As I have come across this one year subscription, naturally I decided I had to do a fancy journal entry. I'm not a fan of talking about myself, so here is a feature of some of the wonderful works of my DA friends.

An amazing Canberran photographer. Popular subjects are birds and the natural environment. Frankly, I'm extremely jealous of his skills!

With the eye of an architect behind the camera, you'll find some mind-bending photos in his gallery. Check out the effects of his ever-popular shrink ray on London.

One of my very first watchers, from way back! I was originally impressed with his renders, but am now interested to watch as he puts his creative talents to photography.

Middle row: "Moonlit Bay Islands dual" by ~Midolluin

Surely my most attentive watcher, always ready with encouraging words and unique insights. He is a skilful photomanipulator and compositor, merging real life and renders seamlessly. Favourite subjects are mermaids and female portraits.

In this photographer's gallery you'll find some absolutely breathtaking lightning shots, as well as gritty warehouses and moody monochromes.

An enthusiastic community member and relative newcomer to DA, but already with a legion of fans, and for good reason. Her gallery is as refreshing as it is colourful and beautiful. And she's so fun to chat to.
