Hi all, Chris here, from Sydney. I've been into photography as a hobby since the mid 90s, when i was a young kid. I'm currently decorating my new home with various photo sets from over the years - usually 9 framed prints (3 rows of 3). This inspired me to dust off my camera and get back to it! I've been enjoying Serge's tutorials, editing, retouching etc is completely new to me. I love photographing landscapes, scenes that can convey an emotion, black and white, and faces that tell a story. Anyway, here's some photos I took in 2012-2013, travelling across Latin America, I printed some of these the other day. Not edited/retouched, but I will try reworking some of my old images today to practice. Cheers!

Sharing 2 images from tonight's sunset. These colors were already pretty accurate, but I tried using Serge's free presets on them, but they were overpowering since the sky was pretty spot on with using the histogram. I have used what I learned about the top and bottom linear gradients and boosting the shadows for the building. I've used the Lensbaby Sweet 35 lens for these. Honest critique appreciated and any tips on the presets? They weren't as underexposed as he shows in his videos.
