'Without light there is no photography. It is the inspiration and life-giver to the photographic image' Max Dupain 1988

My Profile.

I'm a wife, mother, plane/ship enthusiast and I love photography (I'm just a freelance/hobby photographer. I have spent hours photographing aircraft, ships and just about everything else. Have even had my photo's published in magazines & Books, and also some have been used for marketing, Tourism, Websites etc. To sell your first photo is a buzz you won't forget.

I'm always learning more about photography, and I enjoy every moment, and every shot I take. I just don't enjoy sorting through them at the end of a shoot...lol

Criticisms from my "peers", on my work, gratefully received, as long as they are followed by some constructive advice. PS.. I don't argue with fools it only encourages them ;-)

A word of advice learn to use the manual setting on your camera and get off auto!! Remember the Rule of Thirds", although it's not written in blood, it is a good thing to keep in mind..

Please don't be offended if I Fave your photo and don't leave a comment. I only Fave photo's I truly admire, so please take it as highest praise. I have a lot of contacts and photo's to look through and I don't have the time to comment on every single one, every single time..

***** PLEASE DON'T INVITE ME TO JOIN FLICKR GROUPS!!

They are getting out of hand and too time consuming and complicated these days. Also toooo many copycat photographers (ship photography in particular) that can't seem to think of pov's for themselves. I should be flattered but I'm just over it!!!

I'm too old and cranky to waste my precious time following the groups inane rules!

I'm here to share and have fun, lots of lovely talented people on Flickr just enjoy the photo's and stop hassling people with endless emails to join this that or the other, OR the group emails to look at your photo or send UNSOLICITED NEWSLETTERS or LOOK AT MY PHOTOSTREAM, to my Flickrmail !!! *****

**Just one more criticism; I'm more than happy for you to FAV MY PHOTO'S, But..YOU MUST HAVE A PROFILE THAT IS AT LEAST, FILLED IN, with a bit about yourself and some photo's and or photo sets of YOUR OWN to share with the flickr community. Not just downloading other peoples photos without permission to use as subjects for your artwork', (oils, acrylic or pastels), you are still breaching copyright, (If you want to paint/draw etc any of my photos, Then - BUY THEM!!) I get a little suspicious when people fav photo's and have NO PROFILE and NO PHOTO'S of their own. This will lead to being INSTANTLY BLOCKED by me!!**
