Another upload of the first log trial run from Aberystwyth earlier this year and following on from the approach shot previously uploaded.
97304 "John Tiley" and 97303 "Dave Berry" are on the sharp end with 6C55, the 19:56 Aberystwyth Run Round Loop to Chirk Kronospan, skirting the River Dovey and nearing Dovey Junction in low light, Friday 29/4/22.
There was a trial running logs from Aberystwyth back in 2005, but strangely, it was top and tailed by MPV's, lets hope this latest trial develops into a regular working, at least the traction is better this time around!

We have had so very little bright light or blue skies lately. I go out to take pictures and come back uninspired but feeling fresh. This is an image I took last week when sunlight was peeking through the bush where we were hiking. Usually I am looking for distinct patterns in the trees for my composition. However, this time I was drawn to the network of branches and how tightly they were integrated with each other. Often we see forests with trees replanted in rows. This is about as untamed as you can get with a forest. And the light was just enough to make it interesting. On the dull days, I am glad for my network of connections who share their images and keep me inspired for the next photo opportunity.

For Lisa, aka Zoom In Tight. Cancer is trying hard to knock her down but we're all here to keep her up. We're that grid you see on the building in this photo, some of us are rusty but we still have plenty of strength in us. The "jokes" are for you and a little nod to your fantastic humor.

Just recently I’ve seen quite a few of my contacts heading over to 500px (for those of you that are unfamiliar with it, it’s a new photo social networking site, but unlike flickr you can vote for images to reach the front page). Now I know there are plenty of other photography social networks around, ephotozine, photoradar, x1, even facebook, but what I find interesting about the rise of this new one is not the site in particular, but the my contacts behaviour in approaching this new site. Many are posting what they themselves consider their best most successful work, filtering their new uploads to present them in the very best light. Now, there is nothing wrong with this at all, in fact it’s a good way to gauge a new community and gain valuable feedback. But for most new members dipping their tow into the water, their new community is largely the same faces with different avatars. There is nothing new and it’s like a different pub with the same friends, it feels fresh, but people still behave the same.
Any social network is based on its members and the rewards come from the social interaction. Personally I find maintaining several different social networks are very difficult. Investing limited time in different places weakens the experience and even changes your brain. ironically I was a listening to a neural scientist yesterday on Radio 4 that said , (and I paraphrase), our new fast and fleeting world of quick face book texting, email and the quantity of distractions is damaging our neural pathways. He said that people generally find it difficult to concentrate in the depth due to distractions and the quality of concentration is improved with no distractions from email, text, ect!
Anyway I digress, but the point I want to make is that anything that you really engage in, in depth offers bigger physiological rewards; it pushes you further and enriches your life.
Oh, just for an experiment I posted a new shot to this new site first to see how I felt about it. I personally will keep only one social network, but I will stay with the one that offers the deepest and best engagement with the people that I respect and find inspiration in their work. Where that will be in the future time will tell.
