Hello! I am currently fundrasing to help me purchase new photography gear so I can further my future in photography and create amazing photos. If you could spare a few dollars it would mean a lot and help a lot! Here it is if you are willing to donate to help me! http://goo.gl/JVwI0R If you can't donate or don't want to if you have some spare time check out some of my work at: http://goo.gl/u8IB3d

I really apreciate any support I get with this. I am hoping this type of post is allowed as it is similar to a kickstarter but I am not sure if this will count as advertising! If this bumps any issues with the fourms rules im sorry!

Not sure if this is overstepping bounds but it feels so. My advice is to link it in your sig. I know how you feel though; my hdds are littered with incomplete things that I need funding for as I'm broke atm (didn't even have Christmas). But, yeah, afraid this may be locked. Still I wish you the best of luck.

As far as I am concerned donation threads are permit-able however it will be for the mods as a group to decide, best thing to do is put a link in your signature as suggested.

You've got some nice photos in there.

I would say that in some images, a little attention to detail and backgrounds will turn good photos into great photos. For example...

The guitarist has a blurry woman with half a head in the window reflection. Waiting 10 more seconds would have removed her

The child at the bench would be better without a pram behind him

The eye would be so much nicer without the mucky mascara

The guy who looks native american would look brilliant in black & white with high contrast, he has some real life in his face.

The water droplets frozen in time are fantastic

The one entitled "Capitol" would look great with the curve tightened up to accentuate lights and darks.

Good luck with your project

Thank you everyone. I will start working on a signature right now . Also thank you for your kind words BatVink. I am still an amature and working to get better. Also those were my first try at street photography so I was extremely nervous about peoples reactions. I promise much better photos next time I hit the city streets I really appreciate everyones support!

That's why I don't take many people pictures You have to be brave with strangers reactions, and I'm not. I stick to animals, landscapes and abstract images, like this...

Thats a nice picture!I agree peoples reactions are completly unkown and you will get positive and negative. But it challanges me so I like doing it.

I hope to god you're never attacked by carnivorous frogs while you're busy setting up the shot.
