Between the budgeting and lack of spare holiday I'm not sure that my photography didn't suffer a little overall, especially as when the tour did arrive I un-expectedly felt the desire to bask in the adventure of it all, rather than let my photography have much influence on events (which it usually does). I'm pleased with the photos I brought back, but I know they were not the product of any concerted effort.
I guess the same can be said of my to-do list that I set myself, failing on almost all counts! I definitely got closer to some half decent Kingfisher photos, but the chase continues for another year. So with a self administered, "must try harder", slap on the wrist, most have made their way onto the 2012 to-do list.
The one area I have been really pleased with is the four weddings we've photographed in 2011. I've learnt a lot, had lots of fun and got some great feedback from the couples brave enough to let us be their photographers. With some luck and a concerted effort I hope to build on the experience we've gained and drive this on to be the start of something we can get going properly in 2012.
And with all that waffle out of the way, time for some more tour photos...
