Veterans Park

In Picture posts on June 25, 2009 at 10:15 am

Most of my photo excursions always seem to begin or end at Veterans Park here in Northeast Ohio. I’m not sure if it’s the park’s proximity or how unique the park is with it’s ever changing scenery and wildlife.

Veterans Park protects the largest inland pond in Lake county and is a remnant of original Ohio swamp forest. The park offers four accessible fishing piers, a 1.78-mile loop trail though native wetlands with 830 feet of boardwalk, and a wetland/wildlife viewing area. Granger Pond is generally stocked with catfish, bass, bluegill and rainbow trout. The property was purchased from The Granger Family by the City of Mentor in 1970 and was Mentor’s first neighborhood park. (Courtesy Lake Metroparks)

Now for a few photos Veterans Park…

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

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. That’s about all I really have time for today.

Sold my first photo !!!

After the last couple of days of looking at stock photos and realizing that I really wasn’t taking a lot of that type of photo, imagine my surprise today when I checked my account and realized that I’d sold my first image. (Click thumbnail to enlarge.)

The above photo that sold today was shot at Veteran’s Park the morning after a storm blew threw. I thought I might get lucky and capture a few cool pictures. Things were pretty hectic at the time and just getting out to the park and taking pictures provided a fair bit of relief.

This photo on the other hand is an actual attempt at a stock photo and was the more difficult of the two to acquire. Took about 20 trial and error shots to get the end result. (Click thumbnail to enlarge.)

 

I think I’ve decided to follow the shoot first and consider the audience later approach as it would seem that I can actually sell this type of photo and enjoy taking them far more.

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.

Veteran’s Park early morning…

Snuck out early this morning with the Olympus SP-560UZ to Veteran’s Park just after sunrise, before the day started to get too crazy. It was a windy, slightly chilly morning after a storm the night before. The combination of wind, sun, clouds, and the park made for some nice pictures. Hope you enjoy. (Click thumbnails to enlarge.)
