Trip To Marrakech And The Atlas Mountains

[Tim Pindar]

Hi everyone, if you fancy it take a look at my blog post about our recent holiday trip to Morocco, and follow the link to the online gallery.

Here is one of my favourite shots, up in the Mountains:

Aha, I wondered where you'd been of late. Nice shot, and it looks like there are many more from a quick glance (I'll look in more detail this evening). I also like the one with the two cypress trees in the mdi ground.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Tim a nice set of images and blog. The climate and warmth comes through.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

I like the shot...but your blog is very well done. Nice work.

 

[Tim Pindar]

Thanks all. I don't get much traffic to the blog and in some ways it's just for my own satisfaction. Good fun to do when I have the time.

Zenfolio have just refreshed their web page layout options but I've not tried the new designs yet.

Apologies for bumping my own thread, but I would welcome critique on the following photos from this set.

Very happy with negative comments, or suggestions to improve. Or just.. you're indifferent. Whatever.

Local baker in Marrakech. (The local women prepare the dough and bring it to him, he bakes it and they collect it later.)

Hi Tim! It's good to see you again and it looks as though you had a great time. I'm the same with my own blog in that it is purely for my own satisfaction. Do you find it therapeutic? I love the way you have set everything out. Good luck trying the new designs, but I really love it just the way it is. Of the images above, I especially love the backlight on the cacti and that wonderful window (door?) set into that gorgeous warm brickwork

 

[Tim Pindar]

Thanks Lesley, yes the blog is very therapeutic, though I've not been doing it long or very frequently.

Not sure what it is about doors, but I love photographing them. Often they are very easy to snap once you've spotted a good one.

Regarding websites and blogs, I think it would be good to have a forum on here where people can discuss anything and everything to do with photo websites and services (Zenfolio, Smugmug, Flickr, etc), get opinions on their own site, and so on.

Tim, looks like a stunning vacation

Love the building interiors especially, although the backlit cactus is really nice

Cheers Chris.
