Although I was not covering the event for a magazine (I have previously covered triathlones and duathlones for magazines such as Triathlete's World), this road race was on my doorstep, so had to get out there and get some photographs of the runners in the race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The race took place on Sunday 22nd May 2011, starting at The Sports Ground next to the former Cadbury's factory, Somerdale, Keynsham.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From here, after doing laps of the field and grounds of the factory, they headed up to the High Street and then into Charlton Road, which is where I first caught up with them. The runners the headed out of the town and then down Redlynch Lane to the small village of Chewton Keynsham, before heading back towards Keynham.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once they had all passed me, I decided to switch from the road to the park, to get a different look to the images. I had my six year old apprentice with me too, so she planted herself on a bench, applauding every single runner as they passed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the runners back in the town, the course took them down Steel Mills, over Dapps Hill bridge and into Keynsham park. Avoiding Ducks on route, they continued through the main park, exiting the other side before then heading down Cadbury’s main drive to the finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how they felt, but I was tired just trying to keep up with then and take photos around the course. I was great to see lots of smiling faces as they noticed the camera, dispite having just run 9k out of 10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/facebook/10krun02.jpg" border="0" alt="Smiling faces of some of the runners at the Keynsham 10k Road Race, by Andrew Wells of AJW Photography"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can check out some more of the photos on &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajwphotography/sets/72157626691625705/" target="_blank"&gt;my Flickr site&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajwphotography/sets/72157626691625705/" target="_blank"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with lots of events happening over the year, I hope to be out there again soon, so if you see me, don't forget to smile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrew&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=ajwphoto"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pub=ajwphoto"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit us online:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/ajwphoto" target="_blank" name="Official Facebook Page for Andrew Wells of AJW Photography"&gt;Official Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/" target="_blank" title="Official web site for Andrew Wells of AJW Photography"&gt;Main Web Site - ajwphoto.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajwphotography/" target="_blank"&gt;View our Flickr page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://twitter.comajwphotography" target="_blank" name="AJW Photography Twitter Page"&gt;Join in and Follow me on twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/505160076369390294-1674499972320748118?l=ajwphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ajwphotography.blogspot.com/feeds/1674499972320748118/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=505160076369390294&amp;postID=1674499972320748118' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/505160076369390294/posts/default/1674499972320748118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/505160076369390294/posts/default/1674499972320748118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ajwphotography.blogspot.com/2011/05/shooting-runners-in-keynsham-10k-road.html' title='&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Shooting runners in the Keynsham 10k Road Race 2011&lt;/div&gt;'/><author><name>Andrew Wells</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14141695364212239696</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_AOFXygvVFTY/SA4MW0gpS_I/AAAAAAAAAAM/FLB8jwVbS8Q/S220/Andrew-150.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505160076369390294.post-3845800059197031062</id><published>2011-02-18T06:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-05-27T09:21:09.887-07:00</updated><title type='text'>10 Things to do with the kids this Half Term</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/facebook/top10.jpg" border="0" alt="10 Things to do with the kids this Half Term in and Around Bristol, Bath and the South West by Photographer Andrew wells of AJW photography"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10 Things to do with the kids this Half Term in and Around Bristol, Bath and the South West&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually heard one of the mums at our kids school say the other day "I can't wait until Half Term". Now I don't know about you, but it's not a phrase I or a lot of parents use. True, you do get to spend time with the kids and it is an excuse to go out, but for many, it's juggling jobs and child care or worse still, struggling to find them something to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm guessing by the way, that the mum in question was more stressed over getting the kids to school and the long walks four times a day, given that one of the children is in my daughters nursery class and so only does mornings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, with half term approaching fast, we are already putting our thinking caps on to how to entertain 2 young kids, without spending a fortune and thought I would share this with you. Do feel free to add your own suggestions on &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ajwphotography"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol type="1"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visit Wells&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, so it is my surname, but that's not the reason. The smallest city in England, location to Hot Fuzz the movie and has a lot of history. My 6 year old loved the cathedral, which only asks a donation for entry, so doesn't cost the earth to go in. Get there on Market day and Bag a bargain, plus don't forget the Fudge Shop on the Corner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.visitsomerset.co.uk/site/explore-somerset/towns-and-villages/wells-p500273" target="_blank"&gt;Visit Somerset tourism site for Wells&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you go to the woods today...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many different things to do in the woods, from going for a simple stroll, spotting wildlife or even meditating or painting/photographing the ever-changing scenery. The Woodlands trust even have some activity packs on their web site for the kids, along with a searchable Database so that you can find your local woods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/en/visit-woods/Pages/visitwoods.