Bags with your photo on it
I spend a lot of time scouring the web looking at different photo sites – not just sites where photographers have shared their photos, but places where you can do something with your photos. Enter Artscow.com which is a relatively new discovery for me. I’ve fallen in love with their shoulder bag products and the…

Great use of a fisheye lens
I hang around various forums online. Not all are photography forums, some relate to my work as a Virtual Assistant and others relate to things of interest, and in this case, mountain biking. Regular readers will know that my husband is a mountain biker but currently not participating in events as he’s recovering from a…
A visit to my new site
I’ve been spending evenings working on my new site at Smugmug. So far there are over 130 images uploaded and I plan to add more.

These have been split into categories: Birdlife, Landscapes, Waterscapes, Trains, Flora and then…

Thank you for your email. At this time, Lulu is not removing this option. However, It is only through customer feedback…
Wrong answer Lulu.com
Many saw my post last week about using other people’s photos when using Print on Demand services. I got comments via my blog as well as at Facebook, Twitter and photography forums I belong to. I had queried Lulu.com and they’ve sent back an answer. In the meantime I’ve discovered other photobook printing services also…
Using other people's photos
I received during the week, a lovely letter from a man who had visited my photography exhibition. He would have seen it in the local paper. He was the same man I took photos of some baby Tawny Frogmouths for late last year when the family was in his garden. He was thrilled to see…
Photography Glossary
I mentioned Australian Photography Magazine a couple of weeks ago. They have launched a new website AustralianPhotography.com with competitions, events, exhibitions and lots of other things listed. On it is a very useful glossary on photography that I thought you might find useful. It also mentions some famous photographers, both present and in the past. …
