The snap in the air seems to have progressed to full autumnal chill.
I stepped out this morning with jumper and coat, expecting to be surprised and swelter as it looked so sunny outside, but was soon zipping up my coat and forcing the kids to walk more briskly to generate some heat. Still, as long as its sunny, I don’t mind the autumn – it’s the thought of dreary days ahead which makes my heart sink a little.
Its not just my mood that suffers when the light is low. I feel like I’ve hardly picked up my camera the last few weeks and I want to get back into the habit of it, without the inspiration or enthusiasm to go with it.
Worse, I seem to be filling up the memory card with photographs, then having to discard all of them due to basic stupid errors such as camera shake, poor focus and dismal composition – all of which are exacerbated by the poor light conditions. Not so good when I’m supposed to be writing photography tips for the Fotonomy blog. Don’t do what I do guys, do what I say.
But today I went out (not far, just my back garden) with a tripod and a plan. I took a total of eight photographs and I was pleased with three of them. Maybe I’ve broken past my photographer’s block.
Now all I have to do is keep the momentum going. Oh, and get back on track with the tip writing.

I went out this morning and got wet. :o)
Although it seemed more like a summer’s rain, it didn’t seem too bad. Although when it got to about 7ish this evening it turned really cold.
brrrrrrr.

At least you have some ripe tomoatoes – I don’t think my plants produced 10 ripe ones, so its green tomato chutney for the next activity in my kitchen!
