Photography Update

The ACE photography course has made me look closely at the areas in and around Milton Keynes recently. I have had to consider all sorts of “technical” concepts in getting the best out of my camera. However, I am really enjoying the projects I have to undertake. It can be a bit of pressure, especially the week where we were tasked with producing 9 images.

One of the projects I had to do was to use a different lens to the normal one I use. At first, I found this quite challenging, and was ready to ebay the lens.  I soon found  I was wishing for my standard zoom lens at all the versatility of the 12-6omm zoom. Yet after a day or two of use, I was really impressed with the performance of the lens, and I know it will get a lot more outings than I had previously considered.

The images in this blog were from the 9-18mm wide angle lens and were taken at Sharpenhoe Clappers in Bedfordshire and Old Hatfield.

I also tried my hand at black and white photography, and some of the results are beginning to appear in the gallery.

More images can be seen on the ACE Photography Course pages in the Gallery section.
