No doubt that's true Gayle. Your shots of that stately old bird are truly inspired. I feel the same way from time to time and believe it shows in my work.
I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to comment on my images - those who liked them and also those thoughtful enough to offer constructive criticism. I've already removed one image for lack of interrest and plan to replace another because it isn't up to the quality that we've come to expect in these challenges. I hope to have something better to take its place before the bell rings.
Regards,
Jeff Hall aka Frey

--...cos it's Saturday morning, I am at work on my own, bored and
finding ways of making the time fly by til mid-day when my weekend
begins!
I am absolutely over the moon with the comments both my eligible
entries have recieved. Thank you all very much!
For some challenges, I struggle to find a suitable subject and when
I do, it's often an unwilling, impatient model, or a lacklustre
subject that I have to find ways of making it look creative......or
the ideas just don't flow like they should.
With this challenge, I found a subject that interested me, was
invited to take a closer look, and fell in love with this wonderful
old plane. While I was framing and composing shots, my husband (who
knows more about old planes than anyone I know) was ooooh-ing and
aaaaah-ing at the construction, and commenting on how different the
DC-3 is from modern planes. And he was enjoying himself immensely,
as was I. And it seems to have transferred itself to my
photography.....because I was having such a good time, I seem to
have come up with better photos.
Does anyone else find that? If your subject is
boring/bored/unexciting and your heart isn't in it, it shows in the
end result......and yet if your emotions are stirred and you take a
real interest in your subject, you raise your own personal bar.
