April 2015 - time for another update.  Blip has a lot to answer for - my wife Technophobe has now joined me on Blip and amazingly she has almost posted 500 blips.  It means things have become a bit competitive in our household. 

Blip has made me really think about my photography and I have learnt an enormous amount.  This year I submitted a successful LRPS panel.  I have also created a website www.peterharris.photos

This year I will hopefully get to my 1000th Blip

Sept 2013 - almost 300 blips in and I feel it's time for a bit of rebranding.  I have renamed my journal Loosecanon but left the account name the same.  A new profile picture completes the process.  Will anyone be fooled?

I retired in 2011 after 38 years working in the NHS.

I have rediscovered my interest in photography and by enrolling in a couple of courses I have discovered some of the things I have been doing wrong all these years.  I realised that many previous good results were more by luck than skill.  I will now be working on the things that I know make a good image.

Through the discipline of having to upload a daily photo to Blipfoto I hope to learn even more and be taken out of my comfort zone.

Please feel free to make criticisms as well as compliments!

If anyone needs to contact me I have created this email address:

Sept 2017 - having moved to using my Olympus OMD E-M1 Mk2 as my main camera I have changed my journal name to Lapsed Canon

Update January 2024

Many of you will know that my blipping has been very intermittent for a few years.   The result of this is that Jane (technophobe) has massively overtaken me in the Blip statistics.

I have resolved to restart daily blips again

New framing website
