# About me
Being constantly inspired by the world around me, and it's artistic aspects tends to provide me with a wonderful opportunity to capture every little thing that I discover through that little eyepiece; truly incredible minuscule things that we are surrounded by every day. With a lot of help from my wonderful companion, a Nikon D7000, a whole lot of creativity, and determination, photography has taken hold of my hand, and I don't want to let go.Being thirteen, I only know the real basics of photography. Sometimes not even as much. But I take pride in the ability I have to produce pictures that I think aren't half bad for someone of my age. I don't know if I will go on to pursue this as a career in the future, but I do know that I definitely want to learn to progress in my works, and broaden my knowledge on what it really is that I am doing every time I hear the distinct sound of that shutter clicking.

Just read your id description it makes me remember of when I was young, I'm still very young lol, but from when i started taking photos.
Your photos are very similar to what I used to take too. I always asked for advice always wanted something similar to what i'm about to write soooo..
My advice:
---Try to get a good editing software, I used Iphoto or picasa at the beginning but then I realized they sucked and it was kinda late for changing. I think Lightroom is the way to go, I use it all the time but you have to learn how to organize your photos properly. The key is to learn how to do it right, and do it right from the start. You will amazed with how good your photos can get.
---find out about the rules of thirds and other very useful stuff, such as how to use the manual settings properly. I really don't use them all the time, therefore you can use the S, A and P dials which focus on only one aspect of the camera making the tasks easier.

Depth of field, focal length, aperture, ISO are also very useful things
you will find a lot of information here...

---your camera is just F%$#G AMAZING so take advantage of it's power.
---this is the one advice I was always afraid of following...Shoot raw.
I really didn't understand what was RAW and its benefits but when i forced myself of using it I just couldn't go back.
At first, when I started using it, I went outside took some photos some raw and some jpeg and compared them in the computer . back then I didn't noticed the difference and it was freaked out by the files size.
it is when you start to edit them that you will see the difference.
here there is a video to explain it properly

Another big thing to do is to try to focus in only one subject at a time, I used to love taking photos of water, so I took a LOT of photos of water.
This will help you to improve your photos and take much better photos of the same subject.
Really sorry for my English, it sucks lol
I thing you are going though the right path you are taking amazing photos.
good luck
