Photography

My passions include many crafting subjects but as my passion for Scrapbooking grew so did my passion for great photo's, which then led onto wanting to know more about the Why's and How's of photography; well it would be fair to say I am still trying to work all of those out but I wanted to share a picture with you that I took on the train on the way home on Friday - I was playing around with the shutter speed and the aperture on my camera and managed to get this shot
I loved it - it was just what I was aiming for; Kiesha's reflection but I still wanted the blur of the trees so you could tell the train was moving, it was quite tricky as it was dependant on getting it in between the sun being behind the trees and actually waiting for there to be trees there!

The Door

I have been working hard today but mainly on the computer which does not make for very good reading I know, but it is such an integral part of the business. I have also created some more projects but ones that I cannot show you just yet.... Ooh I know so much secrecy but it is all for the greater good and I know that when the next issue of the Magazine comes out you will all be loving the projects so it is happy days! I wanted to share this picture with you that I took while at Ripley Castle when we went to Harrogate the weekend before last, I adore pictures like this and every time I look at it I have a curiosity to want to know what is behind that door! And with my imagination I could then create a whole world just from the picture of that door and that is how I would tell Kiesha stories when she was younger and occasionally still today, books are fab but your own made up stories can be just as good if not better! Better still is if you create your own story book with the characters of the story being your children with their pictures etc... It is something that is great fun to make, loads of fun to read and a keepsake that you will treasure forever.
