    The lockdown is a disaster for work. Currently doing pro-bono work with graphics and archived shots on social media for my clients that are having the same disastrous effects for their business which has caught a bit off attention and attracted new customers. That's just about keeping the money coming in.

    I've had to resort to stock photography. On the other hand, my contributor stock on Shutterstock has spiked, but the payments are just a joke.

    Basically I'm paying a fortune to buy stock and being paying a pittance for supplying stock.

    Working on a new photojournalist project that might make money in the future.

    Great photo of Larry David floating around. The proportions of the house make the photo. Wow.

    I can just see him getting into an argument with the delivery guy - whilst observing social distancing of course!



    :D

    I found this little beauty growing beside the path during my daily walk!


    Gorgeous, what f stop is this at ?
    edit- just checked flickr link I see f/5.0 ...




    I have the canon 50mm f1.4, and I notice It's hard to get a clear shot at f/1.4, i rarely use it, normally go for f/2.8 at most.

    Thanks Tom,

    I was using a Nikon 105mm f/2.8 macro lens. As the subject is so close to the lens, this always gives a lovely bokeh if you get a little separation from subject and background. Even at much smaller aperture.

    I should have taken it at f8 or above to get a greater depth of field but as it was handheld in a slight breeze I decided not too :(

    All of these photos are great. I found the following international places photos marvelous in this quarantine. Yes, I didn't have opportunity to capture them but I am sharing with you.

    Above is a photo from Tokyo street where life was busy at night but in lockdown days, it is looking empty.

    See how Roma is looking like after the lockdown. They suffered a lot in this pandemic and I want to wish them blessings and love.

    I am beginner in photography and usually take photos for my blog from my phone. According to my friend, i should start my photography business because I am good at taking them with smartphone. Right now, I am on my way to choose a good photography brand name from here and then I would decide either I would continue to professional photography or not. I am curious to know how photographers sell their photos at 500px or iStock.

    Moreover, I am love these lockdown photos:

    Yeah! after lockdown, Venice canals are enough clearer to see under the water.

    No crowd on New York roads. Mayhap, a positive side of this pandemic.
