Sorting through the wedding photographs

I have started sorting through them again. I have had a couple of set backs when I became ill and then through one thing and another I just have not got it done. But for the next month my main photography priority is to get them sorted out.

At least I have made a re-start.

I do not think that I am...

Cut out to be a competition photographer. the two pictures that I submitted to the latest competition did not do very well. they scored 13 and 14 out of 20. I was one of the lowest scores.

I do not think the judges like my style of photography. I love a shallow DOF but it seems that judges do not.

Ah well I will just keep submitting them just to see how they do.

Though I really need to upload the pictures that I have got recently and go through the pictures that I have got as well. I really need to start uploading onto Flickr again.

October Goals

These are my goals for October:

Get out taking pictures.

Sort through the wedding photographs.

Learn more about CS5.

Photoshop working again

I have been quiet on here but to be honest I have not really done a lot. I have managed to get CS5 working on my computer again (though I am now getting problems with my computer)

Hopefully I will be able to get back on track with my photography.

I need to build up a database of useful information. I will start printing out stuff from the Internet. I might scan in some of my articles that I have got.

I will start learning how to use the studio at the photography club that I am in.

The last thing that I need to do is work out what I would be able to make money from. I will not stop doing other types of photography, but I will be able to specialize in the area that I have chosen.

Drastic action

I have been thinking about the pile of magazine articles that I have got and I have been seriously considering just putting the whole lot in the paper bucket. It has become disorganized and I doubt I will ever sort through it. I will keep the booklets that they do from time to time.

Once I have done that I will just start from scratch. When I start getting the magazines again I will make sure that I am organized from the start so that I can avoid this happening again.

I know that if there is anything that I really want to learn about there will no doubt be soething on the Internet that will help me.

Getting there

I have been getting my camera out and taking more pictures. Sometimes though I have been taking any shot indoors at the end of the day. But then again that could also be an opportunity to expand the type of piuctures that I can get. I will have to look at the pictures and see how they look.

I do like taking shots of lights at night time. You get the light which is the only thing that is lit and the reflections of the light can create some interesting effects.

I have edited these shots that I got of some mushrooms.

Getting out and taking shots

I managed to get some shots taken on my birthday.
