Hi. 

After several years of lurking and admiring the artwork in many categories here, I have decided to 'up my game' on DeviantArt.

I recently did a primitive study on the worth of using FacileBook for posting my 'better' photos, and found that shots on which I had worked for hours were getting less than half of the 'likes' than the family snapshot type photos that were uploaded virtually straight from the camera...

So that medium is now only being used for the family snapshots, and I hope to post the more 'inspirational' (for me at least) shots to this forum, hopefully for your constructive criticism and feedback. This is purely a hobby for me - I am not looking to sell anything to anybody.

Please forgive me while I learn the ropes with favs 'watches and badges. Thank you to those who have already given/responded. I will try to answer in kind.

Cheers,

favs are a fickle game.  sex sells best, then children doing what kids do.  unusual, another name for strange, has a good chance, while the beautiful scenic image has to be incredible to make it. part of the problem is some categories are so full, your work will get lost and never have a chance to be seen.  this has nothing to do with how great it is.  don't expect the categories to make sense of what is posted within.

darkroom, as in film, is a difficult medium to master but the older images also bring back history of an earlier time, which I feel has an extra bonus.
