A FEW PICTURES MORE

It is relatively hard to do that which I want to do right now.

I am wrapped up in a number of very serious things and most of last year's plans got destroyed because this country likes to be dishonest and .. well, cheat. All details of this are on another blog .. but I am trying to make the most of my current situation but it has its .. difficulties.

Been trying to get out for a few days but my own health problems and then someone close to me has cancer and had a second biopsy. This is not good and I ended up getting pictures closer to home that had not occurred to me previously.

When I do get the time to take some photos and then when I have gone through the long process of editing them on my slow PC, when it has not restarted spontaneously or the Virgin Media has not gone down for the umpteenth time that day I put them on ..



There are more photos on some of those than there are here.

My main picture site is actually FlickR as it uploads full size pictures, some others refuse to, and stores and shows people what camera I use and what lenses are used along with the settings like ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture size.

I have over 1,500 photos but many were taken on non-professional cameras, something I have only recently moved up to and all of last year I hardly took anything. Has been somewhat .. annoying but could not be avoided.

I would be happy if I could get 500 useful photos uploaded over the next couple of months.

That is going to be a .. challenge .. thanks to defunct and inactive public services.

I used two lenses in these few photos and one a Sigma 85mm f1.4 and the other a Sony 24-70mm f2.8 both on my Sony A99II.

Also was the first decent sunlight I have had to work with in a bloody long time!

THE BOKEH BEGINNING

Back after an unintended and very extended break .. despite the new camera and a very long story covered in the blog and to be covered in the media, according to a media agent a contract was signed with, later in the year.

These were taken with either a Sony 24-70mm f2.8 or a Sigma 85mm f1.4 on a Sony A99II and about time I got some with some bokeh!

I have recently started taking photos at the worst time of the year ..

Remember I am still experimenting .. getting used to the new camera and most importantly .. in a lot of pain when I am doing this .. or was doing this lot!
