I am a novice photographer and editor. In creating a deviant, I hope to be able to display my work for criticism and get better at the things that I love to do. I'm pretty good at getting the right lighting, angle, material, etc. on the camera (but I'd still love to hear more ideas - I've still got a lot to learn about picture taking); what I'm really lacking in is editing. I know my "increasing the contrast and saturation" trick isn't going to get me far, and I've been attempting to do more complex edits - using sketch tools to draw in specific effects like boosting, b&w, sepia, soften, etc. - but I'd love to learn all the cool tricks I can do in editing with pictures - whether on picnik, picasa, aperture ,or photoshop.
