I did http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Name changes confuse me hehe!!!


Here's a few more, if it's ok to post so many so soon?


A lot of them lose a little in being so small, i don't like to clutter webpages though - tend to resize too much instead!



This is in a frame in our lounge actually, a favourite place of ours to go to and just relax..

spooky shot of my bf, in the castle - i was playing around taking his shadow, and noticed on the picture later the weird light streaking up to the top.. like a ghost hehe!! Except i think it has more to do with the fact there was a small tiny shaft in the roof, must have been letting a tiny bit a light in casuing this effect. But we prefer to think of the ghosty side instead, sucking his body away http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif We were in the Kings private chapel in Conwy Castle..

Aww thank you http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Rather than just dig out more of my massive back log of older pics, here's 3 from the last 6 weeks - each very different to each other! (but are they any good?)

A quick 3 from my trip last week. I haven't been through much of my pics, not had time and i didn't take much any good (as these show!) as my fingers were swelling and stiff!

I hope anyone viewing likes my photos though, and if anyone does look - thankyou.

I don't know why you don't think they're very good. I like them very much, but I'm not a professional or anything. I want to go running down the hill in the misty meadow shot!

Thankyou.

I just lost confidence a while ago, and struggled to get it back - so tend to go overboard on the "they're not very good" angle.. saves being hurt when someone says to me "they're not very good"!

Thankyou, i do appreciate the feedback http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif


Here's 2 more, the london one was july, and the lighthouse was october.

Do you think any of the stuff i've posted here is good enough to sell? honest opinion required, even if it hurts..

I don't know if i'd ever have the guts to go for it, but maybe one day.
Don't want to get laughed at though for trying! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

Though i know whether someone would buy things is all down to personal tastes anyway, but still... i saw some framed 10x8s of northwest places on sale in the city today for £22, and mine were better than those, in my opinion anyway.. but i just don't know how you'd even start. I'm the shy nervous type, scared of looking silly and being laughed at and failing - but i know you get nowhere in life being like that, it's time for me to change.

Beautifully framed shot.

I think you should give yourself more credit. You've some lovely images!

I think the one with the bench more near works for me compositionally, there's something very inviting and more personal about it, nice work. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Yes, they're absolutely good enough to sell http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

I haven't really been taking many pics lately - but here's a couple i took yesterday. It's a shame there wasn't a pattern/detailed sky on the dusk one, but i don't go to liverpool that often so had to make do, plus we were late and had to set off home! These were just a couple on my old Sx110, they're hand held so i'm amazed i was still enough (forgot my mini tripod), it was a bloody cold day, but nice to go out for valentines, and a bonus if i take a couple of snaps as well http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

These 2 were from november in london the day of the albert hall Tori gig, can't decide which looks better..?

I didn't mean to neglect my own thread and this forum, my new year promise to myself is to get into taking more pictures, and being around more.

This is a pic from a couple of years ago to start me off. It's not great but it's not bad, i have a few in different crops, but this is the original.


http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...plesmaller.jpg

I can see why you can't decide. I love them both! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Here's a few of the concert photos i've taken the last few years. I don't take many, it distracts from the gig in a way, but i like what i've taken http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

I plastered copyright all over as the paul forum members have a habit of stealing peoples pictures and passing them as their own http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/rolleyes.gif


Edit to say i see photobucket has compressed and shrunk it, ah well, the orig looks clear but you can get the idea from this one http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

5 years ago i took a photo every day for the entire year, and made it into a giant poster (by my own hand, not one of these auto progs where it drops the pictures into boxes for you, it was just me and paint-shop-pro!).

Here's a mini mini mini version, but you get the idea. There's a 30 x 20 inch version in a frame on the wall, so each day shows up as 1 x 1.5inches. Just big enough to see what it is of.

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...007montage.jpg

I'm doing another one this year, but different shape, and to make it not look too samey as 2007 each month is a theme (a lame theme i admit - like January was the cats, Feb was football, March my mum, April the outdoors, May is my partner, June will be the house and garden, July will be me, and after that i'm not sure yet!). The first one i think i was too conscious of making some blocks colourful and not all blending into one, instead of just taking stuff and putting it together months later. I'm trying to be less strict this time.


I know it's quite a common thing to make - anyone else done one?

That is awesome: both that you did a photo a day for one year AND that you compiled them into a collage. I've not done a "365", but I know there are some Flickr groups for that. Might give it a try in 2013.

I attempted my second one this year and failed out again. I just reach a point where I get utterly bored with it. The first year I just went with snapshots; this time I thought would be a lot easier since I have been doing Project 52 all of last year and again this year... having a theme and assignments and such. I got tired of doing the daily photo, though - I went from snapshots to trying to actually make a worthy thought-out photo and think I overdid it; I just don't have that kind of time and motivation.

Thanks Kala, i think it's worth doing so def give it a go http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

And i'm not saying it didn't become a pain somedays, running around at 11pm thinking i haven't took one what can i take! But every day is genuinely on the correct day, i didn't miss any.

But i think the trick to not getting bored of it is to make a collage/poster (even though your days are small to see). If i was just taking pictures and sticking them on the computer and not thinking about what to do with them til the end of the year i think it would be easy to end up viewing it as a pain and lack motivation, a bit like Em. But once a week i went through my pictures, and pasted them onto my giant empty tiff, so the poster grew before my eyes so that once i got half way through the year i could see the potential and couldn't wait to fill the thing! It didn't take up as much time of your day as you would think. But yeah, i concentrated on just making edges not be similar colours and having some stand out, if they were full size pictures a lot of them are nothing special and just snaps. But i like it on the wall, it's behind me as i type http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif








here's a crop of 2 sections of that tiny one above, you can see none are exactly wonderful arty photos, some are cat snaps, others a little more thought (but not much!), some just cos the whole thing needed a splurge of colour in that corner, and a couple of nice views!

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...007montage.jpg


it looks good as a one piece, but i know it isn't the artiest thing in the world, but 80% of the pictures mean something to me so it's a personal thing.
