A Year of Smithiesshutter
One year ago today I set out on an adventure. I have discovered a lot about my photography and on the way have met some lovely people and have made many new friends. Some of you have made a remarkable contribution to the blogging experience and through your interest and contacts I have discovered your world of blogging…..and what a world that is. Not only are many of you accomplished and inspiring photographers, but your blogging often shows a depth of knowledge and research. Many of you combine your photography with some talented writing that adds a fascinating dimension to the experience of visiting your blog. My sincere thanks to you all.
This selection …..one from each month of 2012….is somewhat random, and a very personal choice. I hope that it might encourage more recent visitors to have a look around
Regards and best wishes
John
Beautiful, beguiling and inspirational pics as always. I love getting my daily smithiesshutter email and only wish I had signed up a year ago! Here’s to another year ahead of brilliant blogging. See you soon xxx
Hi Ellie….and thanks…..though not sure about the beguiling……see you Saturday.
Having just looked up the actual meaning of beguiling, I definitely didn’t mean that – stupid girl. Let’s say captivating instead! x
Beguiling, bejeepers…..captivating….just keep them coming…
A fantastic set of images and a pleasure to enjoy your great work during this year. I hope to continue enjoying it for a long time. Thanks for sharing it!!! Best wishes.
Thank you very much Santi…I will do my best to keep posting….and very best wishes to you…..
Great collection in the slideshow John, a great year! Here’s to the next 12 months.
Thanks Adrian…..I need to get out and take more photos, otherwise there won’t be much to show soon….thanks for your support, it’s much appreciated.
Great selection John, and very apt words when describing your own site, photography and images. I look forward to another year of reading you work. Andy
I was thinking of your blog when I wrote those words…thanks so much Andy, for your encouragement.

What a beautiful collage of images, John…. It’s been great visiting with you these many months, sharing in the array of your own images and words. Congratulations on the first year…I shall be here waiting and watching for more…you truly inspire me in my efforts at being a better photographer…thank you.
My dear friend, you are too kind……and just when I was going to take a break from blogging, you will be waiting and looking out for my posts…..so I can’t stop now….this means that I have to go out and take yet more photographs…..it’s as well that I’ve just bought a new camera……
Thanks Scott…..totally against my will, I am persuaded….
Yes, John…I shall be here waiting, so you can not step away from the pleasurable task of capturing your world and sharing it with us…with your new camera. And you are most welcome…thank You, my friend….
I will try to do my best and not disappoint …..!
I think it’s very unlikely that I would be disappointed, John…. Wishing you a restful sleep and happy morning….
