Good news bad news.
If only I could do the one thing none of us can do…go back in time. Sigh!
Not only with the fire on my pc did I lose lots of pictures and other things, I just realised many of the fantastic older pictures I did manage to save were useless, because I made that classic beginner mistake when I first took them.
That is, I re-sized the damn things for better use online, nothing wrong with that unless you do what I did…re-sized it then saved it, instead of saving a copy!
I must have cottoned on the second time I re-sized any pictures as I started saving as copies.
Shame I re-sized nearly 300 on that first effort!
/ DOH!
Many like the one here are too small for big prints really, (maybe postcards) which is a shame as I have now quite a bit of interest and a few buyers for pictures in print.
Well that was the bad news lol…
The good…
Just means I will have to go out and reshoot some more eh. ;o)
I have had enough interest to start taking it seriously along with my blog here it is one thing I want to be doing. With that in mind I set up a new picture gallery blog which is still a work in progress, I will getting that finished this week then regularly add new pictures to it.
There are lots of pictures, some of which I will add to this gallery, you can already see on my shared picture album which is visible here.
Any thoughts on the new gallery blog?

what is that a picture of Rob? It looks really old.
Hiya Cathy,
It’s one of the two old windmills we have here on Portland.
Both are unused and this is the better conditioned one of the two.
Yeah, pretty old these are.
I will get some more pictures of these as they look great.
Rob
