Earlier this month I went on a Night Photography course run by Cheshire Photographic and Arts Academy. I’d not done night photography before but was keen to try it. The course was really good fun and the tutors were really friendly and helpful. I’d definitely recommend it, a fantastic course in my favourite city
Earlier this week Tim was invited to tour the Houses of Parliament, so off to London we went. Unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed in, so I took the opportunity to have a wander round Big Ben and take some photos. Although I had been to London a few times before, I’d never really wandered round the …
On arriving at the Eden Project I nipped to the loo. The water in the toilet bowl was slightly yellow and I was about to go into a different loo when I remembered Tim mentioning that Eden uses rainwater to flush the loos. A sign on the back of the door assured me that it was fine. Feeling …
Last weekend Shirley and I went on a Street Safari Class in Manchester, run by Manchester Photographic. We arrived at 9am (far too early for a Saturday! ) where we were given a short introduction to street photography – best settings to use, how to shoot, what not to shoot, etc. before being unleashed onto …
Tim is currently helping his mum convert a barn for them to live in, just like on grand designs, only they are actually doing the work themselves, not hiring in contractors to do it for them. The only things they haven’t done themselves are pouring the screed and fitting the patio windows. Everything else has …
If January were a colour it would be a pale, cold and uninteresting shade of grey. Not this year. In the first week I was invited to my ex-ex works do. I used to work in-house for a translation agency and they normally hold their Christmas do in January. I think it’s a good idea …
Tim and I love fancy dress, we even have a wardrobe dedicated to it. The idea of a fancy dress wedding has also cropped up on more than one occasion. This New Year the theme of the party we were invited to was “Movie stars and TV”. Despite my not-so-subtle hints about a Pirates of …
Slowly but surely Tim and Toby got tired of being my models, (yes Toby, the dog, actually sighed at me…how very rude!) so inpired by the fantabulous Alex Beadon, I decided to give self-portraits a go. I felt pretty stupid at first, actually really stupid, but after a while I got into it. It was …
The idea was to just to take them for a night to see if they got on with Toby. They didn’t. But somehow one night turned into two, and three and here we are trying to decide on names. The kitchen is no longer ours. They cry when they go outside, they cry when they …
It was hard resisting the urge to use the title a bute-iful wedding. Especially since it was. The level of detail Mark and Shirley went to was a photographer’s dream and my photos do not do it justice at all. The wedding took place at Mount Stuart, a beautiful gothic mansion on the isle of …
