Showing off

This is nothing to do with bikes but I can't resist a chance to show off.

I went to a one day photography course in Kimmeridge, the little village where my daughter lives. It was subsidised by Dorset Artsreach so it was only £30 for a day with the 2009 Wildlife Photographer of the Year!

I only have a compact camera which is a bit fiddly and I don't really understand it but did the course help me? Judge for yourselves!

I don't think that is showing off

They are terrific

£30 well spent I reckon

Some great pictures Bobbie!
Just keep it up now and enjoy yourself, you obviously have an eye for things. The good thing about digital cameras is that you can snap away and it does not cost a fortune like it used to do with 35mm film.
Try shots with different settings and under and over exposures if your camera will let you do it and see what effects you get, it's great fun and you learn more as you go along.
If they come out badly you just erase them, if they work great keep trying more settings.
Good luck.

Some good pics there BG, well worth the £30.
That experience will live with you.

Lovely pics BG - worth posting up and very worthwhile looking at them.

A colleague from work came back yesterday from holidaying in South Africa. I was required to guess how many photos he had taken in that fortnight ....... a long guessing game later established it was in excess of 4,500

I did suggest he works out how much it would have cost him in film and developing costs .....

I think he has plans for the longest ever holiday photos session to inflict on his "more successful twin brother" ...... nothing like a bit of sibling victimisation .....

Not bad at all, you seem to have an eye for it, only thing I'd say is keep your horizons level. Otherwise all the sea will run out of the pictures onto the floor.

Nice BG, well worth the cash, my eye keeps getting drawn to this one, dunno why.
