First signs of spring and a new beginning for my site

Hello again to everybody still persevering with my blog after almost 2 years of photography posts.  I’ve finally managed to transfer my blog to a self hosted domain, so now you can look forward to a more personalised look to my blog with some important new features like video posts soon to materialise.

I’m still ironing out some kinks with the transfer so do bear with me if you encounter any problems with the new layout.

Now I’m armed with new my new camera and website, I’m going to be spending a lot more time in front of my computer getting to grips with video editing and tinkering with web design.  So in order to make the most of some free time during a rare bout of decent weather, I thought I’d go looking for some delayed signs of the onset of this year’s disappointing spring.

And in fairness, I don’t think I did awfully bad.

I’ve decided to mess about with the shots of a tadpole that I found in our garden pond in Photoshop, because it’s good for a bit of practice, which I’m sure that  you can see I’m in some need of.  So please do forgive for breaking one of my own cardinal rules of photography by overindulging in some crass photo editing, but I can assure you that this shall remain a rare occurrence.

The rest are all straight out of the camera though, and I’ve even uploaded them in higher resolution to enhance your viewing pleasure and make the most of another benefit of self hosting my blog- the fact I don’t have to worry about running out of space with wordpress.com anymore.

Anyways, I hope that you enjoy the shots, alongside the new and hopefully improved website.

Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions.
