Guess I need to pop my head up over the parapet lol.....
Big changes at work mean good things, but harder and more work for us guys.....time I get home , if Im not shagged out then the last thing I want to do is take the camera out right now......
Not sure where I am this year tbh, not finding it as enjoyable in a few ways. I still like the theme idea and enjoy trying to be original, but I think for me, this year seems to be 90% tit for tat comments...and whilst I fully understand the reasoning from folks doing this, Im not sure it aids progress in the artform....
For example, in order to obtain some comments on my thread, I have to post small praisefull comments on a number of shots that, ordinarily, I would pass by.
Now , dont get me wrong, Im no pro tog but enjoy what I do...does that make me fit to crit others ? Im not sure...consequently, I post 15 "nice image, on themes" to get maybe, one or two properly constructive crits on my work....
This isnt aimed at anyone, but just open thoughts being typed....
im still in the game but havnt yet shot Rural, despite living in the sticks, but Im missing something from the 52 this year.
I can post a theme and guarantee answers frome the old hands, most of what they offer is very good and valid.....
I actually enjoy
@seaodyssey 's crit, beacuse it succint and to the point.....
Feel like Im just blithering now, dont mean to offend anyone, but just saying where Im at....
