Have you thought about how many photos you can actually take with your camera? It is possible to check how many have been taken for many cameras via sites that check the actuation, or shutter count, of an image you upload. In 2008 my husband bought me the new Nikon D90. I loved that camera…

Do you like jigsaws?
I know many of my audience loves jigsaws and while I have several you can purchase to do on a table or a board, or something, I do have several others available as online puzzles – totally free. A great thing to do while at home during ISO but at any time really. I’ll be…
Made it to Guru… at last!
After 3.5 years I finally made to the Guru level as a photographer! What does that mean? I’ve been a member of Gurushots during that time, working my way up through Newbie, Rookie, Challenger, Advanced, Veteran, Expert, Champion, Master and finally to Guru! Some make it quicker – I have no idea why I didn’t…
Do You Enjoy Photography?
If you’re like me, you enjoy photography challenges. Getting the best bird shot, getting the best flower shot, getting the best insect shot. And you like to experiment with different styles. Or, perhaps you don’t, but maybe you are open to the idea? Nearly 4 years ago I joined Gurushots, as I was told that…
Photography and Social Media tips
I’ve been a blogger for many years, since 2005 in fact, and own a few blogs on various topics. Firm believer that you should keep your blog focused on one topic – although you may have many categories under that one topic. In this case, this blog relates to photography and the categories relate to…
Meet Steve and the crew from our workshop
Delighted to see that Steve has shared some of our photos and about the workshop on his website. We really did have a lovely 2 days – it went far too fast but I did learn a great deal once again. This is the second workshop I’ve done with Steve Parish and very different to…

Taking a photo a day
Hi, have you missed me? I have been around, mostly at Facebook, and life before Christmas was incredibly crazy. But I don’t stop taking photos almost every day of my life. A great way of improving my skills, getting to know my camera well and seeing things in a way that I might not have,…
An Introduction to Bird Photography
Since taking up photography much more seriously over the past 4 years, I’ve found that bird photography is the most challenging… and the most satisfying. Getting close enough for that one-of-a-kind shot or hoping you’ll see that bird again to do better next time. I find my bush walks so much more interesting these days…
Do you receive my posts by email?
I’ve been updating the site, as you might be aware, and changing some of my systems. I’ve been going through a real learning curve with the new theme (courtesy of StudioPress Themes) and using the mail service at MailChimp so that I have all my blog and newsletter services in the one place, rather than…
New look to the site
I’m currently updating the look of this site with a new theme – one that is proving to be a bit challenging at the moment, but I’ve got it more than halfway there, so determined to persevere. I hope you like the new look, once it’s finished.
