Help Me Clear up the Haze: What is Shooting Outside all About?

Why Does Shooting Outside Exist?

 

To be honest, this post is asking for your help. I need to find out what you think of my blog. I'll post of few questions below that I hope you'll take a couple of minutes answering. The only effort is that you'll need to answer the questions by preceding the answers with a number as I have below. Thanks.

So what is unclear here? 

1. While the site url is 'outsideshooter.blogspot.com', the title is 'Shooting Outside'. 

?.  Is that confusing to you or can I continue? 


2. Is this site about Tips and Tricks or my photography for sale?

?. Is it immediately clear to you or should I make some changes? 


3. Did landing here give you what you thought you were here to see?

?. Or did you come here for a reason unrelated to the link and if so what was your reason for visiting?


Three simple questions


The reason I'm asking for your help is I recently paid for a study, which gave me results I find may warrant some changes, and I'd like to hear directly from readers like you. Thanks very much for your two minutes and your million dollar answers.

By the way, feel free to add any comments at all, that relate to this study. My goal is to improve reader experience.

New Photo Art at Fine Art America

 

 

Eye of the Croc  


 

As I crouched to take this shot, mere feet away, the Crocodile never took his gaze off me for a second. His jaws were beginning to relax and slightly separate. I remember thinking I had forgotten to silence my shutter and wondered if that double-click would cause a reaction. I had to recall, without looking how much room I had behind me to jump back, if it did. I think I took almost a full minute to release the shutter, every second becoming more tense than the one before. And I thought to myself, I know you didn't get as big as you are, Mr. Croc, by missing often, but please just this once. 

 

Clearly I'm here to write this so I survived the shoot, with nary a move on the Croc's part, but I have wondered since if it were mere luck. I guess I'll find out if I run across him again. Ever had a near miss like this?

Who are You Creating Your Art for?



Who are You Creating Your Art for?


There are artists who make a living creating art for their potential buyers. There are many more who do this and barely make a sale. Then there are artists who create their art, regardless if it is paper, clay, steel or photography, for themselves. Again some make a living, some don't.
