No front cover glory for me though...

My camera club put out a general call for images of the Surrey countryside for consideration in Surrey Life magazine in an article about the upcoming Surrey Photographic Association exhibition in Guildford.

I managed to get two landscape shots in the feature, and the club managed 5 altogether out of the 8 shots that were included. They do look rather cracking in print I have to say. I'm jolly pleased

Here's the two of mine that went in...you've maybe seen them before on here...

#1 Foggy view (note they are birds not sensor dust )

#2 Nice church.

Hooopla!

Well done Tobers. First one is a cracking shot. :-)

Nice ones well done
Looks like we are in the company of greatness on this forum

The light on that church is just to die for isn't it.

Well done, it appears

[Paulie-W]

Love the first one. With so much publication i think we might need one of these to be added to the smiley list

[Holowlegs]

Two very nice shots Andy, very well done.


Cheers Holo

Both very worthy shots Tobers. Congrats.

I got my first DSLR (Canon 350D) only about 2 years ago. Whilst I do fiddle about on other forums, this one is the one that keeps triggering inspiration, gets me to try new things, experimentation etc, and the general friendliness helps considerably. I'd have never dreamt that I'd have my pics in magazines, win competitions, be on Getty, be selling microstock, and so on.

I've been lucky enough to be able to feed my gadget habit, but I've also found that I've learnt so much from you lot, from many techniques to take pictures through to post processing, printing and online galleries. I've also seen other people developing and building their skill and that is a joy to see.

Still lots to learn, but I love it.

Really worthy stuff, well done

Nice to know that your work is liked elsewhere too
One of 2 of us here thinks the "encouragement" is so positive its stifling progress and not "harsh enough!
If we have enough of these external recognition efforts ?I might just put them in one ( hopefully) inspiring thread

[SweetGirl]

Well done Mr Tobers....

Very nice photos, especially like the first one...

[Liquid101]

Cracking shots. It'll soon be time to give up the day job

[electrolyte]

Yes, well done Andrew, cracking shots both of them.

[Radiohead]

I always liked that second shot - lovely light.

[weaviemx5]

Nice one Tobers well deserved. I really like the 2nd shot particularly

I definitely agree with your comments above about this forum feeding potential by sharing ideas/suggestions. I only got my first DSLR last June yet have just got home from a proper () gallery exhibiting 3 of my photos. It's a real buzz standing by your images and listening to other peoples' comments (so long as they're good anyway!)

Cheers
