The Shiba's photostream  

Sometime picture taker. Always learning.



Now the important part so we know where we stand.

Please feel free to comment on my images so I can learn what is going well or where I could improve.

Contacts.

Please be aware I do not post regularly; often 1 image every couple of days or so. This is so you do not get bored and I don't swamp your photostream. Sometimes this may be more and the gap will be longer. This means I will drop out of your immediate memory and you will need to keep a quick eye on my photostream in case you miss something.

Other times I will add a couple of images at a time on one day - please just be aware this will happen or you may miss them.

So, having read the above, you chose to add me as a contact.
In which case, firstly take a breath and consider this.

I will study your images and comment on them. Just a few words or a suposedly funny comment means that "its a good image that is most likely beyond my level of critique.

If you simply receive a 'dot' that is my way of letting you know I have viewed your image but have no useful comment to make. I have simply enjoyed viewing your image.

However if there is something in the image that I do not find pleasing TO ME then I will comment on your image " as if I had taken it and this is what I would do if it's my image"
Of course it's not, it's yours, so please do not be offended.

If I chose to add you as a contact it's most likely because I perceive your skill level is greater than mine and I will look and learn. I will provide comments as I think appropriate in order to strike up a dialogue. You do not have to respond.
But of course like most people I appreciate a reciprocal comment..

If you comment and become a regular contributor to my images, you will be come to me, a valued contact. Should you continue as a valued contributor I will upgrade you to the status of a "friend". You will know that if you are allowed to see certain images.

I have great expectations from "friends".

Favourites - it's simple your image has to pass one of two tests " the would I hang it on my lounge wall" or " I've got so much to learn from this".

The choice is yours I am trying to be total honest with you.
