to master two sets of extension tubes on an inverted 50mm macro, have invested in a macro rail and discoverd how everything and I mean everything vibrates at this sort of scale.......this may be harder than water drops..Also have been playing far too much Dragon Age and kinda forgot i owned a camera

Removed all prints from sale and left all my groups as I had stopped submitting my work to group’s months ago. The reason I have done this is complicated but basically boils down to the fact that I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to the work I produce and just can’t be bothered with trying to promote it anymore! For me the act of producing something and putting it out there in the digital eaither is enough. In a world where I only started to submit to DA to get my wife off of my back about showing my work to people, posting to my wall is all I require to feel I’ve completed the process. After all most of the stuff I produce is more driven by curiosity to how it’s done or more often "can I do that??”  To quote someone cleverer than I "You can teach techincal ability but you have a sense of composition or you don’t" I’m paraphrasing but you get the jist and I feel I fall into the second category, please don’t mistake this for self-depreciation it isn’t.. What it is, is me trying to get back to having fun with my camera again regardless of the results I get, after all rather selfishly I do this for me not for anyone else.

                Photography for me is ME time, I work full time have a rambunctious ten year old and a spouse in a wheel chair, so as you can imagine time to play is a very precious commodity.

So to quote the opening track from “music for the jilted generation” I’ve decided to take my work back underground lol , I’m probably going to be a lot less prolific than I have been, but hopefully I’ll be trying some new stuff too.

Please feel free to comment below on why you contribute or use DA, I am genuinely interested to know what motivates YOU my fellow deviants into contributing to the community, whether it be to seek inspiration or try and carve a little niche out for yourself or do you just revel in the company of creative types?? Please do tell…

to use light room and generally not knowing what to do with my self has been the theme of the last few weeks. So I’m sat there a few days back, little set built, lights set up and utterly failing to capture what I want to capture and it occurs to me I’ve gone full circle. Not in so much that I’m now an amazing photographer ( plainly I’m not) but in my thought process and intent has gone through a complete vault fas, I started taking pics as a reference for mods and maps for pc games and to use as textures, you could say I deliberately took photos to manipulate. But these days it occurs to me that I now make images that would be a lot easier to produce if I used digital manipulation and steadfastly refuse too, go figure! Also I learned you can’t stick a small man to a snail with any great success!!!
On that note I’ll leave you with a quick snap shot of an ongoing project. Also if you get the chance check out this guy’s still life photos, makes my recent stabs at the genera pitiful jon-wild.deviantart.comUntitled by cybertaff
