Hello from Kentucky!

[Luke_Osborne]

Hello! My name is Luke, I'm a college student from Kentucky. I've been interested in photography since I was a young teen, though now that I'm in college with my major classes out of the way, I've gotten the chance to finally take a B&W photography class, and I love it. As far as I know, I'm the only person in my class who spends 4 hours a day in the darkroom, haha.

I'm always looking for tips and criticism to help me improve. Thanks!

Hey Luke, welcome. I did most of my undergrad at UK and most of my family lives around there.

Enjoy APUG!

Where in Kentucky are you located?

I'm located in Morehead, going to MSU. I've mostly been shooting landscapes and my ex-girlfriend in said landscapes. My portfolio has some of the prints I've made, some are better than others I think, but any thoughts or criticisms are always welcome.

I work for the state and I worked in Morehead 96-99 but transferred back to the west and live near Owensboro now where I grew up. The landscape in the Morehead area is much better than around here---I miss the Cave Run Lake area, but that's about it.

Happy shooting, lots of good info here at APUG.

Is there any specific place where I should post pictures for comments/criticism?

Luke,

If you go to the Gallery page, you will see a sub-menu called "Upload Photos". You can post to the Standard gallery, Critique gallery, Technical gallery, or Experimental. Most people post to the Standard gallery. If you choose to post to the Critique gallery, IMO, you will be better served by way of critique if you are specific about the type of feedback you are looking for. Not all monitors are created equal so your uploads may look different in terms of contrast and tonality to different people and this can ultimately affect the comments recieved.

Thank you very much!

Welcome, Luke. You'll need to subscribe to the site to see and use the galleries, but there is a critique gallery among others.

Welcome, Luke! I was a college student, once upon a time. I hope that you enjoy APUG!
