Hello from Panama

Hello everyone, I´m happy to join this community and look forward to learn from your experiences as well as share mines with you.

Photography has been a tradition in my family and I was fortunate to have an older brother who got me started on this when I was on my teens. Many years later, while living in NYC, I got hooked with street photography, and became more serious about photography in general. Then came food photography, a fascinating subject that have taken me to modest incursions into commercial photography. I also enjoy photographing people, at least the few times I get a chance to do it.

My gear: 5D, 17-40L, Sigma 50mm 2.8, TS-E 90, Sigma 70-300 APO DG, some basic studio lighting and equipment.


Cheers, see you at the forums!

Hello Ruben,

You are so welcome here! Start by sharing some of those street photos up to 4 related images per post. The better they are, the more striking they will each look each centered with your name and a title underneath, as in a fine gallery. The idea is we want to share the best photography experience we can muster and summon feedback. We're not looking for any masterpiece, just pictures to enjoy and hopefully discuss too. That's the life blood here. After that, any fun you like!

Asher
