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!

Shoes

 

So this week's family photo challenge was Shoes. Having had a good think about what I could use, amongst other things like Julia's first pair of shoes, a pair of wooden clogs from Holland and a pair of wellies that were an 18th birthday cake decoration, I found this. It's kind of like an Aladdin's slipper and is a charm on a ready made bracelet that belonged to my Mum. Originally in a silver and gold mix metal and shot on a piece of shimmering teal blue and violet material I converted the image to black and white adding a simple tone to the monochrome image. Shot using a Canon 60mm macro lens which I am reacquainting myself with, had forgotten just how shallow the depth of field is when you are shooting in close.

Quite enjoying the family photo challenges albeit with a small break currently whilst Julia and James arrange some internet for their new house! Julia is the one with the bag of numbers which we use to pick our next subject ;-)
