N.B The date for this post is set in the future as blogger puts the most recent post to the top of the page and I want this post to remain at the top so I've had to jiggle the date to circumvent this problem.
My other blog Out and About documents some of the locations I've visited since commencing photography mid 2011. A work in retrospect.

I believe that photography, like life, is subjective. It is our life perspective which impacts upon our decisions, our relationships, and our actions. This perspective has been moulded from our life experience, and to a great extent the perspective has become ingrained, either knowingly or unknowingly. This life perspective affects our interpretations of both images and words. This life perspective impacts on the photographic perspectives we choose when composing shots. Or is it all really just about creativity and intuition ?
Are these labels fair, or is it simply a dog versus cat perspective?
6. Get Connected, Join a Community
Photographing in isolation can be great, but having a group of photo lovers handy to point out mistakes you might have missed or offer perspectives you may never have thought of is incredibly useful.As long as you choose who to listen to - many people are technology freaks who dazzle you with numbers and technical jargon that you may find is beyond your current understanding.. Seek out the innovators and the rule breakers if you want to allow creativity to reign.
7. Practise, Practise, Practise!
Ask about practice techniques, research great free educational resources, or engaged photo groups, or life-changing photo tours.
