INTRODUCTION - Hello from Ontario, Canada

in introducemyself •  8 years ago  (edited)


My name is Deborah. I chose @countrygirl for my Steemit blog name for anonymity purposes and to sum up who I am. 

I am not a writer or wordsmith or a storyteller–I can't sing either. Well, I suppose I "could" sing if I wanted to but I don't have that kind of voice either. My voice comes through the lens of a camera. Something will catch my eye, I'll look through the viewfinder, frame it, play with a setting or two, press a button and then my kind camera magically makes it look good and I take the credit.

My camera is a Nikon D3100 and I am fortunate to own two lenses–my lens of choice is the zoom. Christmas is coming and a wide angle lens is on my "want" list (are you listening sir?)  I am also trying to figure out, still, how to use my wireless remote that I was given for Christmas last year.  A little procrastination in this country girl maybe. Likely.

I have many interests and hobbies that I will share eventually but my main purpose is to share my photos and hopefully hone my skills and learn from other photographers. I welcome  helpful comments or criticisms of my pictures (I am still a newbie).

The above is a recent photo of a happy faced sun flower–it's hard to stay in a mood when you see one of these friendly giants, isn't it? I captured this photo during our recent annual apple picking day at the end of September.

beautiful pic. I love the interplay of light and shadow and the contrast between the sunburst and the pure blue sky

Thanks for stopping by to look at my introduction and photo. There is something pretty amazing with colour contrast.

Hi @countrygirl! We may actually be from the same area, as I'm also from Ontario and love sunflowers (which, of course, must only exist in some small town in Ontario for my coincidental fantasy to be true). Narrow-mindedness aside, welcome to Steemit! I am new as well so this was a nice way for me to read up on the introductions of other new users. All the best!

I look forward to reading your intro soon....and then we'll see if we are from the same area :) All the best to you too!

I am from the Oshawa area, east of Toronto (:

Ahhh sunflowers! I love em! Welcome to Steemit. Its great fun and I hope you enjoy it here!!
