I can visit, infrequently, through the kindness of key holders (I gave mine up). So, I intend to have two scores - uber and mini. If you agree, I will use the higher score.Steve Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459545933323958452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-55243671907090708832019-01-13T20:23:09.646+00:002019-01-13T20:23:09.646+00:00Just been through your last 3 posts Steve. the pat...Just been through your last 3 posts Steve. the patch list seems to be thundering along!

They would never grace the pages of a magazine or calendar and dull, flat lighting resulted in dull, flat photo’s. My yardstick is that if it was a very common bird would the picture have any merit and the answer was no. Not false modesty, not fishing for compliments, just how people like me see their photographs.<br /><br />I looked at the twitter site mentioned and can only say that it’s yet another reason to add to why I dislike social media. <br /><br />Sorry if it sounds like a rant but I would much rather someone criticize a picture I like than say that I’m looking for compliments for calling a poor picture a record shot.<br /><br />I'll go and crawl back into my hole again now ;)<br />dmcjournalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109181829840791814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-77258588556347584132019-01-13T09:17:57.394+00:002019-01-13T09:17:57.394+00:00Digital photography has made the ability to obtain...Digital photography has made the ability to obtain good images a thing that requires little time, skill or expense.
