I just wanted to say thank you to all the people that support me here on DeviantArt. When i created my profil about 10 month ago i never thought that so many people would like my work. This really encourages me to take even more photos. I love to hold contests, feature people and browse through amazing pieces of art, there are so many great things to do.
In this 10 month i got my first DD and even earned money with my photography. For me all that is just so...unbelieveable :wow:

I noticed that a lot of people don't know how to search for their photos on the internet, so here is a short tutorial. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about art thieves, but i still think it is important to look out for them.

1. visit Google.com

2. Go to the page of the photo you want to search and click "show image"

3. Copy the Link and paste it into google.

4. This page should open, click "search by image".

5. Now you can browse trough the results.

6. The less results the happier you should be.

EDIT : You can also use websites like : tineye.com and iqdb.com ]]> http://kara-a.deviantart.com/journal/Goodbye-2012-Big-Feature-345833335 http://kara-a.deviantart.com/journal/Goodbye-2012-Big-Feature-345833335 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 06:00:05 PST Goodbye 2012 - Big Feature nonadult journals/culture/features Kara-a http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/k/a/kara-a.jpg?3 Copyright 2012-2013 =Kara-a For me it was a pretty normal year, neither really good nor really bad. But in regard to Photography it was a great year for me.
I got my first DSLR Camera and i even earned some money with my photos. I love taking photos and i hope that this will stay the same next year.
Within this year i got over 1800 watchers and that really means a lot to me. Thank you so much ! ♥

For now i have some amazing photos from 2012 for you, i am sorry that the Feature got so long, but there where so many amazing photos that i just couldn't stop.

I hope that all of you will have an amazing year 2013 !

You really don't know how much your support means to me. I am a person that feels insecure easily and i am unsure of a lot of things, including my photos. I love taking photos but i never expected so many people to like them. Don't get me wrong, i don't take photos for others but for myself.

I am sorry for being a little bit inactive at the moment, i know that it takes me a lot of time to answer your comments, especially during the week.
But i am in the 12th grade now, that means that ( almost ) all of my marks will count for my Abitur ( i don't know how it is called in english, i guess it is something similar to graduation from high school ) so i am not allowed to slack off and furthermore i am taking theoretical lessons for my driving license at the moment :aww: So i can't take as much photos as i would like to.
