I am going to throw myself into a photography project. One that doesnt require too much skill but will get me using my camera and perhaps get me out and about. I think 100 Snapshots is probably the way to go. I have been an inactive member of this community on Livejournal for years and have never contributed for one reason or another. Now is a good time to start!
The rules are fairly simple, there is a list of 100 words which can be interpreted and represented by the particiant in any way they wish. The list does not have to be done in order but the photos must be taken for the project, no previous pictures can be used (and you can't use anyone else's pictures either!). You should post your progress onto the LJ community page - I'm not sure if i will participate there yet, I think I will be posting here only.
The list is under the cut. I think until I get familiar with the list it will be hard to remember what is on there so I will have to keep reffering to it and it wont be as natural for me to find shots. I will probably have to have set ideas for what I want to do for the first ones.

Photography Course
I have booked myself onto a photography course. I think this is the only way forward for me. I tried reading the manual and trying things out but I can't seem to make it sink in enough so that I understand it. I need to be shown and I need to be able to ask questions.
The course was a bit of a bargain actually. It is with a company called Frui who are based in London and through Groupon they were doing an offer of a course for 3.5 hours for £35. It's specifically for new DSLR users so I think it will be perfect.
It has been quite popular so I may have to wait to actually go on the course - especially as they only do 8 people at a time. This is good though, I wouldn't want to be in a large class.
I need to get off that auto setting!

York: Day Three
Our final day. Weather was a bit hit and miss but generally we managed to avoid the showers. We visited the Micklegate Bar, this Gladiator thing, had lunch on the Shambles and went to the Barley Hall to try on hats - during this mother of a thunderstorm!

York: Day Two
On Day Two we hit up the Minster after breakfast at Betty's. We then took a wander down the Shambles and visited the York Dungeons and the Jorvick Center. We had dinner at Loch Fyne - which was an interesting experience and took a walk on another part of the York City Wall. We also visited the Terrys Chocolate Factory but that will be detailed in a different post.
49 - Terry's Chocolate Factory
Again, this building was large and made up of more than one building so I have included more than one photograph.
48 - York Minster
As the Monster is so immense I had trouble selecting one picture to represent it, so I have included 4....
