Ed Rooney Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 As totally sick of the empty streets here in Liverpool City Centre as I am, I think I may be producing more images. Subjects? Edo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Less... even though spring is my favourite season for shooting pix. Busy writing, though, which helps to make the lockdown feel more 'normal'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve F Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Hey Ed, Don't ask me how, but I somehow managed to end up with my wife and child in Austria and me back in the UK due to Coronavirus #megafacepalm! So apart from working at home, I actually find myself with lots of free time relatively speaking and apart from guitar, I'm doing a lot of photography. I just randomly discovered a PDF from the local council of all the public art in Basingstoke so I've been making may way round town when the weather's good. And it has been very good during lockdown, kind of rubbing it in our faces! Otherwise, doing some found photography.... Had a go at panoramas for the first time: Found photography (kind of!)

John Mitchell Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Less, unfortunately. My motivation curve seems to have flattened. 😕😐 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanderingemu Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 less. i'm sheltered in residential east end of Montreal, so not many story, it has been extremely cold spring so far, buds are just coming out on trees... and there is a limit to rainbow images.... finally got my first out of ordinary happening last day with this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb photos Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'm certainly shooting less, as I usually photographed in London, March 7th was the last time. I had caught a train into town and travelled on the tube, there were passengers coughing without covering their mouths and the tube was packed solid. Soon after it would have been too risky for me. Currently I've a backlog of images to caption, tag and upload, all shot on exercise walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Actually, the new COVID-19 world has put me in something of an existential quandary. I feel that I'm going to have to totally reassess what I've been doing photographically. Not sure where to go from here...

Michael Ventura Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Definitely shooting less but that is because I shoot a fair amount for regional magazines and businesses and that has all but dried up. I do have a few shoots coming thru but nothing like my old schedule. I am shooting some stock but not more than I have usually done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, due to the size of Australia, it means that I could be travelling around forever and still see new places, but as far as future international travels is concerned, a have a horrible feeling that more than one destination on my bucket list will just remain there, on my dream list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be a Quebec thing yeah, it's a nice wooden area behind Hopital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, so core Montreal east -end. At least 3 spots where people have done fires to hang out and drink beer. probably worse this year (though my sister it was still an issue last year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life could be challenging for you nomads for quite some time, at least until there is an effective vaccine available (assuming that there will be one). We're lucky in countries like Canada and Australia. We have small populations and good healthcare systems, so the chances that everyone will eventually get vaccinated are fairly good. Third world countries are another story, though. But I digress as usual. 🙃 Sometimes shooting less is more... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I'm shooting about the same amount but struggling for material with the absence of people out and about and all the shops and malls closed. They've even closed down the beaches here , leaving the place like a ghost town. We still have our street markets but frankly social distancing in those places is impossible and as such they now scare me. And everyone wearing a face mask in what is regarded as The Land of Smiles!

domf Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I was supposed have spent 3 weeks in Portugal and Spain cycling from Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela in April and would have come home with a few thousand photos but all cancelled so have occasionally wandered around my home town of Perth and taking some photos but nowhere near the amount when I go on holidays.
