looking into 2012
1 min read
2012.
I got some stuff to look forward to this year:
A new College course, Weddings to photograph this year (not sure if I am looking forward to that or dreading it, and a new website to put into production.
Also got lots of experimentation with my
ND 3.0 filter and a new lens planned, if all goes to plan, possibly a new camera body too!.
Should keep me busy for a wee while.
What you guys got planned for 2012?

To my D.A. Friends.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for putting up with my assorted images this year.
Nothing will change in the new Year - you'll still be bombarded with them on occasions!
I do hope that the Silly Season doesn't affect you too much - or if it does you'll at least have your camera handy so we can all see!
For 2012 I wish you all that you need and then some! Good health, prosperity, good working conditions, no car problems, ease in lifting the roll-a-door, lots of laughter, snazzy fingernails, whatever is good for you!
But I guess the thing I wish you the most is Happiness.
Merry Christmas, and All Good Things for the New Year.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
2 min read
Well ok, I'm not actually leaving but I just love that book :
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (1984, ISBN 0-345-39183-7) The fourth book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" written by Douglas Adams.
What I did want to say though is..........THANK YOU.
Thanks for the faves - the Feedback and the Llamas.
I just wanted to say this on here, publically, in case I don't always get back to you and say thanks personally.
I appreciate the favourites, makes me really happy to think you guys like my images.
The llamas I still don't really get if I am honest......? what do I do with them? can I swap them, sell them or trade them? I dunno but if you give / gave me a llama, thank you, again it shows me you appreciate something I have said or done.
And lastly, for the feedback and friendship, THANK YOU.
Like most of us I love to hear from old and new friends and to get feedback on my pics is important and helps me to think more about what I am doing.
If I don't answer you personally for a favourite or llama, please know I truly appreciate it.
Take care guys

A formal Introduction........(finally)

A formal Introduction........
I live in Central Scotland, Love nature and architechture in all it's forms.
We have some amazing historical landmarks in Scotland as well as mountains and scenery to die for, Sometimes you gotta travel to see it or even climb a hill, walk for miles, but it's worth the effort.
Took up photography some years ago but only recently got into it fully. Recently invested in a new Canon 550D, so far am delighted with the camera. Also got a 70-300mm lens too. Will look into a wide angle lens soon too. (need neverending funds for this hobby lol)
I've always enjoyed taking pictures, from 35mm cameras back in the 80's to Digital to DSLR today, I take pictures of everything that interests me, I often annoy the fmaily with my "snapping" but they all seem to enjoy looking back at the memories.
I'm quite wary of showing my pics as I am a real amatuer but I figure, I need some feedback and I'm a big boy, I can take criticism and advice. I've already met some real nice people here on DeviantArt I'm pleased to say and am awed by the quality and scope of the pictures I am seeing here.
Am experimenting now with portraits and Macro as well as "whatever catches my eye".
I generally only use colour correction in post editing or some cropping, much prefer the picture to tell the story than "shopping" it.
I am not adverse to using photoshop or manipulation in photographs, I just don't know the program well enough to try it, That's on my "to do" list :0)
Are there any other easy to use progs apart from Photoshop as that is also quite expensive.?
Please check out my gallery and feel free to leave feedback, .
Thanks for looking at my photographs.

So, have decided to purchase a new DSLR, BUT there's so much choice.................
I currently have a Lumix G10 - great little camera if I'm honest but I would like something more mainstream, Canon or Nikon maybe, what model would you guys recommend?
I appreciate that cost and availabilty is involved when buying, also new or used, also, what do I want ot do with the camera, all salient points, but am really looking for general advice, a camera that will allow me to kinda do most things, scenery and portraits (Not professionally)
I've looked at the Canon 500D and Nikon D80 so far, both look like good machines. The Nikon is a friend of mine's and he let me take a few pics with it too, feels good in the hand, takes great pics at 10 MP. is that enough? (daft question?) - The Canon was in-store so I couldnt use it as such, seems like a well equiped camera though.
Sorry if it's all a bit vague...............:0)
Would appreciate any advice or opinions.
