Have you?....

Looked back on your old shots and realised how far you have come since starting out, or taking up photography again?

I looked back at my old stuff over the last few nights and realised that my photography has changed a lot.
Ok so I'm much more limited in what I can do now but a few things stood out.

I look at things in a different way now, I'm always looking for a different angle.

I'm much more aware of light now.

I'm much more aware of the effects of different exposure combinations and especially the affects of aperture choice.

I don't use anywhere near as much processing or effects in photoshop as I used to, in fact now it tends to be more the usual's in ACR then just a bare minimum in CS5.

I actually think my limitations have worked for me, its forced me to stop "snapping" and think about what I'm going to do before I do it.


Here's a few examples.

i have changed
from transparencies in 35mm and medium format
to digital at the lower end of the scale
what i have changed in is the use of software to manipulate images which i couldnt do before...and hope to get better at that side of things
