Hi! I'm Jake Levin, a Ph.D. student in Spanish currently living in the land of poutine and ice cider known as Montreal, Quebec! I've loved photography and birds all my life, but I only got some serious gear a few years ago and started going on Artie's IPTs to Florida and California. I'm hoping you will all be merciless yet friendly critics; without good critiques, I can't improve! Generally, I try to judge my own images on the following three criteria:
1: is it sharp?
2: really, is it sharp?
3: composition. Just kidding, triple check to make sure it's sharp.
I'm trying to improve most on exposure and image design, since the IS lenses and a good tripod do a lot of the sharpness work for you these days. I also really need to up my photoshop skills, especially in terms of skills like quick masking to remove undesirables (bands, beach flotsam, etc.). Looking forward to working with you all!
Ciao,
Jake Levin
PS. Can someone please tell me how to make a profile picture?
