Photography

Did you take these photos?
Yes. All the photography on this page is taken by me, and copyrighted to me. I did not steal them from some website or have them in this gallery for simple collection purposes. That goes against deviantart's terms of service.

How long have you been shooting?
I've been doing photography in some way shape or form for as long as I can remember! A lot of my photos as a child, I had a camera in my hand  I started taking photography more seriously in 2007ish. I took a minor break for a few years due to needing to sell my equipment in order to pay for medical bills. But as of 2018, I've been back in action!

What equipment do you use?
At the moment I have a canon t6i, but most the photos in my gallery were taken with a canon 7D, canon rebel t1i or a small point and shoot camera. As for lenses, I use a canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM telephoto lens. Sometimes I will use the 55-250mm IS STM that came with my camera.

Can I use your photos as a reference?
Please write me a comment or send a note regarding this. Usually the answer is yes, so long as it won't be commercially used. If you do end up using it and uploading it somewhere, a link to the original and a comment letting me know it was used is appreciated.   The work contained in my gallery is Copyright ©2006-2019 Kathy Lewandowski (rainylake).

I would like to buy a print!
I am working on updating all my photos to be available as a digital download and prints. If there is one in specific that you would like that is not enabled yet, please let me know. This journal contains the ones that are currently available.

How long have you been part of dA?
Deviant since Oct 25th, 2006. (My first account was ashkamoo) This account was created Jul 27, 2012.

What's that symbol next to your name?
It means I'm a senior member More info about what this actually means here.

Who made your icon?
My current icon was made by UszatyArbuz 

Why did you give me a llama?
Why not? It's just a silly trading item on deviantart, I find them fun and a great way to find new people to watch. Or you may have gotten one because you watched me/faved one of my works etc.

GIVE ME POINTS/PREMIUMS/REQUESTS
Simple answer is no. I do not give out points or premiums to those that come begging for it. Best bet is to enter one of my many contests or go earn them yourself at dAhub. Do not note me about this, do not comment on my profile about it, it will be marked as spam, and I will not be nice about it. It's gotten to a ridiculous point lately! Also, I don't know where people are getting the idea that I do requests? I don't draw (or at least post it publicly) so please take a minute to look at my gallery before asking this question.

Can you feature my contest winners?
I would be more then happy to do so. Please just send me a note and ask.

Can you feature me or my friends?
Sure, if I like the artwork. Please don't beg/harass me for this either.

Can you tell people about my feature, contest or other news?
More then likely I will! Send me a note with your info
