Summer Months

Hey guys, I was reading some of my past blog posts, and I just realized it's been over 3 months since I last posted one. Summer has come and gone so quickly, too quick in fact. To be honest we did get 2/3 weeks of amazing sunshine, so I'm not complaining. So much happened over the past couple of months. As always I've been super busy with my trusty Nikon camera. I took so many new photos, and recorded some new video footage also. In May I finished my Multimedia & Web Development course at  Cavan Institute . It was an amazing 2 years, and to my surprise I received a full 9 distinctions on all my modules, which I was extremely happy with.

May/June2018

Now that I've finished my Multimedia & Web Development Course at  Cavan Institute , I've the summer to work on some video and photography projects I have in mind. It's been a very busy few months, with final assignments, and exams at the end of May. I always gave myself enough time to complete college work. I was very happy to have been successful in the Aca exam, for Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Premiere Pro. An Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) credential certifies that individuals have the skills to plan, design, build and maintain effective communications using different forms of digital media.  At times I might of felt slightly stressed, but everything worked out in the end. So far since I've had free time I've been super busy. On the 19th of May this year I was delighted to receive my Licentiate distinction, with the  Irish Photographic Federation . Applicants put forward a panel of ten prints, which are assessed by a panel of experienced ...
