I locked myself in my studio/office almost all of this week to get some much needed processing/editing done. The last few months have been crazy and exciting and I have loved every minute of it, even if I have taken a lot longer to get things done.
Imagine…
It’s late in the afternoon, I am sitting at my desk with a whole weddings worth of photographs to wander through… I just get started and the phone rings… Yay!! Another wonderful couple wants to meet to dicuss their wedding with me, we chat, I have their date free, so we organise a time to meet. Perfect.
15 minutes later, with a vaguely tingly sort of feeling, I hang up the phone, thinking about how much I love being a Photographer. Now I am back to edting… 27 images later… the phone rings again… Yay !! A family portrait sitting enquiry, 10 minutes later Claire has booked a sitting for 3 weeks time. Perfect.
Again, that same tingly sort of feeling, I sigh, a happy grin on my face as I return to the task of editing… This time I almost find my Mojo as I hit a total of 112 images edited… when the phone rings again… Yay !! Just for something different, its someone from somewhere, wanting me to advertise in their something of some sort… yawn. No thanks.
I check my email and apart from the spam and the usual newsletters and other random stuff, there is an email from a lovely bride, asking if I have the 21th November free. Sigh, unfortunately I don’t, but I can recommend a great photographer if you would like…
By now its almost dinner time, and soon I have to meet with a couple to discuss their Wedding Album design, there’s that tingly sort of feeling again !!
And thats how it has been for months… Day in and day out… And I love every second of it !!
Finally, this afternoon, I got to step out of the office for some time out !! I needed to get outside, I was feeling more than a little caged, and almost a little crabby… (ask my wife, she will tell you!!).
I can assure you that my excuse was valid, I had to pick up 4 print orders from my Lab and drop 2 of them off on the way home, but a detour through Williamstown at sunset couldnt hurt now, could it?
So I had a little drive and a wander around and of course I shot a couple of images… And Yes, I now I feel much better, thanks for asking.
If you are feeling a little crabby, spare a thought for these guys...
After writing this, I see it could almost have been an image of the week post, but them’s the breaks.
And for those that are interested, It was captured by :- Canon 5DmkII & 17-40mm L @ 21mm – ISO 400 – 1/60sec @ f/5.6
Adjusted using my “x-pro strong green” preset in LR2.2
So there you have it. Oh, and please feel free to comment :)
