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!

Hurstwood Woods

 

Friday saw me and Dad mooch along to Hurstwood Woods as we'd not been there for a while. Took the cameras as usual but ended up being more natter and less photography!

Dad found these chestnut pods and managed to prise one open, most seemed quite empty, and so we each took a shot. I've used my usual Lightroom profiles also adding a hint of blue to the shadows.

I used to collect the chestnuts whilst waiting for the bus home in my school days many moons ago. There are sweet chestnut trees at St Stephens Church where I used to wait. These nuts would line the pockets of my winter coat and provide a healthy snack 😋

Also something to do whilst waiting because there always seems to be more buses going where you aren't 🤔 In this case the buses to Walderslade were prolific compared to my humble Maidstone bus. In fact they still are :-(
