Welcome to Episode 25 of the photography explained podcast in this episode, Happy New Year.

I’m your host, Rick, and each week, I’ll try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. My aim is to explain things in just enough detail to help with our photography, and no more.

So that’s in a normal episode.

But in this episode, I just want to wish you a Happy New Year, and hope that we all have a better 2021 after what has been, quite frankly, a horrendous 2020. 2020 was a really, really difficult year for all of us, more difficult for some than others.

Here is this podcast episode

A scrap of good?

Some good has come out of it, but it’s a shame we had to go through all the badness to get any of the goodness that’s come out of it.

So enough about that.

Today is New Year’s Day.

I hope you’re not listening to this today, I hope that you’re spending time with friends and family enjoying yourselves as much as we’re allowed to in the current climate (this was pre-recorded and I am doing just that today).

So what’s coming up in 2021? Well, I’ve got some, some plans. I’m going to continue to broadcast twice a week on my podcast, and also produce a blog post that accompanies it.

I’ve been trialling some clever stuff that manages to transcribe what I say and puts it into a Word document, which is quite scary because I can see what I’ve actually said.

I will continue to explain things without the irrelevant detail.

What’s next?

Who cares what’s next. Enjoy today. And let’s enjoy ourselves in 2021.

So I will say it again. All the best for 2021.

I’ll have to learn how to say 2021 clearly, one of my aims for 2021 is to be able to read and speak properly! And it takes me about three months to get used to using the number for the New Year!

Join me in 2021 as I carry on with my journey to master the art of speech and photography!

Have a great New Year’s Day. Have a great 2021.

See you on the next episode. Cheers from me Rick
