Gary & Jane were married at Muncaster Castle, what an amazing and historic venue!
The intimate service and dining afterwards was a pleasure to be part of and I thank them very much.

Gaiety Cinema pictures cause a stir

Dave Wilson — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 08:36:28 +0000

It seems that my pictures which ran in The Whitehaven News have provoked a good reaction!
Page 10 of this weeks’ paper (23rd December 2009) features letters from the public who having seen my pictures are backing up the plea to re-open the cinema, especially in light of the Workington bridge disaster which makes it difficult to get to the local multiplex.

There is even a Facebook group called Re-open the Gaiety Cinema – please join up!

My full Gaiety picture set can be viewed here; http://www.flickr.com/photos/horrgakx/sets/72157622745861702/

Beginners photography course concludes

Dave Wilson — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:52:19 +0000

The Digital photography for beginners course concluded successfully today with the last field trip. Put back a couple of weeks due to the weather, we were at Ennerdale today looking at the effects of low light and slow shutter speeds.

We had a great class, everyone enjoyed what they learned and some of the class are now sitting the next level course.

Captured with a 25-second shutter speed
