First post for a while

Seems like ages since I last wrote a post on here – it’s been pretty hectic outside of photography and work recently and I’ve not taken much since finishing my 365 Project XLV back in mid-March.

A Difficult Day

Sadly, today we are burying my lovely Nanna.  A sweeter, kinder, gentler, lovelier person you could never meet. I took this photo at Nanna and Gramps’ 70th Wedding Anniversary in 2015. The poem below I’ll be reading at the service, amazingly written by someone called Greta which was Nanna’s name. I added the final verse Shine Shine…

Quick Project XLV Update

Unlike a lot of people who undertake a 365 challenge, I didn’t start mine at the beginning of the year but on my birthday in March and as such I’ve still got a few weeks to go yet. Happily I’ve passed the 300 mark – on the day of writing I’m up to 319 –…

Get on Flickr in 2017

It’s that time of year again when I think about two things – Christmas presents that I want and 2017 Flickr Challenges. If you don’t know much about Flickr, then here are links to three posts that I wrote last year about Why I Love Flickr, My Favourite Flickr Groups and Flickr Do’s and Don’ts….

Cancun – fun in the sun

Mrs C and I had a week in Cancun at the end of September at the Fiesta Americana Hotel so I thought I’d share with you a few shots from the trip. Firstly, this was the view from our balcony; There were some beautiful sunrises; And lovely soft sandy beaches; Here are a few more…

Another weekend, another wedding

Last weekend we traveled to Ireland for the wedding of the daughter of one of Mrs C’s old school friends. It was a good trip, although tiring – we left home at 4am on Saturday and returned 11pm on Monday. I chose not to use the DSLR at the wedding this time as it was a smaller…

Answer to the conundrum

Last week I posted that I wasn’t sure what kit to take to the wedding of some good friends to which we’d been invited as guests. I had some useful advice from Claire on twitter ; @photosbypjc Take the compact. Like you said, you’re a guest and you don’t want to get in the way of the…

A Photographer’s Dilemma

I have a dilemma to face tomorrow. We’re guests at the wedding of a friend of my wife. We’ve known the couple for about 5 years and the 4 of us are god parents to Mikey, the son of another couple that we are friends with. My problem is what camera(s) and gear to take –…

After six weeks enforced leave, I am now back in an office environment for my 9-5.
