Promoting Myself

Apart from the tuition day at Cameraworld on Saturday 27th November, I will be at a few other events in the area promoting my tuition and generally being there to chat to. These are as follows:

Sunday 28th November - Essex Wildlife Trust, Hanningfield Reservoir, Christmas Crafts Day.

Sunday 5th December - Billericay Town Christmas Market.

Saturday 11th December - Friends of Brentwood School Christmas Fayre.

Sunday 12th December - Essex Wildlife Trust, Bedfords Park, Family Christmas Event.

At all these events I will be able to chat to you about tuition and take orders for Gift Vouchers, so just pop along and say 'hello'.

Here are a few photos of fungi that I've taken during this Autumn, which has been especially good for toadstools, and many of the workshop and 1-2-1 tuition participants enjoyed grubbing about on the floor taking their pictures!

Hugh's Fish Fight

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is campaigning to end the senseless waste of fish caught in the North Sea - half of all fish caught are thrown back in the water, dead.

Whilst I rarely eat fish these days, I'm happy to support this cause, as such an unsustainable way of fishing has got to stop at some point, whether it's out of choice or not...

Cameraworld Tuition Day

I'm going to be at Cameraworld in Chelmsford again on Saturday 27th November 2010, for another free advice and tuition day. If you've got any questions you'd like to ask me in person, come along and ask away! Details are here. As an added bonus, there will also be a presence by Canon with demos of their cameras and printers.

And as I haven't posted any photos for a little while, I think I should now. On Sunday I was at Thorndon Park giving some 2-to-1 tuition with Tony and Simone, a lovely couple of Pentax users who were delighted to discover just how weatherproof their cameras are. We came across some beautiful pines amongst the dead bracken, and the soft lighting which accompanied the rain was perfect for allowing all the texture to be captured.

The weather-sealing has come in handy recently. ;-)
