Did a long kayak down the canal by us, paddled all the way to Lancashire!
Wasn't expecting to get any refreshment, then came across the canalboat tearoom..awesome.

How, exactly :)

Just cutting meal portion sizes and excise - as silly as this next bit is going to sound - Just Dance on the PS4, it sounds utterly ridiculous but it burns the fat off sooooo fast.... start off by dancing to one song and before you know it you've danced to 10+ 3-5minute songs, I know, it sounds so silly but it genuinely works. Being limited to my house and garden there isn't a great deal I can do, so its ideal.

Haha, nope. Maybe if they'd targeted it at amateurs who haven't shot weddings before and are scared to take the plunge but asking for basically a pro with £10+ k of equipment to roll up and do it for free is a pisstake of the highest order.

Part of me thinks it's fake and created by a pissed off photographer because it just ticks so many boxes.

Reckon this is facetious.

As you'll all know, I'm big into my photography and I've seen it change a lot over the years. My problem with photography is that it is no longer niche, it's no longer specialist, and it's so cheap and easy to get into. As a result, the world is awash with photography: tens of thousands of images of the same thing, most of it very good indeed. It's almost impossible to tell the difference between cheap kit and pricey kit, or an enthusiastic photographer and a seasoned pro. There's also a deluge of "buy camera, take photos, create Joe Plumber Photography" on social media; anyone can do it, there's no standard as to who can and can't call themselves a photographer. The result is a race to the bottom as cheapo wedding photographers flood the market and appeal to those on a budget. I've read so many bitter tweets / blog posts from pros that I converse with, but at the end of the day it comes down to simple capitalism and competition - if someone is prepared to pay for "good enough wedding photography" for £800 than "top work" at £4000, then why not? My own personal opinion is that pro wedding photographers need to take some of the blame - the prices were set high when they were able to dominate the market, opportunists saw what they were charging and said "I can have a piece of that" which was fuelled by the advances in top quality cameras at affordable prices. No need for darkrooms, no need to do your own book binding, and pro-level printing available to the masses - the arse was going to fall out of the wedding photographer market eventually.

I've seen businesses touting for work on my local town's Facebook group. Showcasing wedding photographs that are very obviously "I've been on a photography course" quality. So bad that I had to bite my lip to avoid commenting.

I've always taken the view that the informal, unposed photographs make the best wedding pictures. And no matter how much you spend on cameras and equipment, you'll never be a good photographer if you don't have an eye.

All part of my new..you dont need to know anything..society.
Won't be long before you get an app, thats livestreamed to a celebrity designer/waste of space, you move the camera about under their instruction for a fee and they take the picture.
