November Roundup
November started off in great style with a course in Cumbria lasting three days. It was run by the Annabel Willams Studio CPT. Great course and fantastic trainers. Made new friends with like minded people whom I will keep in touch with. It is great when we all share the same enthusiasm. I recall going on courses in my Corporate days when it was an order to go. Maybe the guy despatching us then was also under orders but the motivation is not the same for the delegates. I will definitely be returning to the Studio - it is just a matter of when. We were lucky to have escaped the bad flooding which the county is still suffering from so badly.
Next on the list for November was a portrait session which went well. The main reason for the session was a framed picture for a Christmas present. What a good idea ! There were three people to be photographed but not all together. I had thought to shoot outdoors as I love ambient light but the light was going and the weather uncertain so I opted to play safe.
Finally I assisted at a lovely wedding in Essex of Katie and James. I suppose I could have been called the lighting gaffer and used a really useful video light. I learnt a lot from Jeff who incidentally I met on the course in Cumbria and that experience will stand me well for when I do my own shoots probably january onwards. I do need Santa to be good to me as never feel I have enough equipment. Maybe he will read my Blog or maybe I am turning into an equipment junkie !
