Black & White Beauty: Photography

[Mausiiiable]

i´m so gonna buy this camera, that were the best 1:04 min of my life thank you sooo much !!

[rainyrose23]

@Mausiiiable haha thanks and you're welcome! but honestly it doesn't matter what kind of camera you have, if you're a good photographer they will all look great even if you just use a simple point and shoot. The camera doesn't make the photographer.

[princessk8er123]

Aw =] Thank you...hey, didn't you...like months ago ask to draw a picture of my horse Dotty? I think it was you...? I don't know haha =P

[rainyrose23]

yeah it was! it was a really pretty photo and it would make a great drawing! if you still approve I'll do it once I find the time :)

[princessk8er123]

Ok, yeah I was just making sure it was you lol I would LOVE to see a drawing of that photo from you =] haha

[skyandkit]

WOW ,

How can i purchase them?

What are the sizes/prices?

What material are they printed on to?

Are you in the US?

I do really like theese & am searously intrested in them!

[rainyrose23]

Thank you for being interested! I'll send you a message with more details. :)

[3rdStreetStudio]

you have a fantastic eye for textures and details. I look forward to seeing more of your artistic photography.

[rainyrose23]

thanks so much! I try to incorporate some of the things I learn in my drawing class into my photography to make them better. :)

[FreckleWitch]

Psh. Your talent annoys me! These are all enitrely gorgeous, as usual. Hmph. My art class is good and bad (to go off topic). The art is fantastic! But my teacher is so controlling and if she thinks something "doesn't work", she WON'T let you do it! Hasn't she ever heard of artistic license?

[rainyrose23]

wow that's annoying! You can't really become a stand out artist if your teacher doesn't let you experiment and find what media etc. you're best at. Art is all about individuality and your own personal unique style. I think you should give her a slap in the face (haha jk don't really do that!).

And thanks! haha

[8thwonderPony]

wow, how do you get your photos so crisp and clear? I use a canon rebel XS which is pretty much equivalent to a nikon D60.. and I have a bit of trouble with that. What type of lens do you use?

Amazing pictures :D

[rainyrose23]

Thank you!! I have a 70-300 mm lens and it makes a HUGE difference, I highly recommend getting one. I got it for my birthday last year. :)

I also don't really edit my photos besides the black and white. I like to keep them natural most of the time. :)

[8thwonderPony]

Yeah, mine is 75-300mm as well. I think i might of hit my camera or dropped it or something.. a lot of my pictures won't focus and i have a lot of trouble getting them clear =/ I'm going to need to send it in to get fixed.

[rainyrose23]

aw I'm sorry. Hopefully you'll be able to fix it!

Have you ever tried the auto focus, when you hold down the button halfway and the camera focuses itself? I tend to do that a lot too.

[8thwonderPony]

yeah, mine is always on AF.

I really don't know what's wrong with it. It can't focus in cloudy weather at all, but last winter I was able to take pictures during the indoor winter show circuit. It's really weird.

[Palominto]

All of these are gorgeous!

You're an amazing photographer. :)

[rainyrose23]

Thank you! :)

[GutsyPonyRider]

Thease pictures are so beutiful! I LOVE black and white shots. Good job :)

[rainyrose23]

[ninihudini]

Love the photos as always! Is this music from Horse Whisperer? Do you have your own photo shop, if you don't, have you ever though about doing one? I'm sure you would get tons of business!

[horseridingbuckaroo]

[rainyrose23]

[BackstretchRunner]

[rainyrose23]

Aw thank you so much! I don't think my art has ever received a toe up before!!! It makes it all the more special! bahahaha
