2012 - a new year and new challenges

Well, Mrs C and I (plus friends) went to Stamford in Lincolnshire for the New Year weekend, staying at the Bull and Swan (an old 16C inn with friendly staff, good food and excellent rooms).  Anyway, on the way there we stopped off at Peterborough and visited the cathedral.  This is an amazing structure and having paid my £3 photography fee, I was able to roam all over the place soaking up the atmosphere as well as trying to capture the Norman / Medieval architecture with my trusty Panasonic.

However the challenge was the low light - and no tripod !  Ever the resourceful, I improvised using tops of tombs, old wooden tables etc - and the results are fine........the odd jaunty angle but interesting all the same !




And the challenges for 2012......well getting my LRPS in March would be great personal achievement - we shall see !

Happy New Year to you all
