My Fave Photos

I love taking photos. It was always hit and miss though to see if people had been decapitated, or someones elbow was pokeing into a wedding cake! So after reading some posts on CS last year I signed up to Cheryls Painting with Light course. Now whilst I don't claim to be the next David Baily I do now take the time to look at what I'm photographing thanks to Cheryl. So imagine my excitement when her email arrived last week, I'm going to bite the bullet and try the TechPro class. I'm cheating a little bit by doing the twopeasinabucket one so I am learning a little about aperature and speed etc before Cheryl bombards me with it all.

I love taking photos of people and especially when they aren't looking, although looking at the album below you wouldn't know that, all my people are posed :-) And whilst I do love colour, I have a hankering for Black and White images, the Chrys (am not going to shame myself by attempting to spell it) below was a beautiful yellow colour but I somehow thought it might look good in B&W. A good few of my photo's of RuairI are B&W too, it helps to hide the dirt on his face!!!!!!!!

My big downfall though is printing photos, generally they end up on the hard drive here and never see the light of day again. But since I've been off work I have been printing quiet a few, I managed to get an album full of our holiday ones and I've framed a few as well. And thanks to CS I've found new ideas for laying out photos etc which is great.

Better get back to the real world for another while, I hear the laptop and accounts calling from the kitchen, so bye for now and Thanks for Reading!
