Best Laid Plans…

Today I’m heading back down to London for the ‘Mattering Life’ Programme.  So thinking I had everything planned, guess what?? Yes, the coach broke down!! I’m nervous enough about travelling but this really threw me.  Judging by the reaction of the other passengers, perhaps I wasn’t the only one with travel anxiety.  There were some pretty cross people aboard the coach.  I really didn’t envy the driver having to make peace with everyone.

When I got on the coach I was happy because my case was nicely stacked.  I am bringing my camera kit with some of my best lenses for the workshops so I was concerned that heavy cases on top of mine could be problematic.  On the first coach I was pleased as this didn’t seem like it was going to be an issue.  I was also really pleased to be giving my new camera strap an outing.  My daughter bought me a new strap with my Instagram handle ‘Secret Shutter’ written on it. However, now sitting on the replacement coach I’m just hoping that my case hasn’t been squashed!  It is a hard case so here’s hoping everything will be okay.

Killing Time

In order to help the time pass more quickly I decided to experiment with some slow shutter photography on my phone.  I use an app to lengthen the shutter speed.  My expectations weren’t great but I was quite pleased with some of the results.
