Photography - 9th February 2012 - Marquis Drive, Cannock Chase, Staffordshire

What most locals, like me, forget to remember is that we live almost on top of a wonderful area of woodland called Cannock Chase which was given Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty status in 1958. (reference www.cannock-chase.co.uk)

Cannock Chase is a haven for many people who live in the area, cyclists, walkers, adventurers and not least photographers.  So, why not make use of this magical place for a photography class?

Last Thursday my dad and I went off to Marquis Drive Visitor Centre on the Chase for our first photography class.  The first thing I learnt was that you don't have to have a fancy camera to make photos look good, anyone with any sort of camera can take good photographs.  We learnt how to create a good photograph by looking at the composition and how to frame the photograph.  I don't think I captured this very well but here are a couple of photos I took on a cold and gloomy day on Cannock Chase.