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Go to Woodland trust Web Site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Roman Baths&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have recently been back to the Roman Baths in Bath and they have made a lot of improvements, so  you can spend a lot of time there, including detailed audio commentary by Dr Alice Roberts for the adults and special characters for the Kids. The great thing too if you are a resident of B&amp;amp;NES, you can get in FREE with the Free Residents card&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.romanbaths.co.uk" target="_blank"&gt;Roman Baths Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/leisureandculture/museumsandgalleries/Pages/Discovery%20Card.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Discovery Card Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Royal Victoria Park, Bath&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always loved this place and love taking the kids there. The Botanic Gardens are beautiful, the Dell a nice quiet stroll, The Children's play area, which keeps on getting better, the Fish and duck pond and several geocache's to guide you around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://isharemaps.bathnes.gov.uk/mybathnes.aspx?MapSource=Bathnes/ParksOpenSpaces&amp;StartEasting=374013&amp;StartNorthing=165409&amp;StartZoom=592" target="_blank"&gt;More Information on The Royal Victoria Park&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go Geocaching&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are stuck with somewhere to go or something to do, Geocaching often takes you there. My Kids love it. What is it? Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the geocache. Best of all, it's Free and most modern smartphones have a built in GPS to use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.geocaching.com/about/default.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;More details on Geocaching Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visit a Museum or two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are lots of Museums out there, most are now free and most are also interactive, so great for the kids. Here are just a few I found, but a quick search on &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Free+Bristol+Bath+Museums" target="_blank"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; will bring up more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bristol Museum and Art Gallery&lt;/strong&gt; - Queen's Road&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.at-bristol.org.uk" target="_blank"&gt;At Bristol&lt;/a&gt; - Harbourside, Bristol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Georgian House&lt;/strong&gt; - 7 Great George Street, Bristol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fashion Museum&lt;/strong&gt;, Bath (Free with Residents Discovery Card)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discover Bristol's Pirate Past&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Discover Bristol's pirate past with a tour around the city's ancient harbour.

For the few years before I had been a keen enthusiast of the craft, but after shooting my brother's wedding and showing the results to friends, soon found commissions coming in for their weddings and portraits, plus commissions from their friends and families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then my career has snowballed and it had installed on me early on the importance of doing a great job and getting referrals from those that had used my services or had seen my work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we are, over 20 years later, having moved away and spent many years in North wales, back down in the South West, living in Keynsham, just a few miles from the City of Bath, where it all started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/facebook/businessman2.jpg" border="0" alt="commercial photography in bristol, bath and the south west by Andrew wells, AJW photography" align="right"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like the cities of Bath and Bristol, in my photography some things remain the same, whilst other things have changed since those days. My principles have remained, the client has to come first and if you do more than a good job, then the work will keep coming in, although the focus of the types of work I do has moved on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weddings are now something I tend to do for friends or people that know my work, rather than being the forefront of my photography, instead commercial commissions now accounts for a high volume of my work, where I have been able to specialise in providing imagery for businesses and the creative industries, which includes buildings, both inside and out, products, people and PR.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along the way I have met some great people and been very privileged to be involved in some exciting projects and see some fantastic developments. I've seen many new architectural creations and had the pleasure of photographing them in great detail, as well as meeting the amazing people behind them. Looking around the area, there appear to be some exiting developments happening now and in the future, so look forward to working with the team behind them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also worked with many a local and national organisation along the way, such as the publishers for N Power and the National Lottery, supermarket chains including One Stop and the Co-operative, plus many local and national charities. Most recently I was working with the charity ChildLine, who are now part of the NSPCC, and was honoured to meet and Photograph Esther Rantzen CBE, who is their Patron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/facebook/Untitled-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Event, portrait and commercial photography in Bristol, Bath and the South West by photographer Andrew wells of AJW photography"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our onsite studio for Events, including our live view and print system, has proved very popular as guests get to view all the images instantly. Prints are produced in just 30 seconds should they decide to purchase a photograph to take home. We have gone from having to look for events to being booked up 6 to 12 months in advance of an event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope to now replicate this success down in the southwest, so if you know anyone holding a Charity Ball, please pass on our details and we would be delighted to support their event at no charge and help them raise much needed money at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that remains the same is our passion for people and capturing their lives through lifestyle portraiture. Styles may have changed, but having such beautiful cities and local areas, there is no end to the creative portraits we can create on location, giving you more than just a photo of yourself or family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are of course new opportunities too and we have some exciting announcements coming up over the next couple of months, so keep a watch out for those and we look forward to a wonderful New Year&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at one of our sites to view our work and if you like what you see, feel free to get in touch, even if just to have a chat, or maybe share this blog with someone you know.

