My Photography...

Still learning...still aspiring...and still loving every minute of my photographic journey...I just find that I am becoming more and more self-critical the more I learn.

You will see from my 'stream that I don't have any (particular) style...I like all kinds of photography from street, landscape and abstract to black and white (particularly black and white), fine art and wildlife, and enjoy admiring photographs as much as I like taking and tinkering with them.

I do try to consider and compose most shots I am taking but some are admittedly just snapshots of things that make me smile or just a bit of fun (and some of my favourite shots are entirely accidental).

I hope that through time you will start to see a gradual improvement in my photography.



Introducing my wonderful wife...

07/01/2010: I introduce to you all my wonderful wife, Shirl, who has finally taken the plunge to join Flickr. Please feel free to drop by her photostream, (I begrudgingly admit that she has a far better eye for a good photo than I do).


(CURRENT) WISHLIST...

(i) 35mm f1.8
(ii) Macro Lens (60mm or 105mm)
(iii) Fisheye
18-200mm (for versatility)
B&W ND110
Tokina 11-16 f2.8 wide angle lens.
Tripod
Cable release

This will inevitably change with time...but there will probably always be something on there.
(17/05/11: My wishlist has gone out of the window now that Floyd has joined the sAg household.)

26/10/11: I received my very first testimonial today (although I didn't know it was there until 05/11/11 - Doh!) from Maxblackphotos. I can't tell you how made up I am - Huge thanks David. :-)

23/05/11: I was approached by 5 Plus Architects a couple of months ago about them using some of my images of The Hive and Chancery Place in Manchester. Some now appear on their website.

05/11/10: The first photo of mine to break through the 1,000 views landmark was again Lafayette, currently standing at 1,147 views...

26/10/10: The Front Page prompted record viewings - first time I breached 1,000 in a day, (1,234 to be precise).

26/10/10: Yayy...my first Explore Front Page was Lafayette. :-)

11/09/10: Had a spring clean and said goodbye to approx 150 shots from my stream...was quite a painful but necessary exercise.

05/06/10: 40,000+ views breached today.... :-)

23/04/10: Archidose seems to have carried its influence on to the next day; today I had a record 683 views on my stream; 211 of which where for Warm Front, another daily record. I know these stats are distorted, ( and minuscule compared to some other peoples), but they are well above my usual figures. :-)

22/04/10: Strange day on the Flickr Stats front...viewings seem to have gone through the roof today, relatively speaking. A record 599 viewings in total for the day. The culprit would appear to be this photo which found its way on the Archidose blog front page...thanks whoever you may be!! :-)

20/04/10: "Mr sAg In Print", my photo book from Blurb, finally arrived today...in print at last...and I'm made up with it!! :-)

28/01/10: The first shot of mine to attract more than 300 viewings, more than 40 faves and more than 40 comments was Shrouded. Each of these little milestones was breached today...yay! I'm thrilled to bits with the response to this shot...thanks all!! :-)

27/01/10: Day 26 of my 365 was my last...I don't feel it's a good thing for my photography and it does demand a lot of time. Ahh well...nothing ventured and all that... :-(
