I am really bad at blogging!

I just can't believe how this year has flown! I have not touched my blog in a couple of months! I feel like I have to introduce myself all over again....
Well, people make new year resolutions all the time, and mine is to blog at least 3 times a month.....easy!

I have just been so busy taking photos....editing,editing and yes you guessed it ......more editing....

I have learned so much from other photographers and blogs this year! This was my biggest goal. I thought I would list a few sites for my photographic friends....just maybe there is one you missed..learning from others is just so much fun and worth it!

I can really recommend Fast Forward and their wedding short courses. Visit their site at www.fastforward.co.za.
Christine Meintjies is just one of my Idols and you can visit her site at www.christinemeintjies.co.za. She has some great tips for photographers and if you already know her work, you will know how inspirirational her photos are! LOVE IT!!!! There is also quite a few Lightroom presets worth downloading. I received regular blogs from Eric Uys and assisted him a few times! Visit his site for inspiration at www.ericuys.com and subscribe to receive his latest work.
An excellent blog to belong to is Elizabeth Halford Photography, www.elizabethhalford.com. I joined the BIG social network, Facebook. It is the easiest way to meet up with tons of photographers and potential clients. Met some awesome people through facebook. I am friends with SA Camera and Orms. Really great advice and tips (all free)!
I joined the Durbanville photography club a couple of months ago, and although it is mostly beginners, I really enjoy the guest speakers. We meet up every first Monday of a month. You are welcome to mail me if you need more information on this.

One important thing I have learned this year, is to learn from failure...it takes character to admit failure, learn and move on. Don't be too hard on yourself, people's taste and opinions differ on what is considered a good shot. Build and create your own style you can be comfortable with.

Next blog....more photos!

Happy shooting!
