Start thinking end the year with a contest

First of all: I didn't forget about making a picture explaining Nerd Series lightning and post-processing, but I have lots of exams now and I don't have many time.
Tomorrow I finish the exams (till 21th dec, when I have another one) so maybe next week I have some time to make it.
I'll let you know.

I also want to tell you that I'm going to be the judge of a contest organized by Dragonant.
I'll post a journal with the contest rules when everything is ready.

And finally...MY SUBSCRIPTION IS GOING TO EXPIRE!
And now I have no job so I shouldn't spend money on it...

UPDATE(someone have bought me a subscription for 3 months, but I cannot see who
have done it...But too much thank you! ) (Did you do: DogmaticKerr?)

PS. Sorry for not updating some portraits ina while, but like I've said I don't have many time right now...

I just want to say thank you everybody for your support!
In the last month I have a lots of views,which drives me to want to continue taking pictures and learn a little more each day
It's a shame to have so many tests now, but hopefully I can go out and take pictures when they finish.

And also wanted to tell you that today is my birthday!
I'm getting older, I'm 22 now! :S
Some kind soul wants to give me a subscription as a birthday gift? (mine is going to end soon ...)

And that's it for today!
