Been feeling a bit Christmassy and with the decorations up everywhere I thought it would be a great opportunity to take photos of colour. Within the space of 5 minutes I’d been stopped by 3 people all wanting to know what I was doing. I thought it was obvious, having my camera! I was spending a lot of time pointing my camera up at the decorations and one girl said she couldn’t see anything to take a photo of. I explained about my OCA course, but she still seemed unsure. It got me thinking how TAOP has really helped me to tune into my surroundings, but also that it’s a shame that people are so busy rushing around that they fail to see what’s around them.

Great shot, stunning blue. It is surprising how the course helps you develop an ability to see a shot, I am amazed how many photos I now take compared with say a year ago. I was out Sat for a short walk and to snap a few things around a local Loch, I guessed I’d taken 70ish photos. When I loaded them to my PC it turned out to be around 160. I kept on clicking because I was trying to catch birds in flight and managed to get some good shots, you can see a couple of samples on my recent blog update.

Like the lights, been thinking of trying something similar with our city lights but I don’t think they share this dazzling blue. I’ve recently started the AOP and dived feet first into a blog, inspired by your example which I found via the OCA pages. So thanks for the help and good luck with assignment 1 – I particulaly like the drawing pins.