The end point is up at Alpine Lodge at Llandudno Ski Centre, so the is quite a climb to the top, but the views are worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the start we walk along to and on to the pier, passing the hustle and bustle of the slot machines, bouncy castles and Victorian styled shops. You can choose to walk to the end of the pier if you wish, before exiting on to marine Drive and up in to Happy Valley. We head up in to the lower part of Happy Valley, taking in the The Camera Obscura, our first views over the town and the pier, before heading into the formal gardens and hidden sculptures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the top of Happy Valley is Llandudno Ski Centre and it’s just a few minutes walk on a well worn path to fantastic views over the town from the Iron Age hill fort of Pen Dinas. Now it’s down to the Alpine Lodge to meet up with everyone, don’t forget to wave and say hi to those in the cable cars as the pass over you head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Walk is Free, just buy your own refreshments at the end if you wish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And any level of experience can join us, using anything from a compact point and shoot camera to the latest DSLR (or anything in between)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To Join us, you must register (For Free) on the official site&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/llandudno-wales-united-kingdom/" target="_blank"&gt;http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/llandudno-wales-united-kingdom&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will set up a Flickr group for you and all the walkers to share their photos with one another, which is a great way for everyone to share what they captured during the Photo Walk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walkers who want to enter the contest can submit their single best image from your our walk and the winner will receive their choice of The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book for Digital Photographers or The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers, and will also be in the running for the Grand Prize!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please invite all your friends and remember the walk has a Maximum of 50 Walkers only.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/llandudno-wales-united-kingdom/" target="_blank"&gt;http://worldwidephotowalk.com/walk/llandudno-wales-united-kingdom/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="font: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Visit out &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/ajwphoto" target="_blank" name="Official Facebook Page for Andrew Wells of AJW Photography"&gt;Official Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/" target="_blank"&gt;Find out more about our event photography on our Web Site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=ajwphoto"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pub=ajwphoto"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/505160076369390294-6947588573219967264?l=ajwphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ajwphotography.blogspot.com/feeds/6947588573219967264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=505160076369390294&amp;postID=6947588573219967264' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/505160076369390294/posts/default/6947588573219967264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/505160076369390294/posts/default/6947588573219967264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ajwphotography.blogspot.com/2010/07/llandudno-photo-walk-24th-july-2010.html' title='Llandudno Photo Walk - 24th July 2010'/><author><name>Andrew Wells</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14141695364212239696</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_AOFXygvVFTY/SA4MW0gpS_I/AAAAAAAAAAM/FLB8jwVbS8Q/S220/Andrew-150.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505160076369390294.post-2459734743945925359</id><published>2010-05-17T03:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-17T03:50:15.349-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A great way to raise money for charity</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/tweet/Eventbanner2.jpg" border="0" alt="Exclusive Web offer for Winter Lifestyle Family Portraiture, North Wales - Photographer Andrew Wells - AJW Photography" width="550"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charity Balls are such a great way to raise money for your favorite cause. It's a win win situation really, you get to have a good time and the charity gets lots more dosh, something they really need in the current climate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have covered 2 events over the last 7 days, The Big Wig Ball which took place at Kinmel Manor Hotel, Abergele and was raising funds for the Wig and Head wear facility at The North Wales Cancer Service, Bodelwyddan, the other being the NSPCC Ball at Oriel House Hotel, St Asaph, to raise money for childline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Between them they have raised over £12,000 for Charity and I