I never cease to be amazed at what I learn from actually doing. When I came out of my house this morning to get into my car the sky was a stunning, bright blue.

I invested in a couple of Sony lenses
I bought a couple of new Sony lenses in Cork at the weekend. I had purchased a Sony a6000 camera on eBay from Japan and I am led to believe, after a good bit of research, that the Sony a6000 is a great camera for a beginner photographer. I am looking forward to learning by… Continue reading I invested in a couple of Sony lenses
Telling stories with pictures

I will take it at my own pace without any great expectations or goals. But it would be nice to be able to… Continue reading Dabbling in photography
Combining two interests: baking and photography
I baked some sourdough bread with black and green olives this morning. Look at the photographs below. It turned out well and I am looking forward to getting stuck into the bread when it cools down. Taking photographs of bread that I bake allows me to combine two interests of mine: baking and photography. I… Continue reading Combining two interests: baking and photography
Storytelling with images
I like the idea of telling stories with images. Let me explain. I have had an on/off relationship with learning how to take decent photographs. This started when I first started online marketing and the need to take an acceptable, professional profile image of myself. Then, when I started messing about on the Instagram platform… Continue reading Storytelling with images
