The sun has got his hat on...

It has been a beautiful weekend here in the UK. The sun has been shining, we have been entertaining all weekend outside , and the BBQ has been doing overtime. The garden is blooming, we are enjoing our crop of lettuce daily, and life just couldn't be better really!

I am currently doing Karen Russell's Photography Workshop, and thoroughly enjoying it. My camera is coming out more than usual, and I am reallly taking the time to critique my composition, and spend a few seconds longer composing a shot. I have so many photos that when I look back at have really bad composition; a cut of foot or hand. Far too many portraits and not enough story telling I have also noticed.
I am also prone to underexpose my photos knowing that I can lighten in photoshop. All photos we submit for assignments cannot be edited in any way; I am learning a lot!
Is anyone else who reads my blog taking her course, or has in the past?

I also have a new subject to photograph, in Suki. A break for the girls at times, and a good way to improve photographing  a moving target, LOL.



Lots of photos have been taken this weekend,  as I have been working on my shutter speed assignment.
I will share tomorrow as I am on my laptop, so here is a photo of Suki as I cannot resist sharing...

Today we took Suki to Hitchinbrooke Park where she enjoyed playing in the lake, took to swimming like a true Springer Spaniel!
We ended the day with another BBQ; pork steaks, JP's and salad all washed down with a Magners, mmmmm.

Hope your weekend was as good as ours.
Thanks for stopping by

    I have no idea how to use photoshop or anything technical,so my pics are always straight out of the camera,unfortuntely.
    All karens jargon is starting to sound like chinese to me.
