Introducing myself...
Debbie, welcome to UHH. I'm sure that being active on this site will lead to even better photos than you are taking now, if for no other reason than just the incentive to improve.

I ran across this message board while researching information about selling your photographs. I fell in to photography as a side venture of therapy after quitting my job due to a bullying manager. Creating content became my salve to heal my soul. I highly doubt I am good enough to sell my pictures as art, but then again, who knows? and I figured it was worth a try since I am in no way going back to my old career. I am here to learn more about cameras, tips, tricks and just improve my skills to take a great photograph. I am open to criticism only if it is constructive and done in a manner to help grow, not to demean, belittle or put someone down as I have had enough of that to last a life time. Thank you for your input and advice. Looking forward to sharing my pictures and have already seen lots of awesome pictures...you can see samples of my 'art' at debbieegleston.blogspot.com

Thank you all for the welcome. So it is out there. :) I was wondering if anyone ever saw what I posted to my blog(s) as no one ever comments. Leaves you with an always second guessing yourself feeling.
Welcome Debbie, enjoyed looking at your pictures, and also reading some of your blog posts. Hope to see some of your fine work here. Do not second guess yourself just be yourself and that will be fine.

Welcome Debbie, can't wait to see your photos.
Welcome! This group is an interesting one indeed. As a very serious writer (one of my novels is about a couple of bullied staff members at a small college who find a way to use their bully boss to hasten his own demise!!) I'd say please yourself first, and look for your own "voice" (= sight?) if your photography. On the other hand, trying to sell stuff is VERY educational, and if you do it seriously, you'll learn a lot about the art business in general. Good luck!

Welcome to the Hog Debbie.
Welcome. Just be prepared you will have some on here that will say nasty things about your photos. You just have to ignore them and keep posting. There are a lot more nice people that will be more than happy to help. Talk to them and ignore the rest.
