Hi All,

Just starting out here in the UK, armed with an Olympus E500, a couple of Lenses and a tripod. Also attended an interesting course on Compostion - very interesting. Now looking to put into practice, so...

Looking for interesting places to photograph in Lincolnshire (or beyind) I have been to Burghley House near Stamford, which is local to me (Pictures following soon) and soon to visit Lincoln to capture the Cathedral from the Castle. Rockingham Castle with the Historic battles may be good too.

Have you been somewhere interesting? Any friendly advice, pointers and or locations gratefully received.

Thanks

Survived Sleep over and had a good week. Wow - did I just write that?

Anyway, finished the weekend off with attending a course on Photography - Composition; Just need to learn how to work the darn thing next!

Well just not totally hopeless but learning to use the DSLR I bought properly. Who knows in weeks to come I may inflict some of my compositions here!

#1 Survived work! Phew ... if only someone spots I don't know what I'm doing ...  :)

No the real #1 is no2 daughter celebrated her 13th this week, and tonight she's having a party and we'll have to survive a sleepover ...

#2 ... The Sloe Vodka prepared last year is now ready, and we bottled (and sampled - hiccup) it this week. Its was really easy to do and tastes great. Doing the same with Cherries; I know it should be brandy, but we like the fact that you can get the flavour of the fruit without it being overpowered by the drink's flavour ... for example Sloe Gin.

#3 ... Not made any progress on my writing, but made quite a bit of progress on writing a program for myself that stores all my DVD information.

oh and ... enjoyed watching Jericho and Changing wall paper this week

Last Christmas (2007).

First time I can remember everyone being fit and well for Christmas. Children still young enough to get excited, but old enough for us to negotiate a later 'wake-up' time ... okay 06:30 is getting better in my book!

My wife and I did a good job (we think) getting our three children what they wanted for Christmas.

It was a great family day, enjoying each others company.
