Hi Folks,
As a follow up to ‘does the slipper fit’ I thought I would add another personal blog on my efforts to get my first nineteen points in club competitions.
Well I was in Greece, it was a hot day and I thought I would spend a morning in Nafplio with my camera to get some good shots for the competitions.
I had heard there was a large fortress in Nafplio and to get to the top was a climb of over a thousand steps. I always like a challenge and took a spare shirt as I had a bus journey back to Tolo afterwards.
Now you may remember the steps in the Mamma Mia film going up to the church in Skopelos, well that only had 110 steps to the top
However, this quest was ten times bigger
I thought I would get at least some good views
and after over 30 minutes of climbing stairs,( timed from my camera pictures), I had reached the top with a voice higher than Peirce Brosnan
But I don’t wanna talk
About things I’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me
Now it’s history
So here I was, only to find the place had many Americans walking around and I could have got a taxi that does the journey up from the back of the fortress. However, I was delighted to find a series of archways that all lined up and looking at my camera display I thought this could be a winner.
as I left skipping down the same stairway I felt like Meryl Streep with the ‘Winner takes it all’ song ringing in my ear lol
at the bottom a Taverna sign, yes try walking up them lol
I then had to ring out my shirt and change into to a dry one but it was worth it I had got my picture
So at appraisal night I got some good tips from Chris to improve it further and spent a whole weekend on a new learning curve using a free trial of ON1 software and i was pleased.
On Tuesday night, the image wasn’t criticised and scored an eighteen.
Still, I have more to come for the next competition,
and
the judges will decide,
the likes of me abide
Oh I turned into Meryl Streep again lol
