It feels good to have made a book. There is a sense of accomplishment and pride
\nthat everything inside is all my own work! And a photobook is so accessible and
\neasy to look at. It is more than a photo album because it is not just a memory of a
\nholiday or a visit somewhere; in my view, it is much more about a collection of
\nimages that work together as a piece of art. I was encouraged by the photography
\ngroup, I belong, to try this as a way of presenting images and for the book to be
\namongst a collection of work from the group as a whole; forming an exhibition for
\nfriends and family and fellow photographers to enjoy.
\nAt the start of this year GCM put out a post about what we hoped 2019 would hold
\nfor us. The making of a book was on that list for something I would like to achieve.
\nSo I am really pleased that one of my personal goals has been reached this year.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nInside the book are 24 pages which have images I have taken over a short time. In a
\nfew places local to myself. I used a range of cameras, lenses and settings.
\nOn inspecting the photographs I had chosen, I realised that I have not used any
\nfilters. I\u2019m hoping that <\/span>\u200b<\/span>https:\/\/stcoptics.com<\/span>\u200b <\/span>will make a 46mm CPL-M ND16 Filter
\nand also the same filter for my phone too! Something for next time!
\nThe images are personal to my style of photography, being mainly close up, using
\nshape, texture, colour and light to express the beauty of the landscape
\nSo that is why the book is named in the way that it is!
\nIt’s also a homage to a favourite book of mine:<\/span><\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis book has been on and off my bookshelf many times. I have taken it on holiday
\nwith me on more than one occasion! It’s totally inspiring to me. I met David Ward in
\nMarch 2016 and he was kind enough to sign it for me.
\nThe observant of you will notice that both books have a yellow-toned jacket. My book
\nhas a hard cover which I hope, for such a thin book, will help it wear well. Yellow also
\nhelps it stand out in my bookcase!
\nOn the last page of my book has an accreditation. Text can easily be printed where
\nyou wish it to be within the book. I particularly wanted and needed to thank that
\nperson. Elohim.
\nYou maybe wondering if I have plans for another Photo Book and this is a question
\nthat I have not answered yet! My answer is maybe – given the right project – time \u2013
\nmoney.
\nI would certainly use Photobox again to print my book. You can read
\n<\/span>How do you see your images?<\/span>\u200b \u200b<\/span>on the blog from March 2019 for more information.<\/span>
\nTheir site works very well and gives you plenty of design option so your creative
\njuices should be happy! I did personally keep using the ” Save ” button just in case.
\nIt’s something that you need to take your time with. Because whatever you send
\nthem they will print. So it\u2019s important to get it right.
\nOn pricing I personally don’t have a comparison for you. What I will say is the first
\nbook is at full price. Further down the line, if you have signed up for emails, they
\ntend to send you many great offers to buy and print further books, at a later date.
\nThis is a huge benefit if you are a regular Photo Book maker and enjoy collating a
\nrange of photographs into one beautiful presentation.
\nFrom order to delivery took around 10 days. However, if it is for a special occasion
\nsuch as Christmas, Valentines etc it may be a little longer. The delivery was as they
\npredicted and the packaging ensured the book was well protected from any damage
\nso you can rest assured your book will be safe.
\nI have enjoyed the whole creative process of making my first book and very pleased
\nwith the final results. I think it may now become one of my coffee table books to
\nremind me of my achievement and to show friends how my hobby is developing!
