Hello from Ontario, Canada

[Kathleen Mitchell]

Salutations to all. New here so I thought introductions to be a good place to start. I live in Ontario, Canada & have lived on the West & East Coast of Canada. The East Coast, namely Newfoundland being my favorite. I am a published writer on a sabbatical you might say because I've found a new creative outlet - photography. My true passion for photography lies within nature/landscape. I've only been using slr cameras now for 4-5 yrs. Although I dabbled over the years with a 35mm it is only now that I've decided to take it seriously. So I'm a beginner, a newbie with a great deal to learn. I am moving in the direction of wedding photography. I have done three weddings so far (no pay). The clients are always aware of my experience; I learned a lot at these weddings & had a great deal of fun. I also now have a new insight into what true exhaustion is. lol Hoping to one day see a little return for my work. My favorite editing software is Photoshop & Canon slr's are my camera of choice. Glad to be here.

Welcome to OPF, Kathleen!

Newfoundland has some beautiful landscape. I imagine the coast line should be every dramatic right now. do the still have dog sleds in the winter? I have a romantic idea of Newfoundland as a place at the frontier, but I guess there mist be little left near the cities. Still, with your writing skill and camera, I see a book in the offing!

Good luck on wedding photography. Try to get an assistant to at least cover the reception and help carry some of the gear. Weddings are exhausting.
