Despite being hectic yesterday I had half an hour at a village whilst waiting on my son doing his scrambling, this is not really a beach as such but it's great for interesting bits of crockery and rusty bits being washed up so I always like to go there a browse.
Thank you so much for all the lovely comments and favs for Friday's shot - I was really unsure about it and the response gave me such a confidence boost. I'll be using that as part of my college course as I've chosen experimental photography.
Ingrid, don't I remember reading, way back, that you were at college or Uni or something, doing something photography related, but some years ago? This new course isn't related to that is it?
@sheilag Thank you Sheila, total cheat as it's the drama setting on snapseed that does that to the sky! @vase Thank you Carla, it's a natural kind of cove but just stones and seaweed @adamj Thank you Adam! The phone chooses the dof unfortunately, might have some of this on film though- I get to pick then! @rikshore Thank you Rik, I like clouds and curvy walls! @lindseying Thank you Lindsey, it is a curvy wall! @Cheesebiscuit You're completely right - I did the first year of a photography degree in Edinburgh but missed Orkney so much. Always wanted to get back to college and we have a campus here now that does an art degree. I'm doing the portfolio course p/t as my job is full-time. The modules I took are mixed media, printmaking and photography. To be honest I struggle to keep up with my life so not sure whether I'll continue next year. Maybe I should wait until my children are a bit older.
Well remembered though!
@amyspada Thank you Amy, I was right up against it
@sheilag Nice one Sheila, there's loads on there and it works by sliders on the screen. I found it a bit tricky to start but once you get into it - fun!!
@gwhit123 Thank you George - it's a portfolio in art -p/t - I still work full-time but the course has covered printmaking, mixed media and for the past 4 weeks Photography!! So I've kept up with that module but to be fair I think I took on too much !
