I was being ironic when I said that about "proper" photos...that's why I used the inverted commas.
If you look in my most recent journal (below the contest) you'll that the kind of pictures I submit here are not representative of all the kinds of pictures I take....I tend only to submit regulation land/waterscapes here, and the what my style actually is, the way I approach photography, is something I've been reappraising over the last year or so.
