SECOND WAVE OF A FEW DAYS

Well here is another lot of photographs ..

Hard work this ..

Photography is, in many ways, a pain in the arse .. for me.

Have the right tools
Get to where you might find photography subjects
Work out the best settings or better still vary them with different shots
Work out the best frame or ..
Work out the bet angles
Pray to God the light is good when your there
Get them home
Upload the to a computer
Put them into a RAW image editing program
Fiddle with settings prior to converting
Convert
Fiddle with even more slider .. like monochrome
Upload to Fickr
Wait an eternity for that
Tag all the pictures
Then link the pictures across to blogs ..
And Instagram
And Pinterest
And Tumblr
And Facebook

Sheesh! Bloody hard work .. sitting on your arse doing nothing while 2,600 photographs take themselves and post-process themselves for you?!

However .. I do enjoy it and find it .. therapeutic .. most of the time. This worked well for me and my health issues, even long before I knew what these health issues actually were. Of course now I know I have at least two and these cause all manner of issues.

But what can you do?

Well if your the public services you can make promises you then break at the thirteenth hour and give no support whatsoever and then pull the rug from under you. Because that is what you do when your in it with them .. you suffer and some have even died so that they can save money ..

But again .. what can you do?

Here are some pictures ..

THE FIRST WAVE OF A FEW DAYS

Right then .. as I said and it was hard but I have managed to do a few .. well seventy photographs thus far which I think will be a little under 10% of what I took!

There will be additions to my Flickr account with other accounts like Tumblr, Instagram and Pinterest getting the best of these.

These will be each day of tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and likely Tuesday too?

Well .. the 'First Wave of a Few Days' you may think is linked to that three parter? Well that three parter became a fourth parter as I was taken somewhere with Wild Strawberries, some neat other wild plants and flowers, very near where I lived back in the nineties, and some butterflies. Though I was very ill and out of it and we was supposed to go to a second location . in a damned car and I could not do it!

Yup .. happy with that number so far .. if it carries on at that ration I might get over 500 and maybe even 700 photographs up?!

Just remember that ..

Still Learning about Camera - Sony A99II
Still Learning about Post Processing, this might start to tell about now?
Fighting some horrible health symptoms .. while wondering if I am going to drop dead at any minute both with and without warnings
Two Horror stories currently unfolding
It was .. DAMNED HOT!! LOL!

Right there is some monochrome .. stuff, some Poppies, some architecture stuff and first photographs of parts of an old .. very old Abbey ..

But first and foremost .. after a five year absence and oddly but nicely associated with me and what I do in another blog .. he is back ..
