And no, I was not on the sherry when I captured the Moon and Venus in
the sky last night...

The Story of My Life
I did not have a digital camera when I started trying to improve in photography.
It seems like a hundred years since I started focusing
on taking better photos.
It has been a chastening experience,
with many months spent
down on my hunkers
as children used say in the 'fifties.
I started off by having some very good photographers like Blather, Elimare, Commando, Miss W. Tod and Magicbastard help me out. (These are names worth doing a search for, as their work is very lively.)
For a while I thought they were all mathematical geniuses, as I was wandering round with paper and pencil, recording the f stopping and all the rest of the AV and TV details on my Pentax Mz 50, not realising that digital gives all this instantly, along with the histogram reading.
As it turned out, this two year training made digital much easier, as I had learned the language necessary to communicate.
However, being self taught has its amusing aspects. I bought at tripod under my virtual tutors instruction. Not realising that it had extendible legs, I spent a month crawling round on my knees and shooting my subjects from some very odd angles, pointing upwards. Compliments poured in and I was told that my work had improved greatly...

Diopter Magic
Taken under tungsten light
in the darkest month of last year,
this reminds me of how many
magical photos you can take
inddors in Winter.
A diopter 4+ was used.

Autumn Sunshine on a Saturday Morning in County Laois
The lengthening shadows of Autumn
fall across the grounds at Emo Court.

Sunflower Magic in the Sunshine
Taken in the Botanic Gardens,
Glasnevin,
in Early October, 2008.
A virtual little field of sunflowers
attracted enthusiastic photographers
and made us slow down to admire the
beauty of the site.
