Yesterday I went to High Wycombe to celebrate my Sister-In-Law's 30th birthday. The best bit was that my little nephew has finally started calling me "Taya Abu". This is a specific name for my relation to him in Urdu - as I'm the older Brother to his Dad. I'm really pleased as it's the last relation name he's learned.

You've got a good eye.
I had my final photography course session yesterday, we met up earlier than usual and took advantage of the lighter evenings to take some pictures outside the classroom environment. We all met up at South Cerney on Bow Wow Road ( what a great name ) where there are some lovely arches that go across an old railway line which is now a path.
Afterwards we had a wrap up of what we had learned and Simon the instructor on the course said I had a good eye- I was chuffed. He did add what I now needed to do was get myself a decent camera and lens. Before I started the course I was happy with them but as you learn more you start to understand the limitations.

Unexpected Pleasures!
Today was sunny and warm, spring has definitely arrived. The daffodils are out and some of the trees even have blossoms. Wonderful! I always love the first time the warmth of the sun touches you in spring, it's like an unexpected pleasure as it gives me a tingle of what's to come in the year, like a new beginning.

Taking Pictures in Public
Went on my first night shoot with the Photography course and it was interesting how many people came up to us to find out what we were doing. Their position was why are you taking pictures, after a quick explanation they were happy-ish. One of the things I've learned recently is that it is not an offence to take a picture in a public place, regardless of what anyone thinks. I'm not sure what I would do if I was challenged while taking pictures as I hate confrontation - apparently being challenged is getting more common so I'll find out soon.