know that everyone at these events had a fantastic time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of this, the charities will now be remembered in the future, as one of the priorities for them was to have an event photographer. We don't charge them for being there, in fact we donated an auction prize to both, but as most guests went home with a photo, every time they look at it, they will be reminded of the great time they had at the function, which in turn reminds them about the charity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visual stimulants are so important with keeping people loyal to charities and many continue to support that charity for time to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More of our images can be viewed on our &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajwphotography/" target="_blank"&gt;Flickr&lt;/a&gt; page and all the images from the &lt;a href="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/bigwig2010/" target="_blank"&gt;Big Wig Ball&lt;/a&gt; can be found on our website at &lt;a href="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/bigwig2010/" target="_blank" title="The Big Wig Ball which took place at Kinmel Manor Hotel, Abergele and was raising funds for the Wig and Head wear facility at The North Wales Cancer Service, Bodelwyddan"&gt;http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/bigwig2010/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To book AJW photography for your event, contact us via our &lt;a href="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk" target="_blank" name="Official web site for Andrew Wells of AJW Photography"&gt;Web Site - ajwphoto.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Abergele-United-Kingdom/AJW-Photography/156142407301" target="_blank" name="Official Facebook Page for Andrew Wells of AJW Photography"&gt;Official Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt; and Become a Fan or &lt;a href="mailto:enquiries@ajwphoto.co.uk"&gt;email us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are just a few of the fantastic photographs taken at these two Charity Balls in North Wales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/tweet/AJW-NSPCC-078.jpg" border="0" alt="NSPCC Ball 2010, St Asaph, North Wales.

Last weekend we returned again to Howells Girls School, Denbigh, North Wales, for the students sixth form Winter Ball. For the students, this is a one off event, marking the end of their years at the school, many celebrating the success of exams and looking forward to the years ahead, whether at university, in a career or just taking time out from all their hard work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AJW Photography were there again to capture them in all their glory, ladies dressed up and looking glamourous in their Ball gowns, whilst the guys dress to impress in their tucks and black tie. For many, it was not only an opportunity to have fantastic images of them dressed up, it's also probably the last time they can get a great group shot with all their school fiends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As normal at these types of events, we take along our full studio with white background and studio lighting. Our camera is wirelessly linked to a computer system and they get to view the images instantly. They can then have them printed off in seconds on our Mitsubishi Di-sub printer, so they have the photographs to take away with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The great thing for Howells and most other schools, is that it costs the school nothing to have us there, we know the students will love our photos and will want to take copies home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was our 4th Ball at Howells School and we have already been booked again for the PTA's summer ball at the end of June, such is the demand to have us there.

In 2009 I celebrated my 40th birthday with my &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajwphotography/sets/72157622367589870/" target="_blank" name="View 40 to 40 project by Andrew wells of AJW photography"&gt;40 to 40 project&lt;/a&gt; - 40 photographs in 40 days, leading up to my 40th birthday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The start of 2010 see's me starting 2 new projects, the first of which is &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajwphotography/sets/72157623187620694/" target="_blank"&gt;&amp;quot;52 Weeks&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;. This will be a journey through 2010, each week focusing on something new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 1 of the New Year has started off cold and &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajwphotography/" target="_blank"&gt;Flickr&lt;/a&gt; must we overrun with images of the snow from photographers all over, and I was no exception. The temptation to get out there and recorded what was going on was just too great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My own journey took me around several locations in North Wales where I live, firstly a day out with the family in Betws-Y-Coed, then to the Denbigh Moors with it's frozen lakes and my kids posing for some winter portraits.

