The Roaches

The Burton Photographic Society had a visit to the Roaches, a beautiful area near Leek, on Saturday 25th July, and Steve, Suzy, Eric and myself joined them for a ‘little walk’.

After picking up the team, Steve took us to the Priory Centre at Stretton where we met some of the others from the Society. After waiting for any others to join us we headed for the Roaches.

Julian was our guide and he took us up to see some amazing views from the Roaches, and then down to see a hidden church.

Below are some of my images from the day:

There are some characters you see on your travels

“What noise Eric ?, just move back a little more !”

Then it was a case of going from the highs of the Roaches, to the lows of Lud Church:

Thanks again to the team for another good day out with some good friends !

Course Review and Closure

Again I have enjoyed another photographic course at the college, working with a good team of people, having a few laughs along the way and learning new ideas, culminating with my final grades which are shown below.

This time I have been working in the photographic studio at the Burton College, which is very different to what I am used to, working on two projects one product photography and the other portrait photography.  I found both projects very interesting, and in particular with the portrait photography where I photographed the other photographers on the course, I enjoyed the challenges and I hope that sometime in the future, when some of my friends become more well known they can look back at my portraits of them.

With the receipt of my certificate for this course with the following results:

Module	Code	Grade
Photography	306	Distinction
Presentation	211	Credit

this closes this course.

Many thanks to Steve Davies (Mr Steve), Jim, Steve Bright, Suzy, Eric, Ruth, Rebecca, Pippa and Joe for all their support on this course.

See you on the next course !

or Paws for thought

Well, after loosing our precious Becky last year, which devastated us and many people we know, and many who we did not, we visited a farm yesterday and one extra came back !

 

Meet Enya

Ok, she sleeps a lot !

She has been introduced to these odd shaped boxes that sometimes flash, and she will be my new model for Pet Photography, as long as she keeps them sharp puppy teeth to herself !

We will never forget our beautiful Becky xx
