch along the way eversince and has taught me so much of how to "play" with my shots afterwards in Photoshop. Now I HAVE bought my first Digital SLR and have LENSES . . . !

Annie keeps saying that I should have a pbase Gallery, but I haven't ever felt "Ready". As a surprise Year On Thank You to her for a year of phantastic phriendship and so much laughter and phun - oh- and just a phew photos taken toooooo - I have Taken The Plunge as a way of saying ~ Thank You Annie ~ so here is my Gallery of a menagerie of shots from over this last year . . .

I really like your compositions. They have such a calm balance. I think I'll watch these slide shows again :-)

Excellent gallery of subjects, colors, forms! V

You have a good eye for compositions. I like that all your images are clean and free from distractions. With your macros, I really like the fly on the wall!

It's great to have someone to encourage you along the way in photography. Nice that you dedicated this gallery to the person that helps you. :)

Great gallery Jane, What a variety and what a talent! Glad I was with you for some of the time you're camera was clicking, It was great to see you so creative once again. Keep it up. Well done Annie for all her encouragement!Love you Jenni

What a fabulous surprise - you haven't needed that much encouragement - in fact holding you back has been the problem - now, the only way is up!!

Congratulations on your first gallery - it's wonderful - I'm so proud of you.
