Welcome one and all to my photography blog. I thought I would share my journey from clueless happy snapper to professional photographer with you all. Well you have to live the dream right? Designed to keep me on track, motivated and hopefully be of some interest. I have never kept a diary or journal so this introspection and catalogue of one's thoughts is all new to me, so please bear with me - thanks for visiting!

OK, what's the relationship between aperture and shutter speed again?

Firstly, let me just apologise for the distinct lack of bloggage of late. I could lie and say that I have been extremely busy and have not had the time, but really I have been hibernating! This feels like it has been the longest and coldest winter for a very long time, and there was me thinking that climate change was making things warmer...no such luck. I also had to emerge from the post-holiday depression. You know the mood which usually accompanies one back to work like a big black cloud which hovers menacingly above the newly tanned but stressed back-to-worker. 

 
Don't worry, things have not got that bad! Just one of my shots from "poetry week" from my photography class. What's that? I hear you cry, a class? Yes, I have become a student again (albeit only for one evening a week, but I also have homework!) and it feels great. I love the learning, challenging myself to do something out of my comfort zone and into something amazing. The class is great and the tutor; Natasha is brilliant. I have been out and about with my camera before but as you can see from my previous blogs, I have been struggling to get to grips with the camera's many functions and how to take my camera off auto but still get decent looking images. Don't get me wrong, I still feel like I am stumbling along in the dark but at least now I can see a light up ahead and I am heading towards it. Whoa, that was a deep analogy, let's lighten things up a bit. Want to see some pics from the course? Well, here are a few.
