Lost the love of photography
Ive done very little photography for so long that I was considering selling my kit. I took some photos for the insurance on the cooper S a few weeks back but to be honest camera phones are sufficient these days and literally not used the car for a year. I was asked on Thursday to take some photos of a 1964 MGB roadster that is up for sale at work so I charged the camera’s battery. I believe it was exported to California and brought back to the UK around 10 years ago where it was rebuilt around a new heritage shell. The car has, I think, covered around 1,000 miles since it’s rebuild and is stunning. Once edited I will upload one or two photos. Have I got the photography urge back? Not quite but let’s see how that pans out.....

Totally agree that phones take cracking photo’s but once a photographer then you’ll always be interested. Every hobby or profession falls into that “lost interest phase” but it will always return to bigger and better things.
I’ve been taking photo’s for over 60 years, lost interest once or twice, but the keenness always returns. I’ve just bought another Nikon D5000. Looking forward to your photo’s.

I hope you do Mark.
Camera phones are generally pretty good. Even someone like me can take and edit a decent photo. The difference though when someone like yourself uses proper equipment is like night and day. Keep it up |

Thanks for the comments guys, I’m been looking at a new camera body but that’s not the answer at the moment. I feel the MG shots could of been so much better but it was 10 minutes on the carpark outside of work, it was far too damp to arrange taking it elsewhere which would of made a huge difference.
