For getting a screenshot of my profile at 5000 views, as promised I went through her whole gallery and here are what I think are her best photos...

My new personal record is 3000 photos in one day at the Animals Rock charity festival on a winefarm in Cape Town. My 16GB card only has space for about 100 more photos, so downloading them now.

I took photos of 11 bands from rock to blues to metal. I persuaded two bands to do let me do a mini photo shoot for them outside. I also did two photo shoots for friends there, using the dam water in a quarry as a background and sunset lighting over the farm for the other.

Almost there now!

If you can send me a screenshot of my profile at 5000 views, I'll feature your photos in a journal entry, after looking through your entire gallery for favourites. michael.currin@gmail.com

As of 19 September, I have 4567 pageviews and DeviantArt tells me I get 14 views a day. So I predict that I will reach 5000 in 24.7 days, i.e. on 13 October. Let's see how accurate that is.

I never really got into groups until a few weeks ago. It helped one of my best photos reach 458 views in a month and a half. thesoftcollision.deviantart.co…

I've joined many band and model-related groups as well as nature, vintage, Nikon, trains and black and white groups. You can see a list of the groups I've joined here: thesoftcollision.deviantart.co… . But a couple of the bnw groups never seem to accept my photos, despite trying to only submit good photos.

It seems kind of redundant when there are several groups for one idea such as black and white. The smaller the group, the easier it is to get something submitted (often not even requiring approval) and your limit of how many you can submit in a week is greater. That's why I enjoy the small groups. I don't really consider the size when joining.

I like that I can watch the Deviations of a group to get to see variety of photographers' shots, but the problem is that it really pushes up the amount of unread Deviations I receive. It's over 10 000 now and I only look at a few occasionally. But I often look at the galleries of Deviants who interact with me and my gallery.
