Howdy from Austin, and a GIRL! --THE EPIC THREAD

[84NETgal]

I feel like I'm the only girl in this forum. I'm sure I'm not, but it sure feels like it! I have been around this forum for a while now, I just realized that I hadn't properly introduced myself.

My name's Kristina Medhus, and I'm a student at the University of Texas (senior) studying psychology and pre-med. I love Austin, and I love Texas, no matter how hot it is! I'm also Norwegian, though born & raised in TX. My hometown is Houston, so you may see me on that portion of the forum too.

My photoblog is 84.net and I have had that up since 2003. Hundreds of photos later, I've upgraded cameras several times, gone pro, turned into a photoshop junkie, and love water shots just as much as back in the day when I posted my 3rd photo ever on Pixelprints, which happened to be voted a Photo Friday Best of 2003 pick, I'm proud to say. :)



Apologize for the large format, that's how I post in my photoblog. :oops:

Welcome. Great stuff. I like the water drop series on your web site.

You really need to get in front of the lens too!

Juancho, she's down your way. :D

:D Welcome Kristina! :D
And there are a lot of other Chicks :) here so you don't have to feel alone in that regard. If fact, they are probably the superior force here!!! Aye Guys?

Well that's great! of course after I wrote that intro post, I searched the forum some more and of course saw lots of great posts by women. Awesome!!

Hahaha, it's okay don't be jealous :)

Alright the settings for this were:
Shutter speed: 1/320
exposure bias: none
f4
flash: none
auto white balance

Like i said, this was at the beginning of the website, so a lot of it was auto. :) 2 years later, I rarely use auto anymore of course, but it's nice to know that you can get some decent shots with it.
