hello from the low lands
« on: July 13, 2015, 22:04:21 »
Hi everyone, my name is Suse and I am from The Hague, Netherlands. I am a beginner at photography, I own a Nikon D5300. I look forward to learning a lot from all the great photographers here on this site. Hopefully I'll work up the courage to post some pictures of my own.  ;)

Hello Susanne, do not worry. Photography is like chess: The rules are easy but you have to practice a lot to make a difference.

When I do teaching I start with this question: Where does the light come from?

If you start to see the light you start to capture photons and engrave them.

That this can be an important question I learned in a photography class I took not so long ago. We practised with different objects and different light sources. In my case, I made it easy: from the left!  :D

Hi Suse, good to see you here on NG.

In the past we've seen a lot of images of you in front of the camera, curious to see what happens with you on the other side of the camera :)

I got introduced to the old nikongear forum a while back, and then followed fotozones a little (but never was a member). I really like the atmosphere here and I'm impressed by the levels of experience and skill here. Still am a bit intimidated though, wish there were a few more photography newbies like me. ;)

True! :D I hope I learned a thing or two from the guy who posted pictures of me.  :)

Zuze is a bit shy for no reason.
Whether in front of behind the camera, a joy to watch.
