A Huge Backlog but also some good news!

Sat Nov 14, 2009, 8:17 AM


Right, i've been posting quite a few photos recently, but to put this into perspective, lemme just list how many i've got that may still go up:

London Zoo - 793 Photos, probably about 1 or 2 left to put up
Warnham Nature Reserve - 620 Photos, at least 10 to put up still
The Biz (commercial) - 269 Photos, about 5 to put up
Farthing Downs - 296 Photos, about 15 to put up

+ various wallpaper packs, probably about 5 of them

These are estimates, and i've yet to edit a lot of these photos.

But there is some very good news! I've met a lovely girl called Alexia, and as soon as she lets me point my camera at her and she's satisfied with the results, I should have a beautiful portrait to upload as well.

deviantID

I'm a Music and Sound Recording student who prides himself on knowing the engineering and signal processing side to photography.

I'm not convinced its purely subjective factors that create good images such as composition and originality. My stance is that knowing the technical side behind imaging leads towards creative photography as you need to know how to capture a certain style before you can do it. Thats how I do it with music, and that got me on a world leading music and sound recording course, so why should other art forms be different?

Oh, and don't buy me a premium membership. I don't "need" it as deviantART says.
