I am 46, retired early.
When I take photographs I am not really that interested if the F stops or exposures are all spot on, or the colours tones or contrasts are all accurate. There is something that I try to express in my photographs and that is ‘art’. To me a piece of art is something that looks nice and pleasing to an individual, I ask, does it look pretty and presentable and would you hang it on the wall? When I select a photograph for Flickr, if it ticks that box, I load it.
So, it doesn’t matter if the skies purple, pink, yellow or green. If it looks nice relax into the picture and enjoy it for what it is. A work of art…

Steve is a wonderful flickr member! I discouvered his beautiful photos of the lake district some months ago and was fascinated by his photo stream at once. I like the way he presents his fantastic work in series, well numbered and organised. There are fantastic sights which inspires me - and not only me - to paint them. His reaction always is so positive that it is really thrilling to do it! But not only is he a brilliant photographer with unexpected perspective and fabulous skies, full moons, suns, reflections, grasses and trailors :-) but also a very inventive digital painter. He has a fantastic humour, expecially regarding his mother-in-law, and makes me always smiling. On the other hand he shows us the region where he lives and gives us interesting information about it. Steve, I thank you for your wonderful photos, your way to make me smile, your wonderful encouraging comments and your helping hand regarding some marketing questions:-) I'm thankful and happy to call you my flickr friend!
