I've mentioned it on my blog before, but I now have a specific web page for my One to One (1-2-1) personal photo tuition. A link's shown along the bottom menu bar, but for now you can click here.
Although I cater for all brands of camera, from Minolta to Sony, Nikon to Canon, Olympus to Leica, my personal preference is Pentax. Don't let that put you off if you don't use Pentax, I can still offer advice and guidance to your specific requirements, it's just that usually all you see when a workshop or tuition is advertised is "EOS approved" or "Hands on Nikon". I'm more like "Pick up a Pentax"...
So as the number of Pentax users increases, due to the stunning bodies they produce at an even more stunning price (<£300 for the K100D and around £475 for the K10D, both with a 'kit' lens), there are going to be more people looking to get to grips with their new camera. If you happen to be near to Essex, I'm your man - with 4 years experience of running workshops, both with Essex Wildlife Trust and Havering Adult College, I can address your needs and get you on the road to photographic heaven!

Thorndon Workshop 17/11/07
So here's some 'further news'! I have booked in another 'Photography in the Park' Workshop at the Essex Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre at Thorndon Park, Brentwood, Essex, on Saturday 17th November 2007.
These photographic workshops cover apertures, focal lengths, exposure and composition, as well as looking at the equipment I find useful for photography in nature reserves and country parks. The morning is spent indoors, with a discussion and slideshow to illustrate the effect of lens choice, different apertures, and ways to compose your images, then we go out in the afternoon to put ideas into practice, and get hands-on with any specific queries you have.
It's a fun day, and at a bargain price of just £25, but you'll need to book soon to avoid missing out on this, which is probably my last workshop this year. Ring Thorndon Park Visitor Centre on 01277 232944 to secure your place.

I've added some dates for workshops in 2008 (all at Fingringhoe Wick at the moment, Thorndon dates to follow), details of these are, naturally enough, on my Workshops page.

New Canvasses
I mentioned in an earlier post that I had a Blackthorn Blossom image printed to canvas, which was on sale at 'New Art Prints'. Well, that canvas has been sold, so I've replaced it with two more (shown below), as well as a few prints (also shown below).
The canvasses are of a Teasel head and a Fern leaf laying across a rock, both square images, printed to 16" x 16" size.
The prints are a small selection, including moss, common blue butterflies, the ever popular Oak Tree and a cobweb.
So that visitors to the gallery can see a wider selection of my photos, I produced a small catalogue for them to look through.
Once again, for those interested in seeing these prints, the gallery's address is:
New Art Prints
Unit 43
Barleylands Craft Village
Barleylands Road
Billericay
Essex
CM11 2UD
Look out for the sign for 'Terra Fusion' framers, with which New Art Prints art gallery shares a unit.
