Getting back into it all
I first opened my Flickr account way back in 2004. I only joined so that I could use it as a place to upload pictures to my blog. At that time you could not directly upload images into blogger and so I would upload to Flickr, get the code and paste into my posts. It was not until a while after I was using Flickr that I started to realise there was fun to be had looking at everyone else’s images, commenting and (most fun of all) joining groups and setting them up. Then started my OBSESSION with photographing my life and putting stuff up online.
However, I could not continue at that same rate forever and so I have gradually wound down so that last year I hardly used Flickr at all. This last couple of weeks, with more time on my hands, I am now uploading again and really enjoying it. It helps that TT bought me a fabulous new camera for my birthday – a Canon Powershot G11.
Much more portable than my SLR, but it still works so well – really versatile and can cope with some challenging macro stuff as well as handling night shots:
I feel like I am getting back in touch with the real me now that I am walking around with a camera again!
