I have been practicing and learning Photography for well over the last ten years. Our first SLR was a Canon Rebel EOS Elan. We currently have two Digital Cameras, both canons a Rebel Xsi and a EOS 5Dmkii along with several interchangeable lens. I have the greatest admiration for those who consistently photograph great pictures and try to learn their tricks of the trade. I am forever striving to be better and to figure out where I fall short. I have learned a lot while a member of FAR and still continue to learn. I do my best to help others when I can and learn from those that I can. I appreciate honest straightforward reviews from those who are geniuniely striving to help. I dislike attacking and negative reviews from those who feel they must find fault whether it exists or not. I try to review in the same manner as I like to receive, always apologizing if I fear I am being overly critical.
I have been created Mixed Media in Photography for about four years. Other sites call it Digital Art, but I like that FAR separates it from Digital Art which is truly an art form on its own. Mixed Media in Photography should always start with a quality photograp. It is not Art if it is used to disguise a poor one. Again I have learned a great deal from other Mixed Media Photographers on FAR and am always willing to help those who wish to learn in turn.
My husband and I are both reired, he spend his time doing woodworking and I enjoy finishing his fine wood projects, making abalone arts and craft, cooking and mostly Photography.

Artist Notes
While painting (nothing creative, just an Arbor in the garden) I stepped off the ladder a couple of steps too soon and sprained my ankle. So coinfined to my chair, what better way to spend it than playing with flowers. I pulled up this photograph of a Wild Iris that I found hidden in the woods last winter while hunting for Mushrooms. From there I began creating Wild Iris Fantasy. For you purists, yes this is a pretty photograph of the Iris. We have it framed and hanging in one of the bathrooms and have sold it as a note card. But for those who say "it's just another picture of a Flower" no it isn't. This little gem has been cropped, filtered, colorized, touched up, faded and layered seven times to create a Fantasy just for you to view. It's a lot of work trying to please everyone on FAR. I sure hope you enjoy my efforts.
Cropped, layers, colorized, faded, filtered.
