Week 8 - Emily

What is your name?
I'm Emily, but I am known online as Fearful Penguin!

What sort of photography do you do?
Not really sure how to answer this one yet! I am still finding my feet so try a lot of different things. I tend to like shooting from different angles, love geometric patterns and repetition.

I am in the proces of a project 365 this year, trying to take a photo every day. I am hoping this will help me improve my compositional skills and to help me look at things I see everyday in a new way.

How long have you been shooting?
I have been shooting on and off for a few years, but have only recently started developing my skills - I'm definitely a beginner! I got my current camera just over a year ago.

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
My Sony NEX-3 camera - my first decent camera! I only have the standard 18-55mm lens at the moment, though I hope to get another soon.

Where can we find you? Twitter account/s, blogs, galleries, any and all web presence that you feel comfortable sharing.
I'm at @fearfulpenguin on twitter, and Fearful Penguin on Flickr.
I also run @snapadays on twitter and The Snapadays on Flickr - my Project 365 group!

Where do you live and work? You can be as specific as providing your lat-long coordinates, or as vague as "planet earth".
I'm based in the beautiful county of Yorkshire, UK.

Week 5 - Vlado Kekoc

What is your name?
Vlado Kekoc

What sort of photography do you do?
I'd class myself as a motivated, enthusiast that occasionally makes money from my hobby.  I've been an active member of dpchallenge.com for 7 years, where I regularly enter photography challenges, so shoot whatever theme is on offer.  If pressed, I'd say I'd have a preference for shooting landscapes and cityscapes, but my kids also feature heavily in my photography.

How long have you been shooting?
A LONG time... 20+ years, I guess.  Used my parents Fujica Auto-5 as a teenager; got my own 35mm point-a-shoot as a 21st birthday present and bought my first SLR (Canon EOS 500) a year later.  Moved to digital about 7 years ago when I bought my Canon EOS 40D.

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, any thing you really love to work with )
I'm loving my wireless triggers etc, and my green screen BUT would have to say, if I had to pick ONE thing, it'd be my Manfrotto 141RC tripod.  It was the first accessory I bought, has been all over the world with me and it shows the scars of many treks down rainforest streams, family holidays to the tropics, and trips into town for some night-time cityscapes.

Where can we find you? Twitter account/s, blogs, galleries, any and all web presence that you feel comfortable sharing.
My website/blog is at kekoc.com and on twitter I'm @kekoc.  Everything else can be found from there, I guess.

Where do you live and work? You can be as specific as providing your lat-long coordinates, or as vague as "planet earth".
Melbourne, Australia; World's Most Liveable City, and one of the most photogenic.

Is there a Twitter account you would really like to see take over @WeRPhotography for a week?
I'd love to see fellow Melbournian DPCer, @enzomaisano (aka hotpasta on dpchallenge.com) or US based DPCer @BSpurgeon at the helm of it for a week.  They are two of my favourite photographers around (that have twitter accounts that I know of).
