Overnight it snowed and so on the 24th of January there were more photo opportunities.
The inevitable snow scene (to remind you all what Derbyshire looks like) but in this case I managed to capture the sunlight on the hills.
It's a shame about Tony's roof in the bottom right corner, still a little work in the digital darkroom will solve this without having actually to pull his house down!
By the time I'd taken a trip into Bakewell a lot of the snow had gone; there was certainly no sign of any there, still everyone living in Derbyshire has to take a photo of this town, so here's my contribution.
What I've got, as mentioned in a previous post, is this rather nice digital camera and I've been discovering a bit about how to take proper pictures, what with my professional contacts in the industry able to guide me.
It seems sensible to me, then, to publish on the blog any which have worked out OK. What we're looking for, of course, is not quick snaps of babies, etc. but pictures which are heading towards artistic quality; pictures which make you want to look at them. Feel free to comment on what you like and don't like but remember that I prefer comments of a generally optimistic nature!
So let's start with one taken on 23 Jan in the early evening. It was actually getting pretty dark and so I used a 10 second exposure and shot from a low angle to achieve the lighting and framing I wanted.

Like Mother like Child?
OK, having spotted the odd one out, how about match the baby to the Mother. Alright, so you may already know which one is which but how about trying to match the one that LOOKS like the mother!
Of course, what would be really good would be to get some photos of the fathers at a similar age!

Dear me, I can't cope with all this user friendly stuff! Why won't it let me just do what I want?
Any-road-up, apparently I've ordered a new sofa. I'm not quite sure what happened; I went to order a specific one in a particular finish and ended up ordering a different one in a different finish!
This is just one of those things we men have to live with!
