Lots of photography

I had a day off today and managed to get lots of photography excercises done.  I'm a bit behind in uploading to this blog, but will try to catch up at the weekend.  Meanwhile, I'm very excited to say that I managed to get a flare or two today!  But goodness, I couldn't see anything very well for a few minutes after taking the photos!  Here's one.

Some photos using panning

I'm pleased to say that being on this course has already affected the way I take my everyday family shots.  These are two where I tried panning instead of my usual 'must choose a really fast shutter speed to freeze the motion' technique.
