New camera

I am delighted to have acquired a new (secondhand) camera recently. It's really an early birthday present (thanks, OH), but I just had to try it out to make sure everything worked OK. ;) I should be able to zoom in on things a whole lot better, maybe even play about with some fancy effects. I don't intend to get technical though, just hopefully get some good shots...

Photography

I recently signed up to Fine Art America to see if I can sell some of my photographs to the folk across the pond. Part of me feels as if I am selling my soul, another part says that this is a sensible thing to do if I want to make some sort of income from this creative process. I don't intend to change the type of photographs I take or post to the site (I now have a collection of more than 50 photos on the Photo4me website), so I think I feel comfortable reaching out to this potential new market. Just hoping it doesn't increase the contents of my spam folder, however. This will be monitored closely. Here's a link to the photographs of Scotland (including mine, I hope!) that can be found on the Fine Art America site: scotland photos

Slioch

An unusually clear view of Slioch taken on the way east and homewards last Saturday. The bend in the road along Loch Maree side...

Magical view

This was the view west out into the Atlantic from our secret picnic spot last week.

Cherry blossom

The weather recently has been very mixed. That's putting it mildly. There has just been a violent hailstorm clattering on the roof, demanding attention. The other day, it was all blue skies and cherry blossom. I thought you'd prefer the latter to the former.

Follow @jenniferjwatson Trying to link the blog to Twitter. I know I shouldn't try things out live, but here goes! Also am guessing that the button should not go right slap bang in the middle of the page. Do I care? Maybe a bit.

Spring barley

Lovely walk along the old railway line today.

I've just signed up for a photography website, photo4me.com, as a place to sell my photographs from, including canvases.  Someone I know sells their photos there, so it seems like a good idea.  Maybe I should have done a bit more homework, but it was a carpe diem moment. 

You can find me on the site at http://www.photo4me.com/pebblesonthebeach

Although I am waiting for my first three images to be approved.

Onwards and upwards.
