My Passion

Yup, its horses for courses really as the saying goes. If you like to tinker, then fair enough..go for it. I'm an amateur 'tog and although I would love to be a fully fledged pro one day, for the moment I'm happy enough taking the shots I want to..I dont even try to sell my work as yet. I do have a domain and website there but for nearly three years there has only been three photo's and a couple of articles on it.

I probably could sell my work, but I've never got round to it as a lot of work would need to be done to do it, I'd much rather be out taking more photo's or in the garden pottering about. I must be daft or something...or am i?

Hi Steve,Thanks for that.I enjoy taking photo's even with my camera and as yet have tinkered around with trying to make them better as I prefere to see them as taken.Saying that though when we went up to the Lakes last September I had only had my new camera a few weeks so was still in the learning stage so to speak.When we got them back home I was dissapointed to find that a lot of the scenery was sloping because in my eagerness to take the photos I hadn't looked at the horizon properly.A kind member on here told me the way to get rid of the sloping horizons using Paintshop but at the moment havn't had the time to sit and go through them all to put them right:rolleyes:

Thankyou for sharing them with us:thumb:

 

Fabulous pics. Steve, yep Cumbria is a beautiful area, i'm a Cumbrian born & bred .

 

Beautiful photos Steve, thought about a job making picture post cards. Stunning scenery.Your very professional.:thumb: 02

 

WOW! Stunning photo's Steve. You have skill, no question:thumb:

 

I agree with O2 - too many postcards these days are mediocre and don't do a spot justice. Yours would sell at the top end of the range instantly as yours do MORE than justice to a beautiful landscape - your combination of composition and minimal editing make the perfect perfecter!!!!

and when you've finished photographing Cumbria - come down here and do DARTMOOR!

I really liked your photos on Nutty's sunrise/sunset thread - meant to say that when I visited Buttermere I also spent a happy night in Workington celebrating a friend's 40th in the social club there. They looked like photos from the Caribbean - I couldn't believe those astounding sunscapes were England!

 

excellent SteveR! think the buttermere one is my fav at the moment but the night shots on your other thread take some beating!:thumb:

 

There are certain times of the day and year where the light makes 10x the difference between a good photo and an outstanding one, all of yours Steve's are outstanding.:thumb: If you have any more......

 

Absolutly amazing photos, I love the lakes in particular the langdale area, Youve brought back a few memorys of childhood holidays. I really must go back.

Another cannon man lol great cameras, i use an Izsus rather than a SLR due to compactness me being a bit of a snap happy sort of person.

 

A few more for you...







..as you seem to be enjoying them so much.

Many thanks for all of your nice comments, its great to receive such accolades from you all.

steve, love them all!

personally i may have removed the flare in the crummock in autumn one, but thats my taste.

i would love to do landscapes but i seem not to have the patience except with people.

Wow, I am speechless. Very proffessional Steve.

 

Brilliant pictures makes you catch your breath with the sheer beauty of them.Well done Steve.Hel.xxx.

 

You've got a great eye for light and texture Steve. Autumnal Bassenthwaite is my favourite, I think. Almost doesn't look real - like you tinted a black and white photograph!
