My First DD

2 min read
Hello Everyone,

It's been some time since I've posted a journal entry, but haven't really had anything noteworthy to post, until now. As the title suggests, I just received my very first Daily Deviation :dance:

Lost in Reflection made it to the DD list this morning, and needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Have a look for yourself, and feel free to comment on the photo if you have not already :) Although, I might not be able to respond, this darned spam filters have just flagged me :angered: I guess that's what happens when you try to thank 300+ people for adding your photo to their favs :rofl:

Some other notes, just received a nice new Tenba backpack!! Also added a few remote flash triggers, new tripod head (pan,tilt), and a reflector. Hoping to start getting into portraiture soon. And one last note, I will be purchasing the Canon 7D next week if everything works out properly. Can't wait for that :dance:

I hope you all had wonderful Christmas' and and fun New Year. Happy Holidays Everyone!

Lost in Time

1 min read
Well it has been months since I've been on dA. Only recently have I started revisiting. Got REALLY busy over the summer and hadn't had time to go out and shoot really. Still don't have much time, but I'm forcing myself to make time : ) Hopefully I will be able to continueally upload photos in the coming months, I do have a good few waiting in queue for processing at the moment and will be uploading those in the days to come!

Just recently upgraded my kit with a 100mm f/2.8 macro and a 28mm f/2.8. I also got a 50mm f/1.8 since it was so cheap. :) I've now got a pretty solid kit that I can be quite proud of :)

Hello Everyone...It's been quite some time since I've visited dA. I've begun college at Purdue North Central (small campus branch of Purdue, cheaper with the same result) so needless to say I'm quite busy working full time and attending night classes full time. I've been enjoying every moment of it so far :D A bit exhausting, but still love it. Photography has been put on a bit of a hold, as I don't quite have the time around to shoot :( But I'm thinking I'll begin shooting once again soon, just to help cope with the stresses of life :) Just shooting out a quick update and letting everyone know I'm just fine :) Hope everyone else is enjoying life too!! I apologise for not responding to favs or journals, but there just isn't enough hours in a day to get around to everything. And 250 deviations is quite intimidating...but I'm sure I'll make it through it all eventually :)

I'm also enjoying the nice, new interface here on dA :dance:

Until the next update, hope everyone has a good evening,

Gavin

Thanks again to all who view my profile and photos, it's much appreciated :D

Hello Everyone!

Just a quick update on the happenings around here.

First off schools out for the summer!!! And I graduate from high school this Sunday!!! I'm super excited. Yesterday was my last day of school!!! It's been a pretty good high school career but I think I'm ready to move on. I'm ready for college for sure. I'll be attending Purdue North Central, which is basically a cheaper local branch of Purdue University. I'll working for an Associates degree in Electronics there. That should take 2 years to complete, and after that I'll be traveling up to Chicago to attend Columbia College for Photography and probably some sort of graphic design and/or advertising.

I've been pretty busy as of late. End of the year stuff and work. I really haven't had a whole lot of time for photography. But hopefully this summer will provide me some opportunities. I start full time at work on Monday and my one year reviews is next week, pretty excited about that. raise :D

Hope everyone's summer has been going good so far!

Gavin
