I spent the entire day editing photos.
My joy and love for photography has definitely waned over the last year or so. I continue to offer my services for free. The Progress Association, Burrum Heads Newsletter, Village Voices, Volunteer Fire Brigade, Amateur Fishing Club, SES, ANZAC parades, the town Christmas party, local fund raising activities, birthday parties etc etc.
These things take a minimum one hour of my time, sometimes four or five hours, just to take the photos. These could mean very early mornings or very late nights.
Then comes the editing. Six hours today and I probably still have another two or three hours of editing left to do.
So before the recipient even sees these particular photos, from one of the shoots, you get a sneak peak.
I took so many photos of the grandkids all doing crazy things. They were a lot of fun. It was requested that I walk around the party and take candid shots as well.
There were a LOT of people gathered in the barbecue area, around the pool, in the large shed and inside the house, but the lighting (bright fluorescent yellow tube lights) was absolutely dreadful everywhere except in the shed, so I've had to do some really heavy editing to make them look even halfway respectable.
Anyway, that was my wasted Sunday, while Adoring Husband wandered around town with the SES selling Christmas cakes.
My brain is very tired, so I'm off to bed now, to be ready for more editing tomorrow.
Nite all
