Adz and Susie Here: We have decided to start this Blip together, both to keep a record of the year and to help us to improve our photography skills. We are Blipping together to combine our different areas of interest and styles, and to support each other to Blip every day.

Adz Here: I have had a love of photography for some time now, especially macro photography. Why macro photography? Because although landscapes can be stunning and breath-taking, macro photography delves into the unseen world we often forget about and I find this very interesting and awe inspiring, especially when you see the face of a tiny insect you would not otherwise be able to see.

I have used other various mediums to show some of my best photos in order to get critiques on the different photos so I can see where I can improve my techniques. I have mostly been teaching myself photography through practice, reading and asking others that have more experience and knowledge in the area than myself. ??There are many places and courses I would like to take part in so that I can further improve my skills as well as meet others that have an interest in the same thing as myself.

I hope to use Blip as a day by day diary of the year with Susie so that we can both look back and also share our photos with others and hope that they enjoy the photos as much as we did taking them.

Finally, I love to just get out and enjoy the area and see what I can photograph (macro and all).

Susie Here: Hello, I'm not quite the photography enthusiast that Adam is, but I enjoy capturing the moment to preserve my memories to look back on time and time again.

For me it's more about what the photo says than the technical accuracy of it. I don't have an expensive camera or lots of lenses, but I like to get a snapshot of a time, place or event that means something to me, and hopefully convey some of the emotion in the picture.

I'm looking forward to using this as an opportunity for Adz and myself to keep and share a photographic record our lives.
