There's nothing more fun than playing with the sun whilst taking photos!!! Some times... it's just finding the right light and your photo sings!

Anyway... after getting my 2 photos on flickr explore I have decided to take my photography more seriously and I have emailed a couple of awesome wedding photographers who are based in Tokyo who speak English to ask them if I could be their junior... I want to be able learn the trade and what the pros at work... I think I can learn alot that way! So fingers crossed :-D

Flickr Explore

Well I am 100% thrilled to say I have been on Flickr Explore twice this week!!!!

Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you "some of the most awesome photos on Flickr."

Around 5000 photos are uploaded per min on flickr and Explore chooses only 500 EXPLORE photos per day! My photo below got to number 53 on the day of upload and the photo aboce is currently at 279 125 83 (it keeps moving up!!)!!!

Honestly - couldn't be happier!!! Thank you Flickr and Merry Xmas!!!!

I have decided that I will be using this blog for lots of different things:

• Official Website and Blog of Photography By Vicki
• My Photography (obviously) - Portrait work, Landscape, nature... etc.
• My Editing - Before and Afters
• Information about what I'm up to
• What Inspires me... maybe it will inspire you too.

So due to my brother being stuck in England because of the snow... I decided to to think positively about it, and appreciate the beauty of the snow... now I want to go somewhere with snow and do a snow shoot! hehe!
