Macro

Good morning all.

One of the things which has always fascinated me is Macro photography, some of the resulting photographs are truly amazing. I recently added an App to my phone which had a macro setting and have enjoyed using it around the garden...but I really wanted to try the macro setting on my camera, so last week I did!

Promises, Promises!

Good morning all.

A Year with my Camera promised to get me off auto in six weeks...a bold claim to someone who had no clue about the workings of a camera! At three-four weeks in I still didn't think it was possible...but here I am at six weeks and my camera has been on manual most of the week!!

I even have some photos to show for it too:)

Chasing the Aurora

Good morning all.

I had my first taste of Aurora chasing last night with eldest...the skies were reasonably clear so off we set about 10.30pm to the local lighthouse. It was quite a mild night though quite breezy on the headland...note to self - buy a woolly hat!

Capturing the Northern Lights

Good morning all.

"Capturing the Northern Lights" was the theme of the class eldest and I attended on Monday evening. There were only three of us in the class so there was plenty of opportunity to ask silly questions and iron out anything you weren't too sure about.

F-stops, Shutter Speed and ISO....

Good morning all.

Numbers, numbers and more numbers....all set to confuse you!
