Time to finish this blog

I have enjoyed this course and have loved seeing the entries in the competition. Gill has done really well with hers as well as everyone else and all have really put some thought into what they are taking :) My theme for this exercise was Macro and as such I am uploading some photos from Anglesey that we took last weekend :)

Wild miniature cyclamen, which was growing around the base of the trees. It was so pretty :)

I did do some housework on this photo like moving twigs and grass that I didn't want in the picture - left the leaves there, one because there were way too many to move (left the hoover at home ;)) and two because it lends itself to the time of year - Autumn :)

Unfortunately this dragonfly did not want it's photo taken on anything that you could really see him on - he stayed on this rock formation which was a water fountain :( so inconsiderate of him...... but he was gorgeously marked with green and brown stripes :)

and of course there is always the obligatory photo of my partner in crime when it comes to photography :)

The first photo was taken for Gill's entry into the Tec Pro Workshop run by Cheryl Johnson of Feelgoodphotos :) it includes 4 things to take to her desert island and they are 'toothbrush' in case there is a man friday, walking stick and tom tom together with her sudoku book whilst waiting for man friday to arrive :)

Well that's all from me for now on this blog just suffice to say that I will be carrying on taking photos and hopefully I will be able to post the odd one on here just to see if I am getting any better at it. I am looking forward to reading the blogs of all the students in this course :) Thanks for making it an enjoyable course everyone :)

At an End

The tec workshop is nearly at an end now - we have completed our 4 modules and hopefully I have learnt to be more patient and not rush into taking a photograph and not getting the shot I really wanted. Having said that today we were out in Anglesey and were taking photos of moving targets, which means you have to be quite quick there or miss the shot so there are times when you have to be ready all the time and others when you are taking still life that you can take all the time you want to get that final shot. I will upload some of the ones I have taken today as soon as I have vetted them ;) Unfortunately I did not have the time to take my self portrait for the competition at the end of the course but will enjoy looking through everyone elses and seeing what else they have to do during the course of the competition :) I hope that everyone has enjoyed and learned as much as they can on this course and that they as well as I will take on board (slowly in my case) the points raised and go on to get that 'fantastic' in their eyes shot. Don't forget to enjoy the photography and not to take it so serious that you lose sight of why you started it in the first place. Look out for those pics on here soon :)
