Trying to find time…

The last two weeks have been an absolute nightmare. Things have gotten so crazy and I’ve found myself with very little time to do anything besides work at the computer.

Needless to say, I haven’t been able to get out and spend any amount of time taking photos with my Olympus SP-560UZ but I hope to remedy that this weekend.

There has been an upside to the debacle that has been the last two weeks, it’s given me some time to find a nice site called Imagekind that will allow folks to purchase greeting cards and various size prints of some of my photos along with frames and matting so they look like “proper” art.

I opted to sign up for the free account to try them out which provides 1 album for 24 photos or 200MB of space depending on the size of your images. So far I’ve only managed to upload a few photos, which can be found here.

Considering the limited amount of time I have today, I think I’ll re-post me previous photo compilation and see if I can actually get out for a few more this evening. (Click thumbnail to enlarge.)

Many thanks to those who’ve stopped by and taken a look at the photos posted here. I hope you get the chance to swing buy again. If you like any of the photos you see on this site please feel free to visit my albums over at Shutterpoint and comments are welcome here on the blog.

Green Theme Photos…

It seems there’s been a lot of interest lately in all things “green”.  I decided that I would make an effort to take a few “green” themed photos a couple of times a week as part of my regular hobby. The Olympus SP-560UZ makes this pretty easy with a ton of creative shooting options. My efforts to date can be seen below.(Click thumbnails to enlarge.) 

These are hopefully the first of many “green” themed photos to appear on this site and if anyone would like to make a suggestion for future green photos I’d be more than happy to give it a “shot”. (Pun intended )

Photos I’ve Sold…

The photography hobby is starting to pay dividends as I’ve managed to sell two of the photos I’ve taken with my new Olympus SP-560UZ.

In a previous post I’d indicated a bit of a dilemma between trying to shoot “stock” photos vs. shooting the photos first and considering the audience later. I opted for the shoot first method and it seems, at least for me to have been the route to go.

Here’s the two that I’ve sold (Click thumbnails to enlarge.)

A few other fun facts to consider since opening a shutterpoint account…

Since I opened the the account on July 24th of this year I have uploaded 51 images which have received 1600 views with the most viewed being clicked 70 times.

The two photos above have been viewed 34 and 45 times respectively.

It’s been a lot of fun seeing how many times my photos have been viewed and while getting ratings feedback and ideas on how to improve. I have no issues recommending Shutterpoint and their service to anyone. Sell your photos online

Smhphotos Stock Photo Compilation

I’ve had the new Olympus SP-560UZ for about 3 weeks now and by last count have snapped around 1200 photos with it.

After getting to know the camera a bit I realized I really liked some of the photos I’d taken and decided to spend a few bucks and sign up with the micro stock photography service Shutterpoint. I liked that I not only get space to upload photos, there is also an active community that provides ratings and feedback on your pictures.  Who knows, maybe if I get lucky I’ll actually sell a few and that leads me to tonight’s post.

I’ve decided to try a “compilation” post with all the photos I’ve submitted so far and see what if any feedback I get. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed taking them. (Click thumbnails to enlarge.)

That’s about all I really have time for today. If you like any of the photos you see on this site please feel free to visit my albums over at Shutterpoint and comments are welcome here on the blog.

A few quick shots…

Had the opportunity to sneak in a few quick photos with the Olympus SP-560UZ over the last couple of days despite the hectic schedule. Have a little down time this morning so I figured I’d update my photoblog. The following are a combination of creative and still life photos quickly captured on a sunny afternoon. Hope you enjoy. (Click thumbnails for larger images.)

That’s about all I really have time for today. I hope to sneak in another post or two this week, but it might be the weekend or next week before I get to again.
