Hi, my name is Mary, I am Jenn's (akashastrega) mom. I have only begun taking pictures, and have quite a few from trips I took over the past 2-3 years. My initial photo's were taking using a Sony Mavica, but when it died I bought a little cybershot. Some of the images I'll be uploading may have time-stamps, as they were taken before I figured out how to adjust the camera settings. I really don't know anything about photography. Basically I point, shoot, and hope for the best. My photo's that I have taken of animals are generally much better than the rest of my photo's. Can you guys give me ideas of where to "surf" to to learn terminology, technical settings, etc? I welcome any input you can offer me to help me take better pictures...especially landscape. I like to take at least one "big" trip a year, and would love to be able to take great images from my travels.
Woohoo...that's my mama!!
Hi mom, and welcome to Caedes. I'm sure that many of the talented artists here will be more than happy to give you tips...and this is where I go...ahem...Sam, Terri (if you ever come back), etc...
Guys, she posted one of my fave shots, as her first entry...of a gorgeous eagle...she took it while on vacation to Alaska...check it out...and show my mama some love or I'll be forced to torture y'all again with my singing.

As a newbie to this site, I would like to thank all of you for your kind welcome and apologize to anyone that sent me a PM and being a bonehead, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree Jenn, I pushed a wrong button and deleted instead of answered. A lesson well learned and won't repeat, I promise.
a warm welcome to Caedes Mary and I hope that you will have a lot of fun not only with uploading pictures but also here on these crazy treads....lol....