They looked much better on a nearby boulder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've called the final shot "Makka Pakka's Stones" after the Night Garden Character who likes to collect them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk/tweet/Day-17-MakkaPakkasRocks.jpg" border="0" alt="Photographer Andrew Wells - AJW Photography - 40 to 40 Project" hight="550"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="font: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

On the Wednesday I was at a networking event, talking to a Charity based in Colwyn Bay, about shooting a Calender for next year. On the Friday I was at a Charity Ball with nearly 300 guests and then on the Saturday we started shooting for another Calendar to raise money for Charity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AOFXygvVFTY/SEfSJUmjDgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/1pgT45Nz0LA/s1600-h/carden.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AOFXygvVFTY/SEfSJUmjDgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/1pgT45Nz0LA/s320/carden.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208362551668313602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Charity Ball was held at Carden Park in Cheshire, which means arriving at 5.30pm to set-up a studio on site before the Guests arrive. The next challenge was to try and get some shots for them to use in Cheshire Life, with only 30 minutes before they sat down to dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then it's the "Quiet before the storm". A few trickle out to the bar and have a few shots taken in "The Studio" between courses, one of which is the guy doing the announcements. 2 minutes later he's on the mic, talking about having his photo taken and holding up the print in his hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I get chance to do anything else, there's a queue of 20 people, waiting to have their picture taken. The reason for this is quite simple, we offer the guests not only the opportunity to have a picture taken in their ball gowns and black ties, but we add an element of fun and an experience to remember, so they can't help but show off their photo's. It also helps that they can see the results on screen straight away and even have a print in 30 seconds of choosing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ball finished at 1am, but the guests stayed a lot longer and we didn't finish until around 2.15.&lt;br /&gt;You can check out the images for the Precious Ball in our Events Section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AOFXygvVFTY/SEfSJkmjDhI/AAAAAAAAAAg/bxdeFp0dwYo/s1600-h/ocs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AOFXygvVFTY/SEfSJkmjDhI/AAAAAAAAAAg/bxdeFp0dwYo/s320/ocs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208362555963280914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Having gone to bed at 3.30am, it was only 3 hours until it was time to get up again and meet the girls for next years OCS Calendar. There are 22 girls who work for OCS and will be featured in the calendar in a "Calendar Girl" fashion, so as they work 7 days a week, the only time to get them all together was 7am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the lack of sleep, we got the first five months shot and are scheduling in the rest very soon, so watch this space to see the results and maybe support the charity by purchasing a calendar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it's all in the name of Charity &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;View More of my work at &lt;a href="http://www.ajwphoto.co.uk"&gt;www.ajwphoto.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/505160076369390294-6835484103050895256?l=ajwphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ajwphotography.blogspot.com/feeds/6835484103050895256/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=505160076369390294&amp;postID=6835484103050895256' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/505160076369390294/posts/default/6835484103050895256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/505160076369390294/posts/default/6835484103050895256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ajwphotography.blogspot.com/2008/06/all-in-name-of-charity.html' title='All in the name of Charity'/><author><name>Andrew Wells</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14141695364212239696</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_AOFXygvVFTY/SA4MW0gpS_I/AAAAAAAAAAM/FLB8jwVbS8Q/S220/Andrew-150.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AOFXygvVFTY/SEfSJUmjDgI/AAAAAAAAAAY/1pgT45Nz0LA/s72-c/carden.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505160076369390294.post-5043082768021198323</id><published>2008-04-22T08:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-22T09:00:45.774-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Photography'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='professional'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='advice'/><title type='text'>Why Bother Using a Pro?</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://www.ajw-photography.com/news/item-36586.jpg" border="0" align="left"&gt;With the modern age of Digital cameras that can take an almost foolproof photos, do you really need to get a professional photographer in to take some images for your business or of your family??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even in the field of Event photography at Society Balls, everyone around the table has a pocket sized, super-duper digital camera, so why pay a pro to do that job?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reality is that anyone can take a good picture these days, so often you can get away with your own images. The difference is that a Pro won't just take a picture, they will "Make" a Picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was talking this week to a Manager of a Golf Club and this very subject came up. His daughter is a budding Pro and with the same camera, he will take a picture which turns out ok, but she will make a picture and by his own admission, a hundred times better. Often it is the ability to see how a final image will look and have the knowledge and understanding on what changes to composition or lighting are needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a recent commission for Conwy County Borough Council's European unit, we needed to show an area of land that had received European funding to set-up access and facilities to the site. From a normal level, it just looked like any other field, so the answer was to take to the air and show the area from above, detailing all the access and how it linked in to the surrounding community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, last week I was doing a shoot for Carpet Scrub, based in North Wales, where the solution in creating something different and eye catching, was to get on to the ground and close up.
