Family, Photography and other misc news
Tonight I paid for my photography course.
I have always used small format camera’s; eg 35mm film or APC-C sensor equipped SLR’s.
This year I made the move to Medium format to complement my SLR kit, it certainly slows you down and makes you think about your photography.
I decided to book myself on a large format course, now thats slow photography.
Its being held in December so i’ll update you all then.
Tuesday as usual we visited the father in law, Alan.
Normally its a motorcycle ride straight from work to the village where he lives, but tonight we headed home first to get the car. It was a cold day and neither of us were packing our thermal undies; it was likely to be late night so rather then face a cold trip home on the Bike, the car sounded a better bet. It would also give me a chance to grab my laptop, I wanted to have a play with the default blog options my hosting company provides.
The reason for our visit, just the usual Tuesday night visit, to inflict my cooking on him. Today, cauliflower and home made cheese sauce. At least thats what I made for Caroline and Alan, for myself a burger. I cannot stand cauliflower.
There was another reason for making the visit. Alan had purchased a new Sony A55, a fun little camera which I can well recommend for a beginner or someone wanting a small body SLR. Rather a unique camera with its fixed mirror, kind of a hybrid between a EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens Camera) and a normal SLR.
Hi world.
Well, our first Blog entry. Normally we have the odd bike related entry on the Motorcyle page, the bits that are family related on the family etc. These are written in a simple text editor using html and ftp’ed up to our website.
Most people now are using Word Press, a far easier way to publish your thoughts, so this is a simple experiment, to see how it goes. I am going to keep updating the other pages but also add the odd thought or two here.
Let me also add this is not what I would call a real WordPress site, just the default blog option that uses WordPress, that my web hosting company gives users for free. Getting the mysql database up and running, and downloading the WordPress application and getting a real site up and running is the job for later this week.
As this moves from Development to Live and possibly back again, and I also repost some old favourites, it might prove a little hard to follow at first, but please bare with me. Any posts before this date have been moved from the old website.
