Are you, like me, passionate about photography ? I’m pretty sure you already know it’s not always as easy as it looks. Wouldn’t it be great if all you needed to do was buy a fab new camera, point it at your subject to capture a show stopping shot ! OK, you might well get the odd one but you really should be getting consistent, sharp and innovative results.

We all have to start somewhere. That somewhere is getting a better understanding of the functions of your camera, once you’ve done that you can develop a more creative approach to photography. This workshop will help you “grow” as a photographer.

take a look at the options below and decide for yourself which category you fit in and if this is the right workshop for you

*1* by taking this workshop you will be able to pack up the day job and become a professional photographer – FALSE

*2* at the end of this workshop you will be able to take creative shots with confidence that have the wow factor – TRUE

There are plans a foot to run a Technical Pro Workshop in the early summer. Painting with Light is purely a creative workshop – it will not cover technical aspects like F/stops etc.

Not a particularly major day in our house but I’m a big supporter of the campaign to make it a public holiday – anything for another day off work  !!

This past weekend saw the end of the boys football season.  I was guilted into going to the games on saturday and sunday, but I don’t mind too much when the weather is glorious.  We won 5-1 & 7-0, Ethan scored a goal in each match with one being the most amazing header from a corner – I did laugh watching him rub his head after the compulsory  celebrations.  Theo was sub and had a little kick around in both games.  Chafford Lions came third in the league and should be promoted next season.  Just all the summer tournaments to look forward to now !!

Told my unshaved husband he looked like my dad with his greying whiskers !  One way to get him to shave quick smart
