how my gran won a photofriday

Nannan.JPGOccasionally I submit an entry to Photofriday – depends on the subject matter and if I have anything which is worthy! Last week the subject was ‘Grandmother’ so I submitted my favourite shot of my gran, Winnie. I shot it a few years ago with a borrowed Jessops flash, top-mounted (this was before the days of reading Strobist!), bounced off the wall behind me, then converted to B&W in Photoshop. I was just firing test shots off and missed a whole bunch of her pulling funny faces, but this is still a lovely shot of her so thank you to everyone that nominated! :)

    Congratulations! So the hardware is not always the key……

    Indeed not! But that Jessops flash doesn’t allow me to fire it wirelessly using the pop-up flash on my camera…

    ;)
