The Discerning Photographer

After Andrew introduced the forums and the first "rush" of posts hit the shelf, it got a bit quiet here. From my point of view I find it some sort of normal. To be honest, my motivation in photography went down quite a bit, which was partly because I had a lot to do and on my mind as well as it's not my only activity beside working. At the moment I am quite aggressively pushing my fitness with running and climbing. I am very happy with the state I am and my last weekend got me again into photography while ice climbing. It was very exiting to try to get good images. A couple of them have already been published on flickr and elsewhere (G+, if you are interested, btw) and a couple of more are to come.

Saying that, I have still not sorted all my images from Svalbard. I guess, I just should start to do it and do not complain. Thinking of that, I am convinced that taking the time to look at your images is of similar value that shooting all the time. I learnt that shooting too many images just makes me some sort of nervous, it's just too much! And that would be a good reason to change back to film. Well, I will not do that. A good approach to judge your own images is worthwhile to relax yourself and free yourself up.

These are just some thoughts.

You good crowd all take care, Bernd

Thanks for your feedback and the encouragement to post images on flickr as well as using this forum to get feedback, comments and/or critique, Andrew. It's usefull, most probably more usefull than in bigger communities. And as the monthly flicker critique shows, there are numerous talented photographers participating, which I believer are able to provide fruitfull feedback.
