Just Pictures..Well, Mostly....

I have been wrestling with the idea of trying to make a couple of quid from my photos for some time now, but as I get enthused, then battered down by the reality of my attempts, I start and then stop......

I won't bore you with the details, but a few weeks back I spent about £25 on some ink, and got 8 (only 6 useable) A4 prints, and am feeling that while yes, the quality seems pretty good, that there probably ought to have been more or less double that.......

Sheesh....

The local printers in the village can do them cheaper, and still make money.....so maybe that's the way forward, apart from exceptionally personal ones.....

Patriotic View of "The Monkey Nick"

The fields on this particular stretch of my Saturday walk were teaming with hares, just too quick and too far away to get any decent shots, though, believe me I tried.....This one was gone about a second later....... Honestly, I saw four hares in each of four fields, and six in the last......

"Stairway to Digley Res...."

"Moody Over Goodbent"

I love this one, and the more I looked at it, I came to realise that it's not some alien invader, but that the shutter speed, 1/160 must have just been a teeny weeny bit slower than the flap of the pigeon's wings, but only fractionally....... 

And again the shutter was deliberately slightly slower on this one, even without carrying the tripod for such things........I know it's hardly stunning, but I shoot what I see.....

 Now all these are either 1/3000 or 1/2000, the camera simply didn't like the 1/4000 attempts as they were too dark to use. It was an extremely shady place, and I admit to having to tart these up a good bit to make them useable, but I love the effect, and am wondering if they, or at least an odd one, might make a good card?

Not these two though, these are just the "I love my dogs" thing........which, to be fair, I think I have managed to avoid overall in this blog, but hey, once in a while you have to get all indulgent......

Normal service will return, and I'll get back on the poetry.........

More Archived Old Stuff.....Sorry!

 

Presented without a whole post-mortem, as I can't cope with being accused of being a self obsessed cnut again.

Treacle Thoughts.

Note to self; don't post images before writing something as it makes it hard to write anything afterwards.....

More random old stuff.

My aim is to clear the archive, well, apart from the really, truly awful crap, and then concentrate, with a clearer mind, hopefully, on contemporary......not that that is going especially well, but it gives me something solid to aim for.....afterwards.

 

 

 

I had such high hopes for sorting things out, and have had for my entire adult life. Small steps I think, is the way forward, as I am really not dealing with anything terribly well right now.

Still, as per the post, the archive will be cleared eventually, so then I will have to revert to the hand-written stuff, and the contemporary.... 

Good night......
