I had an idea for a new lens last night and started to put it together then. I’m now working on it again and am seriously wondering if it’s a good idea or not.

Do you ever get that?

Have an idea which you are sure is good but working on it is soooo hard that you start to doubt whether it’s really a good idea after all?

It’s a lens that I’m adding to the Promoting your Lens series and I felt it would be useful information for additional promotion. I think I shall be relying on other lensmasters to submit their own links to it for inclusion because it’s very hard to find the lenses I need to include in it.

I came across one lens with the same idea but it wasn’t even completed! That tells me a lot!

Is this going to be too hard for me to do?

I had a terrific idea for a few lenses last night but they all came into my head just before I dropped off. For a long time after I couldn’t fall asleep!

Typical, huh?

Basically, it involves some of the photographs I have taken, which are displayed on Flickr, making sure I add descriptions to the images I use with backlinks to the related lenses and using my other interest: walking.

This idea came to me after I was trying to work out how to use my images to gain traffic but unfortunately, most of my images bear no relation to the lenses I’ve published so far.

So, I had to think of another way of using them.

Over the years I’ve spent living in London, I’ve done a lot of walking, following published walks and taking photographs of areas around London that were mentioned with the books. I did, originally, set up a walking blog but, for some reason, it died a death.

But, now, it seems I’ve figured out a good way of putting these images and my experiences to good use. Here’s to my next so many lenses!

Cheers!

Had a few ideas as to how to improve at least one of my lenses…ideas for writing always come to me whilst I’m in bed!
