Summer Travels -I

This summer I had the opportunity to travel to Hungary and Austria!
Here are just a few photos from our day in Budapest.

Long time-No See!

Wow! I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted! Sorry. I guess I've been busy. I am currently working on photos from my mission trip to Hungary. I takes a while to go through over a thousand photos. Once those are done and I get some of them posted, I have even more photos from Austria! I haven't even uploaded them to the computer yet. Anyway, I'm working on it.

Stock Photography

My latest adventure in photography involves submitting photos to a stock photography site. This has been another learning experience.  I recently read an article written by a man that makes quite a bit of money selling photos this way. He said that he often submits 20 or 30 photos and only a few of these are accepted. He also said in the article that, in time, you learn what the company is looking for and begin to get more and more of your work accepted.  So, I finally took the plunge, not realizing how much time it would take! Each photo has to have at least 10 descriptive key words. Sometimes that is a real challenge! It's also a challenge to find a photo that they don't already have. I submitted four photos the first time. They were all rejected and I was a bit dismayed, but I tried again. This time, I submitted 10 photos! ONE, count 'em, ONE was accepted! Hey! That means there's hope!! I have since spent some time looking at the photos they have available already. Maybe that will help me in selecting photos for future submission. No matter what....I LOVE taking photos!

Clouds at Sunset Collection

This is a collection that I have started. I'm calling it "Clouds at Sunset".
I just love to see and try to capture the beautiful ways God paints the sky
with light!

Winter Beauty

Here are a few photos from our February Snow.
I think the first one is my favorite...or maybe the barn...
I'm not sure. What do you think?

Winter Blahs

Wow! I haven't posted in quite a while. I am finding that winter is just too BLAH.I have found very little that I want to photograph. I will have a bit of free time this weekend, so maybe we can get a few recent photos posted.  But, I am looking forward to the spring and summer, especially summer. My husband and I are both going on a mission trip to Hungary and then plan to stay an extra week to tour Vienna and Salzburg, Austria and Venice, Italy. That should bring a host of beautiful photos!
