june already?

Hello and welcome back,

I think its safe to say that the new years resolution has gone out the window! As I'm still very new to the world of blogging, I am still finding it difficult to get in to a routine and sit down and write something. Its not like I don’t have anything to write about either! catching up on my posts I can see that I have haven't mentioned the Wedding workshop that I attended in Salcombe or what I have been up to with the new kit that I brought, also and probably most importantly how I got on with the Plymouth Half Marathon :)

Well lets start with the 13 mile 'stroll' I did on the 29th May, I have mentioned that I was going to be talking part in an effort to get some level of fitness back. So I stopped training about 3 weeks before the race, as I couldn’t find the time to get out and run, not running the distance before I thought it was going to be tough but reflecting on it now it didn’t seem to bad and would almost describe it as pleasurable. I had no goal other than to finish the run and not to walk sections like others were doing. Going from my usual pace I was averaging on other runs it was about 10 minutes a mile which gave me a rough guide of 2 hours and 15 minutes. I paced myself very well and managed to get in a better time of 2 hours and 10 minutes :)

I know this doesn't have much to do with photography but what the hell I spend a load of time out running in the countryside.

So back to Photography, I have been asked to do a few weddings and in the past have always turned them down as I did not feel I have the experience to be able to do them. That’s why I went to Bangwallop Studios in Salcombe for a 2 day wedding workshop with Lorna Yabsley, had a really good weekend and chatting to an experienced wedding photographer about weddings they have attended and how things have gone wrong and how they have become stronger from those experiences. 

Gotta shoot off now, but I will do another few posts talking about it all I promise!
