Jools Elliott Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 And so it seems that many people couldn't fathom out why I work in the way that I do. Decrying that I should take what I'm given and change the way in which I work. The main bulk of my work goes somewhere an editor makes the final choice and not the photographer. That is something a lot of people here don't have experience of and quite frankly should as it would show them they need to up their game...a lot! Being called, in a subversive way, lazy is something I take umbrage about. During my 12 days in England and Wales I managed to capture some scenes that I am happy about. Yes, I am sure that there are some things that could be improved but for what I was given weather wise I am happy. The places won't be going away anytime soon and I can get back if needs must. Was it worth the driving I did chasing the best of the weather? Yes! Corfe Castle under heavy mist Colmer's Hill near Bridport. Could have better skies but the haze was coming The river Dart in Dartmoor. A return trip is needed! Grasmere in the Lake District Reflections on Grasmere. I want this again but with more colour Rydal Water in the Lake District A cliché but I couldn't resist it.

Inchiquin Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 No-one's calling you lazy. No-one's decrying your pictures. Believe it or not, it's not all about you. You asked for suggestions about where to go because you couldn't take the photos you wanted to take. You were given suggestions, along the lines of if you can't shoot what you want, why not shoot what you can? You've got a great set of pics. You chased all over the country to get what you wanted last week. I stayed in one place and got what I found. So what? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchiquin Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Alan, you had your say with what you did on your trip and now I'm having mine! I know that, and very good they are too. I was responding to the accusations contained therein. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Brook Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Well you have certainly hit the jackpot with Snowdon, not to mention Corfe Castle, Jules. Especially pleasant after that acid trip round Iceland. If they are not hanging in pride of place, undertheath the antlers, at Getty Towers very soon, I shall personally write a letter of complaint. And that is a promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Jules - very nice indeed. I particularly liked the ones of Loughrigg Tarn and Llanwrst Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Elliott Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks for all the kind comments people! Hopefully now you will all see what I strive for. I am an utter perfectionist and I have very very clear ideas of what it is that I want out of an image. Many people are forever complaing about the dross that is uploaded onto Alamy and that it is full of weekend warriors. If I just made do then I would be joining those ranks and that is something I am not prepared to do. Everytime I go out the shutter gets pressed less and less because of my intentions. Back in the UK as of Sunday. No idea where I'm going though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyn Llun Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Jules - very nice indeed. I particularly liked the ones of Loughrigg Tarn and Llanwrst Kumar Just for the record - and to help Jules' keywording in case his spelling here is not just a typo - it's spelt Llanrwst. I have a cottage in Snowdonia - about 5 mins drive over that bridge, past the virginia creeper clad cafe and on a bit to the next village. The cottage, like my main home and studio, paid for from the proceeds of photography, exhibitions and print sales. Ain't photography wonderful!?
