Hopefully, as my knowledge of WordPress gets better, the design will change and get better.<\/p>\n<p>Why start a blog? Hopefully, as images and video plus comments get added to the blog you will get a better idea of the Gower Peninsula and what Gower Photography is all about.<\/p>\n<p>I have been involved in photography for 20 years now and have experience in quite a few different areas of photography. My first passion was black and white photography and I enjoy the development of films and printing in a darkroom still. Unfortunately, due to lack of space, the darkroom is in about 6 boxes at the moment, but the digital lightroom will still allow me to develop my images and print. Hopefully, with time I will able to have both options available.<\/p>\n<p>Gower Photography workshops and day courses were born out of my love of the landscape of the Gower Peninsula and a wish to allow other people to enjoy what I am privileged to have on my doorstep 365 days of the year. They are pretty informal, but during them, I concentrate on getting the participants to the best locations at the right time and am on hand to give advice and ideas. I will openly say that I do not know everything about photography, but I don&#8217;t think anybody does. I find that the courses allow everybody to feed off each other and that everybody has the chance to learn and develop as photographers.<\/p>\n<p>Well here goes the start of something new![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well after mucking about for a few weeks trying to improve the appearence of the blog, I have finally had enough and thought it better to get blogging!
