First pix with the new 500mm F4 lens but it was a poor afternoon at Titchfield Haven's reserve as the Avocets left two days before for their winter quarters in Poole Harbour. These Terns were only birds near enough to get a photo. I am off to Ireland on 3 week holiday and hope to start a new blog on the 500mm lens when I return. Thanks also Eric I see the silly price on that pix but no sign of it selling! Attachment: Terns1916.jpg (Downloaded 73 times)

Very nice image. Looks good. These Nikon fast telephotos really do yield sharp images when correctly focussed.

Todays up load is an old D300 image. I try to keep interest going by adding at least one a month. Plenty look but still no sales, just too many photographers after a limited market. Perhaps my work is too old fashioned? Some of the images that are (to me very Bad) sell well even with way over the top prices. It's not pricing as I have tried going up and down with no added interest. It cost me nothing to be there so for now I will hang on in...... Attachment: SeaPower.jpg (Downloaded 54 times)

Sadly, I suspect that many people today don't see, or appreciate, the difference between a correctly exposed, creatively framed photo and a snapshot taken of the same subject...and they are less likely to pay for either. We now exist in an 'it will do' world. Immediacy has replaced quality as the prime objective. I also suspect the global shopping world has simply increased the choice. It is undoubtably a buyers market. The general public are a fickle bunch...they invariably want something for nothing or lowest cost possible and are often prepared to take second best if the price is significantly cheaper than the best products. In fairness, we all like to get a bargain ( especially Yorkshiremen) and so it's no surprise that it's harder to sell these days. I learnt at an early stage, in my photo manipulation period, that the general public think 'computers make things easy to do' ....and that means it's 'cheaper'. So despite being able to restore, enhance, adapt, manipulate photos in ways that were unheard of a year before I started back in 1993, my customers were already recoiling at the hourly rate I needed to charge. I very quickly stopped all general public work and dedicated my photography and design services exclusively to commercial customers. For this reason I have not sold a single picture outright since last century. And don't expect to do so this one either.

I think that is very fair and accurate comment Eric.

Thanks, all good comments I agree 100%. It was worth a try, in the mean time I am enjoying my photography and being an active member of my local camera club. Still make good use of my Nikons!
