Davey Towers Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hiya from Durham, England. My name is Davey and I am a 56 year old who has been photographing on and off for 30 years. It's only in the last couple of years since I became single again that I've decided to take it to new horizons. My interests lean towards macro and wildlife imagery. I take my dog, Max, out every day around the wonderful countryside surrounding Durham City, so my camera is always in my bag as you never know just whats round the corner! Regards to everyone, happy new year, Davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome Davey, I live just a few miles downstream in Fatfield, so perhaps we could meet up sometime.Perhaps I could also interest you in making a contribution to the local TOGs scaffold fund, which sponsors the erection of disfiguring scaffold around the exterior of the cathedral whenever rival shooters from outside the region visit the city? You've got some nice looking images, but selling here is hard. Don't be discouraged if you fail to see sales before you have considerably increased the size of your portfolio.

I like that idea Bryan! It could catch on elsewhere. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bryan, nice to know. From what I've heard.... the top quarter of the cathedral tower has to be taken down sometime soon, due to erosion. Cost of about £10m!!! Scaffolding up there for years to come which is a bugger as I have a view of it from my living room window!!!! Regards Davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TokyoM1ke Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Welcome Davey. One general question re keywords - ANYONE? I notice that Davey has used underline characters in his keywords - I thought you just left spaces e.g. to include "green peas" in your keywords you would use "pods,green peas,veg,etc." or can you use "pods,green_peas,veg,etc." as per Davey's keywords? I know this is not strictly for this forum. [Edit] Meant to say, love the pics. [Another edit] "pigs in blankets" search does not show your image Davey... but "pigs in blanket" does so maybe I am totally wrong to worry about the above.

spacecadet Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 You will find as you go along that you can often batch keyword. You can certainly do it with attributes in Manage Images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
