1000 Photos! (plus some more)

Guess what? Yep its another photography post! Heh.
I have had a digital camera for nearly a year now, my first ever proper camera. I only had shitty disposable ones before that. I have to blame the blogging somewhat for my photography obsession, seeing such great photographs all over blog world just made me want to take more photographs and not just shit ones.
I love taking the camera with me hiking and then being able to share the landscape with you, whether you like it or not. Its a photographic memory collection for me and proof that the blood, sweat and tears involved in hiking is worth it.
What you wont find are many photographs of me, I absofookinlutely hate having my photo took, with a passion. The only photos that are about of me, are ones that I have took of myself. Its something I am getting over. Its somewhat amusing, considering how much I actually like taking photographs.
There are now 1000 photos on my flickr account and that is nowhere near how many photos I have actually took. Well actually by the time I have finished this post there will be more than 1000, as I have just uploaded some more.

  6. Another fantastic photo, Claire. I went over and checked some of the others out. Such beautiful landscape. I also like the one where the sun looks like a big fireball in the sky. Bet you have a great time hiking getting to see that kind of beauty.

    I can't believe you have 1000 pics on flicker. Course I noticed that some of those are those brilliant doodles you are known for. :)

    Thanks!

  9. Well, now that I know someone with over 1000 photos on Flickr, I am going to go upload crazy.

    I have always been paranoid about uploading too many pictures - don't ask me why.

    Enough about me now, and onto you....

    I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

    Thanks for your encourageing words - I was my naughtiest at 14 too. I was WAY better at tricking my parents than Brat is though, so I'm counting my blessings for the time being!

    @.45, you scare me when you are nice.

    @DiamondDigger, Aww thanks for that, I loved the sun ones too :)

    and yes some are my doodles, but mostly photos! heh.

    @Aerten, I love compliments from artists! Especially one like yourself. Yes upload more stuff to flickr I love having a nosy at other peoples stuff.

    @Crazy/Tisha, You always say the nicest things :)

    @Monique I love the photos you have up there already, so would love to see more. I have no restraint when it comes to putting them up on flickr although a lot are crappy.

    and Thank You!

    @Stine, cheers! you really should check flickr out and I am looking forward to more pictures from you.

    The brat got off lightly and is lucky to have parents like you and the hubby.

  13. @Roger, Cheers and I think you should definitely have a flickr account. You must have tons of photos that don't make it onto the blog?

    :)

  15. I like this one, too. It makes me want to pull out a blanket, lie down, and...

  16. I too have a deep love of photography and have spent insane amounts of money on photo equipment. Sadly I suck at it and if it wasn't for the automatic settings my pictures would seldomly turn out.... as I said before, "Grace" sums me up nicely. I love your pics. Altho they do not make ME want to chase milkmaids.... probably a good thing, huh??

  18. I love your hiking photos, too -- never disappointed when I come to your blog and find one.

    The one above is really excellent. Your photos just keep getting better, and better, and better.

  19. @relax max, your politeness is beginning to freak me out a little.

    @Jillian, I was sat down at the time I took this photo, not on a blanket as I had waterproof pants on. Remind me not to go hiking with you, I cant imagine how you would be able to restrain yourself if I got my thermos flask out! :)

    @Petra, I got this camera off ebay and mostly use auto settings. So really its the camera that is doing everything :) You dont want to chase milkmaids? not even a little bit?

    @jinghui, Do it! and take lots of photos :)

  23. Fourth Time's the charm. Your comment site keeps spitting me out as undigestable.

    Does this mean that you have spared yourself one million words since you have a thousand pictures?

  24. You do take some very lovely pictures. Can't wait to see what you add to your collection in September!

  25. YOU ARE A VERY NAUGHTY GIRL CLAIRE!!! If you don't do the tag...Willie might not be so "innocent" after I leave!

  26. @Jamie, sorry its been such a pain for you to comment :(
    Would that be a good excuse for being an awful blog friend? :)

    @Linda, I cant wait for that either! Dont worry if I go missing I will probably be taking photographs, probably :)

    @Olga, oh that scared me a bit!
