Mobile versus DSLR

I love taking pictures ,I'm forever snapping away but sometimes I feel cheated by my photography when using my iPhone I know I'm good but I am ever the perfection ( house work exempt ). I ambled out today taking both my Nikon and my mobile with the hope of getting some inspiring pictures ( in what I call fitography . I 'm pretty sure I saw a Merlin bird of prey but they're like the summer breeze that quickly bless though , also spotted out were various dog walkers who doff their country caps and say morning . I found an ideal picnic spot upon a log for another day perfectly situated for your pork pie cheese and pickle .

Walking down the lane , this was taken with my Nikon D3200

It was lovely to clear my heart and my head of the clutter of the week , and as I write this I have just had a wrestle with Blogger as I could't upload my pictures to you . I am met with cries that i should move to Wordpress which I know is very sleek etc but I do like my old Blogger as much as I do taking pictures with both my Mobile and my Iphone .The Nikon has the depth of field and the Iphone is very much geared up for the Instagram "Now" generation of which I tap lightly on the door of !

My photography is dependable as an Oak tree , I am hoping the above is an Oak tree  ?!

The Nikon D3200 allows me to pick up on the detail of the bark

I have an Iphone 5 S so I have no idea if an Iphone will pick up the detail of the bark is such a clear way or not , I find that if I take pictures with my mobile the picture when you click on it won't open up the same as when the picture is taken with a camera .

I would like a smaller alternative at times to lugging round My Nikon for those quick flick shot moments when I see that perfect picture in my minds eye.

The below pictures are those taken with my mobile .

Getting My Kit Off

It has felt like yonks since I wrote a post at the weekend I was in London seeing Doctor Faustus  and quite a bit of Kit Harrington ( the chap from game of Thrones ) which I don't watch as it is dragons , ladies , swords and fighting and people who could do with wearing a stich more clothing. And as my husband and son are watching it I'm doing that annoying habit of saying whose that several hundred times ....

I've popped to the shops ( I love that phrase ) it was the farm shop 

And this is one of the views I have on the way to the farm shop , one day I'll actually snap a picture of one of the things I buy ! before I eat it ! I was hoping to do a blog post where I could up load my pictures from my Nikon but Blogger is being a pain in the backside and I'm fighting an ant invasion and I'm struggling with the puffy ant powder .

And to top it all the cat walked out the kitchen this morning as I walked it in , I'm pretty sure it was an omen ..

My Sunday Photo

Broccoli, Sweetcorn And Feta Cheese Fritters / Frittata

Life is fast !

If you don't stop once in a while ....


Hold on hold on that is the start of Ferris Buellars day off!

If you don't stop once in a while ,to see what you've actually got in your cupboards ,then you could be missing on on creating some really tasty ingredients with cupboard ( superhero basic s)

Ingredients

• 80g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 100ml milk
• 100g Sweetcorn defrosted or Petit Pois ( I love saying that word )
• 100g Broccoli chopped up roughly
• 100g feta cheese, crumbled
• 1tsp mixed herbs

You could add in some red onion or Spring onion 

• light olive oil, for frying

Method 

Mix together the flour and baking powder , season with salt and pepper.

Combine with the egg and half of the milk.

Whisk to create a batter , gradually adding in the rest of the milk.

Add in your Brocolli, Sweetcorn and Feta cheese , stir in . You might need to add a little bit of ,ill in if you find the mixture is too thick.

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat , add 2 tablespoons of light olive oil.

When hot enough spoon in about 1 tablespoon of mixture .

Fry on each side for 2-3 minutes of each side.

Repeat until the mixture is used up , you'll be able to fit around 4 in the pan.

These can be kept warm in the oven until you need them .

My Blogging Therapy

At the moment I'm in the grips of a positive flow blog wise , life wise everything wise that's not to say I dint get down as I do but the dips I'm in are getting shallower. I have no doubt I'll always have depression /.anxiety but it's how I deal with it that counts  and my support network around me . Just as you wouldn't say to a depressed person " do you think you should have the tablets "

You shouldn't say to me to "take the tablets "

I'm tablet free depression wise but that's my choice , my therapy is in other quarters tea , cars countryside and I do love a good  bunting . I'm contemplating going to knitting at some point but haven't since knitting rate consumed me ps I didn't go loco with the knitting needles instead it's a patience issue which is something I've got to work on reality .

So my therapy continues 

There's no point in grieving on what is lost in my world instead I work on what I'll become .
