A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Firework Weekend!

 

Friday evening saw Julia, James and me head down to the local Scouts Hut/field for this year's fireworks event, first time it's been back since 2019!

And what a feel good evening, good company, excellent show and burgers/hotdogs to munch on whilst we waited for the fireworks to start.


This is us waiting for the show to kick off and testing out the phone abilities to take decent people photos at night!

Saturday saw us rock up at Leeds Castle for their firework extravaganza this year - theme was Royalty. Excellent as usual, good choice of music and a very well choreographed show.


This year there were a few more of us, normally it's just me and Julia. But James made his virgin visit to the show along with his mate Dima and Dima's son Charlie. None of them have ever seen the display before so it was good to see their reactions to the show.

Packed the TG-6 all-weather compact and in the end tried out the firework scene mode which worked remarkably well. Think the Live Composite could have been useful but suspect I needed some negative EV as much of it burnt out. In the dark and my excitement not to miss much by keep looking down at the camera I'd forgotten to check it!

Good show though and not too onerous getting out of Car Park No:4 either.
