Oh look, It's Bramhall Park. Again. Sorry!

These were taken a week ago, the 19th. It was the same day I posted the photos from my film camera so thought I'd save these.

The sun was brilliant on the day.

I think I might be obsessed with playing with the colours in photos. Its a lot of fun and I think it can create some interesting effects

Not got much to say. Don't expect any more photos for a bit though. I do have a model who wants to do some work with me again so that'll be nice when we find a location and time.

Look forward to it!

Film Camera

You may remeber the blog entry i did that showed photos of my Olympus om10 35mm film camera  --> Here.

Well these are photos from said film. I have taken a while getting to grips with the film. Maybe the next one will have more focused photos. I took some during a photo shoot with a model but they were not very good. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy what I'm gonna show you all! :D

The first few are from my last York trip with my lovely friends.

These were taken today at Bramhall Park (yes again, I know lol) My lens has fantastic field of depth, f1.8 which looks amazing.

I've got a slightly different type of film for next time. I had a ISO200 this time which is why the ones in the sunshine came out better. I've got an ISO400 this time. I am still using it in auto and hoping I get more confidence to mess with the settings :D

I have more shots from Bramhall Park on my DSLR. Lots of geese. I'll probs save them for a blog post update during the week :D Fiona xx

It's been almost a month since I've taken ANY photos. So been given the chance to go out with my camera, I couldn't say no!

I went out on a walk with my family even though it was foggy and trying to rain. It did rain quite hard a one point so I had to put my camera away.

This is my favourite photo from today.

 

To be honest though, considering I had to turn down my ISO to 400 I got some really good photos. I've been wanting to take fog related photos for AGES. So I was super excited and kept falling behind the group lol

 

You may have noticed that these photos have extra colour. I wanted to play with the colours a bit, give them some extra interest. It was a fun exercise that given the time I would like to do again.

I'm hoping to get out next weekend with the camera to a new place. I haven't decided where yet.

 

Enjoy this random goose stood on ice

Since the last post I have decided to not go to college for photography. I have realised that I need to keep some things a hobby for now while I work on Design related projects. I do have a couple of Writing competitions I want to enter this year too. I'm hoping I can enter some of these photos into contests too!

Wish me luck everyone!
