Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of zero image views, I will fear no clicks
That’s right, beleive it or not I have a bevy of images that I have uploaded to Photrade that have absolutely no images views! Well!, we can’t have that now can we??
Most of them have never been viewed for one of 2 reasons,
1) I shared them originally on other sites and thus have not been posted anywhere since
2) I have uploaded them just to do so and they are either not share worthy or I just haven;t gotten around to it yet.
SO, I plan on making several random posts with these orphan images and see what shakes out 
The fun part will be reliving the stories behind each one of them as most likely they will be different every time.
Spring, birds, seed, camera, begin! This was one of many birds I shot (with my camera) this spring right outside our back door. This was also the proud father of a baby female cardinal…which returned on many occasions together to have some bird seed we put out.

Some kind of weird bug! I really need to get an insect book so I can ID these suckers. These guys were ALL OVER the flowers and plants (weeds) in our backyard for a couple week span in May or maybe April?

You know that small container dental floss that the dentist give you after the end of every visit? This is the cutter from that container. I got several cool pictures from this thing, I think mostly because the plastic was this cool blue sparkle plastic…very designer.

Drops! Of water, one of my most favorite things to shoot. Hopefully I am getting better as I go along. This is about the 4th time I have shot them. I’d say a few more times before I really dial them drops in…make them the way I first envisioned them when I set out on this little adventure.

This is a children’s book binding that was doing it’s best to retain the pages of said book. It’s one of those cardboard books, a book about colors if I am not mistaken…how apropos!
Nice formatting by me right? Images, text, every which way but loose! This is not my car! A shocker right?? The only thing that is keeping me from having a car like this is the ability to seat 5 comfortably AND maybe $60K or so.

Mr. C, up close and personal. This was before I figured out how to shoot flash through my back window and door hence i being a little muddled.

Thanks! I have a ton of images that have not been viewed yet, clearly I have not been spamming my images nearly enough!

I’ve found that on many an occasion I upload too many and then haven’t taken the time to add title’s descriptions and tag words etc,. I reckon that alone would restrict the amount of views.
I love the water drops. I don’t suppose they would be possible with a point and shoot?
Yay, I can get email notification…..

email notification FTW!!
Using a P&S would be extremely difficult just b/c of the shutter lag. You could try it but while my success rate might be 1/3 or 1/5 shots that are keepers, I reckon a P&S would be more like 1/8 or 1/10 – maybe more!
I hear you on the tagging and so forth (same here for me)…I was all set to tag city and now of course their bulk tagging system is not working! WEAK!

Here’s another question for you. How do you get the different colored water? Is it the lighting?
