Twelve Months of Covid – December

The festive season is nearly upon us – the world looks grey and cold but there are red berries, and hopefully something to look forward to.

Looking back, there have been some good things to come out of what seems like a perpetual lockdown. Nature has had time to breathe, and I’ve taken more photographs than I thought I would back in March.

Zoom has been a lifeline to many – the Royal Photographic Society, have put on more talks and presentations than I’ve ever been to. I feel more a part of that than I have in all the years I’ve been a member.

The camera club has flourished. We have had more speakers in the last 10 months, than I’ve seen in the last 10 years….. it’s been inspirational.

Yes, I’ve panicked a lot, cried some, worried about friends and relatives all over the world, but somehow, for us at least, we got through to December without too much tragedy.


I’ve learned how to make silly things, and edit them – I’ve used a lens ball more than I thought I would – and I’m half way through a course that will let me use the drone commercially…… (Assuming I pass the exam of course)….

Next year has to be better – I can only hope the vaccination process comes on, and that we can all move into a better stage of our lives by Easter……

Take care, stay safe, keep your distance…………
