One, two, three, five… counting the steps down to the beach. Then splashing stones into the sea and running from the waves – all in woolly hats. Such lovely memories of our winter beach trip come back when I see my favourite family photo from January.
The best thing about it getting dark so early in winter is that you can see a sunset and even a sunrise with very little effort, and in between hours of gorgeous light on the lucky days that the sun is out! I just love playing with light and backlighting in camera, it can make a picture glow.
A 365 or photo-a-day photo project is a great way to get motivated to get out there and practise photography every day, and I try to find something different and interesting to photograph – usually my twins’ latest antics though sometimes other subjects get a look in. At the end of year I have a unique record of the small changes in our family, a photo for every day of the year! Here is my selection for January 2014 here.
