Happy New Year!

Well 2020 has passed and 2021 is here now. There are a lot of people saying “good riddance” to 2020 but it will always be the year I fulfilled the first part of my dream and started my business.

I don’t do New Year Resolutions but I do embrace the concept of goals - without goals I find I wander aimlessly round the house wondering what to do.

So 2021 goals (feel free to hold me to these):

  • Move the business forward and set up some form of e-commerce

  • Continue with the blogs - they give me space to think about what has gone well and where I need to improve

  • Learn a new type of photography - that might be food or industrial - I’m not sure yet

  • Remember to take time to put the camera down occassionally and live in the moment rather in the view through the lens

Happy New Year - it’s been fun journeying with you all in 2020, I look forward to journeying further with you in 2021.

P.S. I got that shot I wanted!!!!!!

What can you do with a phone?

Well that depends on your phone really but most mobile phones (cell phones) come with good camera feature these days.

The photograph above was taken using my mobile (Honor 9) using the basic setting, the sun was in my eyes so it really was a case of point and shoot and hope!

Sometimes those shots are best, don’t overthink, just go with your instinct.

Of course it’s worth checking out what settings you mobile has - mine has a pro shot setting to adjust ISO and exposure but I rarely use that.
