3rd - I was notified by Smooth Radio that I had
won ticket to the North home show taking place in Manchester
17th – I received an e-mail from Creative Tourist
informing me that I had won a Photography Course with North West
Photography.
Taken 26th July- I arrived at the Pack Horse Inn
at Birtle near Rawtenstall where the course was to take place and was greeted
by one of the course instructors. Gradually
the other participants and another instructor arrived and introductions and
explanation of the course took place over coffee and biscuits.
The course was billed as being for people who enjoy their
photography but rarely use anything other than their automatic settings. We had a brief explanation of how to best use
aperture settings and shutter speeds. We
also had a chat about changing the ISO settings and adjusting the autofocus
settings.
We then set off for a walk in the countryside with a chance to put the theory into practice. My close up work using a narrower depth of field seems to have improved, let’s see if I can keep it up.
24th – I also won two hours of Wi-Fi when travelling
Cross Country Rail. Not sure this will get used.
