robert7111a Report post Posted January 1, 2013 Well, despite all the negativity and bad weather 2013 started off with nice sunny weather and a stroll round the park with my camera. It's been a while since I've been out and to just relax and snap some pics of the trees, the fountains, the ducks and geese etc was great. Give me a camera, a nice big park and lots of sunshine and I'm in heaven. Made a huge difference with a welcome break from the dreary weather we've been having. Certainly enough to lift me out of the lows of my mood cycle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert7111a Report post Posted January 1, 2013 Ok, I'll sort out one or later - only problem is...I don't know how to upload pictures here... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A-S warrior Report post Posted January 1, 2013 I think immage posting has been disabled. I think you have to put up a link via photobucket, flickr etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert7111a Report post Posted January 1, 2013 Ah then I have a problem as I don't have an account with either. I once had an account with Fotopic before they went under. So sorry mate, looks like this aint gonna be possible... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oakers Report post Posted January 1, 2013 I know how you feel... Here was quite nice earlier so the dog and I got a much needed outing. Feels good doesn't it?! I was trying to think if there was somewhere I knew where you could upload photos... Have you thought of Flickr if you want to share photos on a regular basis? I used to use that a little bit when I was doing my music photography. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert7111a Report post Posted January 1, 2013 Hi Oakers I didn't use Fotopic that much so when it went to the wall, I wasn't really bothered about signing up to anything else. Also what kinda put me off was enthusiasts who would put up everything - even rubbish, blurry photos just to get noticed. That isn't me. Another excuse I know, but life is so hectic at present, I'm still captioning up "official" photos that I took 6 months ago! Maybe it's this hectic life that is stopping me, or my lack of spontaneous seeking to share achievements etc that uploading recent stuff to a "new" site isn't at the top of my priorities at the moment. Who knows eh...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oakers Report post Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) No, I can see what you're saying about sites like that and have often thought the same myself. I really don't understand why some people upload what they do but then again I have a super self-critical eye and that sometimes transcends into how I view other work. I was lucky in one sense that when I was doing my photography it was, to a point, time limited with regards to editing and uploading, otherwise there was a time when I'd have quite happily have left the editing for some time. I'd take my time with stuff but I couldn't ever just sit on it, as I sometimes wished I could. The other good thing was that I really only used Flickr to upload a little of my work, as I had my own music website that I was running. Although, I do wonder if I'd still be taking photos now if I didn't have all that pressure on top of a physical illness and a full time job!! I know, pressure is good right?!! I think the key though is to enjoy what you're doing the suggestion re Flickr was more as a storage point but I can see why it'd be off putting.

A-S warrior Report post Posted January 1, 2013 I might have to get into photography you know. I can see me really enjoying it. I'll add it to my other 1001 hobbies lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oakers Report post Posted January 2, 2013 AS... I only ever liked music photography... never really found any interest in anything else, sadly. Now I need to find another hobby, besides baking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
