Usually I love editing images.... But every now and then you come across one that just seems to have it in for you. Everytime you think you'e finished with it you realise you're not and after a while you start to consider just ditching it as you're fed up. For some reason this one has hit me that way. That said I kinda like it now it's done so I've added it to my 'Cars and Bikes' Gallery over on the website.

HI all,

I'm experimenting with sharing photos directly to here from my website.  I hope it works.... eek!

Yesterday I made it to the Yorkshire Modified Car Show (in Yorkshire obviously) and took a series of 'close up' shots which I've started editing.  Here's the first....

While my brain isn't working to well because of all the stress of my mother being in hospital I thought I'd catch up on some uploading etc.  Don't worry I'm not going to bombard you all with links etc - but I can't remember if I've ever mentioned on here that some of my work is now on Fine Art America.  If you're on there why not say 'Hi' :)

Just a quick message to say if you're having trouble getting hold of me it's because we're having a family issue. My mother is in hospital and as a result I'm not getting much time online....

Well I seem to have been posting a lot of transport orientated images of late - so I thought it was time for another 'Hidden Realm' shot....

This is one of the few shots I've taken that's actually freaked me out on the spooky-o-meter.....

Can anyone tell me why the 'muting' feature isn't stopping someone from constantly posting directly to me and filling up my notifications?

It's worked with other people....

Did I mention that one of my images was used on the cover of the programme? No.... Oooo silly me LOL.

Morning all :)  Yesterday I was photographing the Ipswich Transport Museum Historic Car Run from Ipswich to Felixstowe.  It was a beautiful day I I took a shed load of shots.  I've started working through them (took 3 hours to transfer them all off the camera memory cards and onto the computer last night) and the first few have been uploaded onto the gallery on my website.  Thought you might like to see a few over here though so here's some pretty headlights :)

The gallery on my website can be found at http://www.fantasiaphoto.co.uk/p169587506 if you're interested.

I know others have shared this but I want to add my voice as well. There are enough problems with posting work on the internet as it is without the government bringing in this legislation.

Squeals Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen..... It's with squeals and yips of delight I can now tell you all the news I've been sitting on for nearly a week. Last week I took a panel of images down to the Royal Photographic Society which was successful. Result? I'M NOW AN ARPS! (that's Associate of the Royal Photographic Society for my none photography friends - and it's a big deal for me)..... Oh and for the record I cried - a lot...

Ladies and gentlemen I shall be going through my albums and having a good old clear out.  Anything not watermarked and a small file size is going to be deleted.  This will probably have a nasty effect on old posts.....  Just to let ya know

Last Saturday day I had fun at the Easter Dog Show at The Dog House.  I've blogged about it and there are photos to look at up on my website.  I just love shows with classes such as 'waggiest tail' and 'best biscuit catcher'.

On Saturday I took images from my 'Hidden Realm' project (which encompasses the 'Ghost Project') out to the Leaping Hare Pagan Conference in Colchester.  I wasn't there to sell or anything like that, but to chat to people about the images and what they see in them.  Anyway I've blogged about it on the website and I had a blast all day :)

Good afternoon everyone. I'm delighted (absolutely DELIGHTED) to report that Jake the dog is healing well after his accident down the woods last week.

I was however feeling guilty for not sharing some more shots of Pebbles so here's another blog post with some in of her....

People this is gonna sound really whingy of me but PLEASE don't share posts directly with me about random stuff.  I have a limited amount of time on here a day and my notifications are getting silly.  Just had a look and there were 10 notifications in a row from someone I don't know about random stuff I don't care about - all clogging up my feed.

I know it sounds grumpy but if people keep doing this I'm going to start blocking them.  I'm missing notifications that are important as a result which is ticking me off.....

Photography Android App for my Final Year Project
(Final share I promise)

Hello photography friends,

I have a small favour to ask of you all :)

As part of my degree I am creating an android app for photographers and having just completed the prototype it would be hugely beneficial to gain some feedback from actual photographers.

I have distributed this around my peers at university but this gives me a very small target audience and I have had limited response from individuals who class themselves anything more than a beginner.

If you have 5 mins spare could you please complete this short usability survey

I will love you forever :)

Also if anybody fancies sharing this to their wall or any communities they are part of that would be massively helpful.

Thank you!
