A Beginners Tip to Digital Photography

1.don't be scared of the camera - if you haven't used a camera before or are new to photography, try to think of yourself as a tourist visiting a holiday spot and taking photos of what you like, nobody will look at you.

2. try and do not walk with the camera at your eye, you will bang into something or fall over.

3. stay still when you press the shutter button and wait for a couple of seconds until the pictures has actually been taken, the flash sometimes takes its time to flash.

4.have a look of what you have taken, but don't delete straight away, when downloading onto computer, you can then crop and enhance your picture.

5.most of all enjoy taking pictures, it can be fun, and look everywhere, not just at eye level, look down and look up, see everything from a different viewpoint.

Welcome to my portfolio, this is just a sample of my work, which has been
taken over the last few years, have a look and I hope you enjoy them

I was born in the east end of Glasgow,I lived in Easterhouse then moved to
Barlanark.
In 1986,when my children were attending the local nursery, I joined in an art class with other local mothers to learn basic crafts and to get some adult company.
The group began tentatively with crafts and painting and then moved into printmaking and photography.
In the years to follow,we took part in a whole selection of projects and exhibits,such as:
Producing a booklet of black and white lino prints with poems by Freddie Anderson
Large lino prints onto canvas with artist in residence Andrew Hay
"Wear It Well"exhibition with the Open Museum
Writing workshop with Maud Sulter
Producing a calender in association with Scottish Child Magazine
From there, I went onto John Wheatley College, to do a National
Certificate course in Photography on a part-time basis.
When I finished that, I went onto Glasgow College of Building and Printing, and
studied a two year HND course and finished with an Advanced Diploma
course.
I now teach photography within John
Wheatley College.
I enjoy it very much and hope I pass on
my enjoyment of photography to others.
These pictures were taken while I was attending college.

How to Make a Pop Tab Bracelet

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

For those of you who like to recycle and be crafty at the same time, here's your chance. These pop tab bracelets can be worn by anyone with an edgy sense of fashion. They look stylish and are easy to make.

Steps

1. Collect the tabs. You'll also need a flat ribbon or shoe lace (of any color) and a safety pin.
   
2. Measure the bracelet. Put the shoe lace or ribbon around your hand to see where you need to cut it.
   
3. String on your pop tabs, one by one, as shown.
   
4. Close the loose ends with a safety pin around your wrist. Fold the ends before you pin them. Have a friend help with this so you don't accidentally poke yourself with the sharp pin!
   

Tips

• You can color the pop tabs before you put them on the bracelet with permanent markers or nail polish.
  
• Alternatives to the safety pin include buttons, snaps, velcro, and any other closure.
  
• You can decorate the ribbon or shoelace by embroidering a pattern on it with a contrasting color with a sewing machine.
  
• This is likely to be a well-received and thoughtful gift by an emo, punk or scene kid. It's personal, quirky and environmentally friendly.
  

Warnings

• Sand down any rough edges on the tabs and be careful when handling them so that you don't get scratched.
  

Things You'll Need

• Shoe lace or ribbon
  
• 7-9 pop tabs
  
• permanent markers (optional)
  
• nail polish (optional)
