\"Cat<\/a>

Cat sitting in the sunshine on a grave<\/p><\/div>\n

I usually wait a while, often months, before going through my photos to pick out the good ones.\u00a0 This has a number of disadvantages, particularly when it comes to remembering the names of places, but it does allow me to forget which photos I thought would be good at the time I took them.\u00a0 This is particularly useful as I otherwise have a tendency to not really look at the photos critically, but rather to skim through them looking for the one that I thought would work.<\/p>\n

I’ve started working through 2008’s collection now, and having made it to September I’ve rediscovered a number of nice shots.\u00a0 The one attached to this post to my eye works really well, but at the time I was discounting it (and a few others like it) as not being ideal because I could not find a way to get the cat to look at the camera.\u00a0 Now that I can see the results I’m glad that the picture has turned out this way.\u00a0 It feels a much more natural shot than it would otherwise be.<\/p>\n

There are still another 760 or so photos to go through before I’ve cleared the backlog.\u00a0 I really do need to catch up as I’ve already skipped ahead a number of occasions, making it easy to forget which photos I’ve been through and which still need sorting.\u00a0 I could start marking them to keep track I suppose, but then I’d have greater excuse to postpone going through them properly.<\/p>\n

About a year ago my small camera bag developed a broken zip, which has resulted in me having to use my backpack for carrying the camera around.\u00a0 This made carrying the camera a serious commitment, which resulted in fewer photos being taken.\u00a0 For my birthday I’ve been given a new small camera bag, so I now need to get back into the habit of carrying my camera with me again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
