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!

Having fun with paper curls!




 To keep me busy during what is turning into a really cold day/night I've been playing with some paper curls up in the studio. Have done this sort of thing before, it's a camera magazine idea, but thought I'd have another go to while away a few hours with the camera and then the laptop.

Really pleased with the selection I whittled my 74 images down to, just shy of 20 images, and have picked this one to represent the batch. Thought this particular vantage point makes the shape of an eye, you can see the backdrop material behind it and the slightly brighter piece is from a peg holding the paper together.

Heavily processed in Lightroom, as usual, think this has morphed from the original Grandma's Lemonade preset into this final piece.

If nothing else the still life keeps me focused creatively whilst getting out and about is hampered by a) the weather and b) Lockdown 99 (or is that just what it feels like...)
