I thought that this was a fairly recent pic but when I looked closer I saw that it was taken over four years ago with an iPhone 6. Time flies!

In a neighbouring village there is a country park where we often go for a walk. Today the light was interesting and we took a few photos. Here are the results.

We’re back to portraits today and it’s almost time to select the best of my best as I many other photographs to show you. I think eventually I’ll have to pick about 10 in each category otherwise it will be a very large portfolio.

When I’ve filled each category I’ll make my final choice and then just add further photographs in a Travel section as I continue to travel.

Nature and Wildlife require skill and good lenses. These are not necessarily the photos I would have liked to present to you although there are one or two that I am rather fond of.

Flower

Continuing my exploration of online portfolios and WordPress Themes here is a close-up of a flower from my collection.

With a bit of luck this should automatically post to my Facebook Page rather than me having to cut and paste the link and insert into post on my feed.

This is far from perfect but probably the best I’m going to get.

If this works then I’ll invite more people to my new Facebook page (Graham’s Favourites).

Wordpress Themes

November 21, 2018Posted in Article, Blogging, General, Photography, ThoughtsTagged Blogging, Photography, Thoughts1 Comment

I just can’t seem to find the WordPress theme I want for my blog. I’ve used two over the past week or so and neither really gives me satisfaction.

I’ve been adding to the Portfolio section of this blog and updating simultaneously through a blog post. The portfolio section seems ok but as the blog posts are essentially image driven they seem badly displayed and stuck to each other.

I hope you don’t mind if I experiment some more. Ideally I’d like to cross post to Facebook but that isn’t working really well either.

If you have any ideas please do let me know.

Low Light photos

These are some of my favourite low light photographs. It’s not a genre easy to shoot but the latest iPhones do a very good job otherwise its a bit of a fluke success unless it’s planned in advance. This is a mix of the two.
