I have a bit of an interest in photography,my specialist subjects are macro shots of insects and arachnids,plus wildflowers.
Also shoot urban decay type shots,ruins and derelict buildings,burnt out stolen cars in a fine art style,and the odd industrial wasteland shot. :smile:

I do have a gallery on deviantart if anybody would be interested in looking at it?
http://s-h-a-a-m.deviantart.com/


Enjoyed going through it. I need to grab a thumb drive and load the one of the bumblebee on the wisteria flower from last year.

The dog was too cute. Enjoyed the various insects.

And the horses were a lovely shot, until I read your comments.


Which was?


Basically I take shots of cruelty and mistreatment of animals,and put them on the internet in the hope of making people aware of what goes on?
The horses are unwanted pets,a certain group of people buy them cheaply at an auction,when they have a lorry load they send them off for slaughter for the meat trade. :cry:

beautiful work Andrew!!flowerforyou


Thank you very much! blushing
This one is dedicated to you. flowers

i read the comment below and it was heart breaking :(


Thanks very much! happy
I did actually have a flickr account,abandoned it as I did not like flickr very much to be honest,people on there are not very friendly I found?
There is a bit of sort of good news about the two ponies,they are still alive and I think somebody must have bought them,spotted them in a field today and would recognize those two rascals anywhere! :smile:
They are both very friendly and mischievous,and it would not surprise me if somebody fell in love with them and saved them? happy

I've always liked creating images. I've been shooting photos for over thirty years now. (MAKES ME SOUND OLD!) If you want to get a digital camera I'd be prepared to drop $800 - $1000 on a good one. You'll save a lot just in film and processing. I'd recommend a brand you are familiar with. The transition is easier, plus if you have AF lenses you can usually use them on the digital and save some cash. Just remember the ratio isn't the same, you'll have drop off around the edges, (the image is too big for the ccd)
Hope this helps.
Not sure where to put a pic though blushing

Thanks very much! happy
I did actually have a flickr account,abandoned it as I did not like flickr very much to be honest,people on there are not very friendly I found?
There is a bit of sort of good news about the two ponies,they are still alive and I think somebody must have bought them,spotted them in a field today and would recognize those two rascals anywhere! :smile:
They are both very friendly and mischievous,and it would not surprise me if somebody fell in love with them and saved them? happy


aww..ok :(
well im still new to flickr and im not aware of that..sad to hear.
but good news to the ponies!
yay for them rofl im happy for them :)

That is why I put the shots on there,to try and raise peoples awareness as to the way horses and ponies are treated. sad2
You should see the state some of the poor creatures are in,they have injuries nobody bothers to treat as they are going to be slaughtered anyway,plus they have no water to drink apart from the stagnant water in the ditches if they can get to it? sad2
This country has a lot to be ashamed of with the treatment of animals here. :angry:


Dang, and I thought that was just here in the US. I'm getting hits daily with horses needing help, (just took one in about 3 weeks ago, as a matter of fact, though he wasn't in poor shape, just neglected) and there's been three large rescues within the past 30 days where the local SPCA and Human Society are called in to get the horses out, anywhere from 15-40 horses, starved almost to the point of death with carcasses lying about.

Glad to hear those two are doing alright.

You might find flickr ok and it could just be me? :smile:
I can be slightly outspoken on subjects I feel strongly about,and do have a very strange sense of humour that can be a tiny bit acidic and often borders the surreal,so..... winking
Those two were lucky,I just wish all the others in the same situation could have such luck? sad2

I tried to get the car reflected in the puddle too,but there was just no way possible to do it? tears
As you must have noticed,I do have a fascination for burnt out cars,stripped of shiny paint and plastic trim the remaining skeletons have their own strange beauty,plus make a quite powerful statement of decay in the disposable society.
Have you thought of trying deviantart yourself?
It is a very friendly site,plus there is no upload limit like on flickr,and the only real drawback is me being a member! laugh

Sadly no,with the financial situation here at the moment there are more unwanted horses and ponies than ever,the sanctuaries and charities that normally give them homes have more than they can afford to keep,so there is nothing they can do to help. sad2
Unfortunately in France horse is considered a delicacy,so these despicable people who claim to be horse lovers see a way to make easy money from supplying horse meat for the French restaurants and dinner tables. mad
The government did try and stop the trade and banned the export of live horses and ponies for slaughter,so they get around that law by having them slaughtered here and ship the carcasses to France instead.
Thank goodness you are able to do something to help the situation there,and that there are other people who also care. :smile:
It really makes you wonder what is in the minds of those who can cruelly mistreat any animal or cause its death for fun?
Here dog fighting has been illegal for almost 200 hundred years I think it is,but now its a very popular "sport" again,fox hunting has been banned,but they are still campaigning to change the law so they can go back to their traditional way of life as they call it and enjoy the sight of a pack of dogs tearing a living creature to pieces?
With up to 40 horses being treated like that,what sort of people are they that can do that,there can not be the slightest amount of humanity or compassion in them for any life form?
Its a shame I am in England,it would be wonderful to photograph a happy ending with a horse or any animal,even just once.sad2
