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!

Low Light - Family Challenge

 

So we've finally started off the 2022 family photo challenge with low light and/or night photography - a good choice given the time of year.

This was one of my first ideas, some coloured plastic jewel shapes laid out on a mirror, suspended over some multi-coloured fairy lights. All sitting inside a pop up tent with a black backdrop.

This is just a quick phone snap of the general layout, I used some Systema pots to support the mirror, the final image came out quite well.

It's been a tougher subject than I first thought, mainly due to the distinct lack of subjects!

Still this year we're setting the subjects for a month at a time so we all have plenty of time to join in and it also means we don't have to think up lots of subjects, just twelve, which is good because we've covered an absolute myriad of subjects thus far!
