If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!How I’m getting more out of Flickr I have a free account with Flickr at the moment. And I am finding more and more ways that Flickr can help my photography skills and my communication and networking with others. I have found that Flickr groups are great for this, and makes Flickr a truly interactive photo sharing site.

How I’m getting more out of Flickr I have a free account with Flickr at the moment.

I have found that Flickr groups are great for this, and makes Flickr a truly interactive photo sharing site. It was just a case of choosing a group or groups that I wanted to join and then I could join in with the discussions and submit photos or do the challenges.

Image Sensors are the nitty gritty end of the digital camera. Basically the digital version of film. But just as there are lots of different types of film that you can buy, there are also lots of different types (or sizes) of image sensors, and this can be important when choosing a digital camera. What is an Image Sensor: An Image Sensor is a device that converts an optical image to an electric signal. It is used mostly in digital cameras and other imaging devices. It is a set of charge-coupled devices (CCD) or CMOS sensors... [Read the full story]

Image of the Week #31

This week in image of the week: Where do you think this was taken? I couldn’t believe it myself when I came around the corner and saw this idyllic beach. It was actually taken in North West Scotland on the road to Mallaig. We’ve just been up there for a long weekend on my husbands motorbike, and enjoyed the most glorious weather I have ever had while visiting Scotland (and I have been a fair bit!). It just looks like somewhere in the Mediterranean. I love Scotland, and when you see it like this there is just... [Read the full story]

Camera Colour Features v’s Photoshop
February 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment
My camera has an option to change the colour settings of the camera to full colour, black & white or sepia. So I went out to give them a try as I have’nt used them before. These three photographs are the result. It was a dull day and it was raining so I picked a subject that was full of colour to give greater contrast. I used to sometimes shoot in black and white film on my old camera so it’s nice to be able to just flick between the two (colour and black and white) whenever I feel like it. Although the detail...

Finding a Good Photography Project
July 11, 2008 · 1 Comment
There are loads of good photography projects around. There are a couple of regular ones on blogs that I follow that I like to take part in, like at Neil Creek’s blog. But he hasn’t got one on this month so I’m looking for something new to try. I also take part in some Flickr group projects that I’ve joined recently which are normally weekly, and then there’s always my Project 365, so doing something else as well could be too much. But I’ve just come across a new site called Photo Challenge... [Read the full story]

Do you have a Photography Blog?
July 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment
I have to admit I love having my photography blog. I love sharing what I have done and learned with photography, and I love to have a voice about it and be able to talk about my photography. But this photography blog is not my first blog and I know from experience that it can be easier said than done starting a blog. And getting my knowledge about blogging to a point where I am confident in what I am doing took some time. For me it was a steep learning curve and took longer than I had hoped to get where I wanted. However... [Read the full story]
