So I'm not a big fan of the social platform that now rules our lives that is facebook, but I do know however that I am on it daily and update it far more often than I would my website in the potential that more people would see my posts. But when it comes to my photography business it's probably far more beneficial for me to update my website blog and keep that updated instead. With my site provider it's no harder to update my blog as it is my facebook feed but I guess there's no instant feedback with my website which maybe why I find it harder to update it so frequently.
For a little experiment I am going to post over 20 times on my facebook Business page tomorrow to see how much if any attention it gets. Then I will have to try next tuesday maybe to post a load of posts on my website in one day and see if that has any effect. I don't think I would be able to manage 20 posts in one day on my website though however but I will try and share a bunch of stuff and see if any of it gives me a boost in visits etc!
Anyways thought I'd share that with you, I know not all my posts are of great interest so hopefully this will spice me up a bit and make me think outside of the box some more!

So sometimes in my life there is moments I just cant ignore. Like when I was leaving the house a couple of days ago and I almost stepped on a snail! Now I wouldn't normally of given this a second thought but this was a stripey snail obviously in a rush to be somewhere. Well I'm sure he wasn't but hey I thought why don't I grab a couple of photos of him before I head of to the shots. I'm a photographer who always loves an opportunity to practice his craft so I grabbed the camera stuck my 85mm on it and a macro extension tube and fired off a couple of shots. This is the first result.
used to go out lots for sunsets when I first got my camera and now after having my business I find less time to go out there and do it. I mean I know it's still real important to get out there and enjoy my photography but I do a lot of admin in the evenings and it's always hard to tell when your going to get some great light. I was out meeting up with a florist up at Halzephron Inn the other evening and as the light was so awesome I took a little trip up to the Halzephron cliffs after so I could grab a few shots.
Living in Cornwall is always a blessing as a photographer as there is so many locations to take photos. I live near the the bottom end of Cornwall and taking photos is just so easy down here, there is miles of coastline with beaches and loads of locations for portraits. Having two children is such a blessing for me both in the sense that I have two children! and also the fact they are great subjects for progressing my portrait photography skills. You can easily capture great photos of your children too, with a little patience and some imagination.
Every year wherever you are in the country there is probably one of these events. Race for life Penzance was one of these events and I went on down with my wife and two kids to spur them on and watch them race the grueling 5km circuit from Penzance to Newlyn and back. My little 5 year old daughter raced alongside my wife and they both very much enjoyed something so fun for a good cause.
