Happy New Year



Happy New Year to all my friends, here in the UK, back home in Ireland, new friends in the USA and friends who are even further afield! I hope that the new year brings you all the success that you wish for and all the happiness that goes with it.

This year has been an interesting year for me, with many new things happening. I want to thank my wife Catherine, (Mrs H), my son Cein and daughter Katy for supporting me in my photographic endeavours. They have put up with a lot of... 'can you just sit there... I want to try out a new lighting idea...' you get the picture. Thanks guys, I couldn't have done it without you! Here's to you!

And then there is the #curryclub! What can I say about the #curryclub? As one of the inaugural members, here's to hoping it goes from strength to strength this year with a lot of laughs, more shooting and the odd curry along the way. I hope we can get some of the American folk shooting with us this year, so if you are listening and you are over here, give us a call! We'd love to have you! But seriously, you guys; Brian, Dave, Glyn, David, John, Keith and Gareth have been great friends and a lifeline for me. Here's to you guys!

So, come Midnight, I shall raise a glass to you, my friends, and say Happy New Year,

All the best
Noel

Happy Diwali

Diwali, the celebration of the homecoming of Rama after exile; the Festival of Light, it is celebrated by fireworks.

D200, Tamron 17 - 50, f8, 5 seconds,
handheld, ISO 100

I took this grab shot when we rushed out back after hearing the fireworks explode into the sky. And what a sight they were. Our neighbours back garden was awash with light.

Come out into the Universe of Light,
Everything in the Universe is yours,
stretch out your arms and embrace it with Love.
