Stamps

I may be a photographer at heart but it's always fun trying out new things, especially something community based such as the ol' dA stamps. :)

Update

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 19, 2009, 10:54 AM

News

It’s been over a month since my last update so I thought I’d write a quick entry to let you know what’s going on.

The photography course is coming along nicely, so that’s all good. I submitted another assignment a few weeks ago and was rewarded with another 90%, which came as a surprise seeing as I didn’t feel all that confident about it. The best thing though is that the course does seem to be finally getting more interesting. The next assignment is even purely image based. Who’da thunk it? Speaking of which, I’m actually going to head out in a sec to get some landscapes of the local area. It’s a beautiful evening here so hopefully I’ll get some good stuff. :)

In other news, the internet connection here is still not working properly so once again I haven’t been bery active online recently. To be honest I should stop talking about this really as it’s not news anymore, it’s just normality, and I’m sure everyone is sick of it.

I do have quite a few pictures to show though, some old, some new(er). Most of the old pictures from Denmark are basically done now (I think there are only 2 or 3 left to post) so once those are posted I can move onto some more interesting and (hopefully) better images. With any luck it will breathe some new life into the gallery, which I’m starting to become less happy with the more I look at it. I think a major scrapping session will be called for soon. :plotting:

Anyway, I’d better get going or I’ll miss the good light.

See you around, guys! Hope you are all enjoying the summer! :dance:

Building Awareness of M.E/CFS


I'm trying to raise awareness about M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). It is an illness that goes almost unnoticed by most governments and needs to be taken more seriously. I’ve had it for seven years and as I am now on the mend I feel I need to help the less fortunate. For more information please go to [link]. Thank you. :glomp:

P.S Have a look here to learn about my recovery and the treatment that I received: [link]

Hi guys! Welcome to the gallery! :wave:

I’m Tom, a 23 years old Brit for the flat Broadlands of Norfolk, UK. As you can see from my gallery I’m a keen, if rather inexperienced, amateur photographer and have been for the past two years or so. My camera (a Canon EOS 400D) goes with me wherever I go and has been a trusted companion for quite some time. There is still a HUGE amount I still need to learn before I consider myself a true photographer, but that is why I joined dA in the first place, to learn new skills and grow. I’m getting there slowly but surely.

What else can I tell you about myself? Well, I’m studying Geochemistry and Environmental Science at the University of East Anglia, I’m an avid gamer, total ski-nut, closet bookworm, wannabe film aficionado and general lover of the natural world. Quite a mixed bag really but it all comes together somehow. ^^

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again very soon. :iconbunchiesplz:
