Cornfield

A slightly long walk away from the house I found these fields ripe.

Sheep and the lamb

I was out with the long lens one day and captured a few shots of the sheep and their pups who were in a field behind out vet.

First snow

Hello, this is my first proper new photo in ages!! Sorry for being away for so long. Just lack of time, lack of motivation and lack of access to Photoshop CS. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a few more done before my trial runs out in 12 days time.

This was taken in the fields near my house after a we got covered in snow (for the first time in years) in February 2009. We don’t get much snow here so I made the most of it and took lots of pics.

Squashy Frog Photography gets social

I’m sure it’s not gone unnoticed that social media, news and bookmarking is a big ol’ thing nowadays.  And me being someone not wanting to miss out on anything new on the net I’ve naturally joined in with all the fun.  I’ve been slowly building profiles on tonnes of services across the web – some used more than others.  If this interests you then for a complete list of my social media profiles have a read of my page titled, “My Social Media Sites“.

In addition to my individual services I’ve recently started creating profiles for Squashy Frog Photography specifically.  We’ll see how useful or important they come over time but for now I’ve produced a quick rundown of the services I’m using at the moment:

You might have read already that I’ve created FriendFeed Room.  If not then head over to the article “FriendFeed Room for Squashy Frog Photography“.  As for an individual profile, I have created one at:

http://friendfeed.com/squashyfrog

It currently doesn’t show a whole lot but I’m add more as I go and new articles will increase over time.  For the moment, though, I’m concentrating on the SF room.  The profile page is basically a copy of the room anyway, so it’s just down to how you like to take your FriendFeed social news.

As with FriendFeed I used Digg A WHOLE LOT at the moment.  So much so I collect photography-related diggs I’ve dugg on my individual profile and, every few days, log into my SF profile and digg them again.  My profile is here:

http://digg.com/users/squashyfrog

Why a separate profile?  Well I’ve been trying to get my diggs on my blog and RSS feed for a while and not really come up with a decent way of doing it.  So for a little bit of effort on my part I know digg photography articles via my SF profile and set up FeedBurner to feed the diggs into my SF feed.  Having digg set-up for SF and for photography-related articles only means I can add it for places such as FriendFeed, so it’s been very useful.
