Take a walk on the wild side

Well, not really the wild side, it was Lyme Park.

Yes, I have photographs! Only been nearly a month since I got the chance to. My parents decided to go for a walk and I went with them along with my camera. I still need to use up my film camera but not sure what to take photos of for that.

I was trying for ages to get a photo of the light coming through the clouds and I like how this one turned out 

Not many photos because I wanted to keep up and the light wasn't great so a lot of them came out blurred anyway. Not my best photos either but these are just a selection from the 60 I took.

I hopefully will have 2 photos shoots with models in the new year as I don't really have time right now. I need to time to find a new place to shoot photos too.

Take care everyone and hopefully i'll come back with some more photos in December.

Away we go!

I'm really sorry that I haven't been keeping up as much with my photography as much as I would have liked.

Things have been a bit mad with shifts changing at work and going to stay with my other half in Sheffield. He moved last week.

This means I haven't been able to fit in much time for going out to take photos or arrange photo shoots (I am working on it though, I promise)

As I write and read more than I take photos at the moment (because I do it on the move to work and to Sheffield either on my tab or with an actual book) I have created a blog that will run beside this one that is all about what I love to red and write. Reviews of books and snippets of my new writings :D

I hope you can all forgive me, I will try to take photos again soon, I promise!

I remember them

Hello!

I know, I've been missing for a while from my blog. I have no real excuse other than I haven't been taking photographs lately. I have a bit more time off now so hopefully I'll get to take some more soon!

I went on a day trip to York yesterday (already feels like ages ago) to see my much missed friends from uni. I had forgotten just how much I missed them and to be honest I found it very hard not to cry when I was going to leave.

So here is a blog post post with some of my favourite photos from the trip :D

Ryan also had his camera and was playing with lens flares so I had a go too!

I love colours of leaves and these trees had such amazing colours when the sunlight hit. Seriously, me in parks with a camera, I could spend hours there!

I'm really impressed with how this photo came out. The squirrels were very tame and we managed to get quite close.

I hope you enjoy!

Not dead, honestly!

I'm not dead! I've been busy lately so I haven't had chance to take any photos.

Here is a photo of a banner I did for work, for a book signing.

I'm seeing my girls this week so i'll have some photos then

No person has the right to rain on your dreams

'No person has the right to rain on your dreams'

Marian Wright Edelman 

I wanted a title that was related to rain without just being 'rain is horrible'. It rained pretty bad while we were out taking photos yesterday. It also meant the light to take them with was pretty much non-existent.

So I've tried to meet Laura before and we didn't have much luck. This time we managed it! We met in Victoria Station in Manchester City Center.

We had A LOT of rain. Every time we went inside to get out of the rain, the sun would come out. It got a little bit annoying. We kept going, the best we could and I think we did OK.

We started by Urbis, the water fountains weren't on though which was a bit of a shame. Would have been nice. We then had quite a think about other locations and ended up round the back streets near Aflecks. Was a bit of a walk.

As I said to Laura, I need to go explore parts of Manchester I haven't been to before for new places to shoot. I could also do with getting a flash gun to be able to shoot better under cover and in the dark (eg, when it rains because winter is coming. It's not going to get any better weather wise)

I had to edit all of the photos and some were blurry on my computer but I think we got a selection of good photos. As usual I preferred the photos I took slightly later, once I had relaxed back into taking photos. Laura was a pleasure to work with. Just a shame the rain cut us a bit short.

I would like to do some winter/wrapped up and snow photos nearer to Christmas when I next work with a model. I don't know when I'll have the chance around work. 

Fingers crossed :D

Take care

Fiona

Photo of the day

Hello!

Not had much chance to take photos lately. Been working full-time weeks and it takes a long time to get to and from work. I've been trying to at least take photos on my phone

I didn't have work today and I went with my parents to two wedding fayres to look at ideas.

So until Friday, I leave you with an image taken on my phone when I woke up stupidly early. I managed to capture the sunrise (Through my window hence the slight reflections)

Take Care

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine

"A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love." - Max Muller

A lovely quote which goes with the weather today. The sun is out and it is gorgeous outside! I wasn't going to stay in on my day off so here are some photos!

I woke up earlyier than I had planned (got to be up at 6.15 for the next 3 days after today for work :/ ) but the sun was shining early in the day. I decided to go out in the garden with my camera. As usual I was accompanied by my cat.
 He thinks no-one can see him.

The light on the water droplets made these images very blurry and somewhat abstract but I like these. I didn't edit them at all :D It's the first time images have done this and it's interesting to play with.

I then wandered over to Bramhall Park, just down the road from my house. Flowers, leaves and photogenic geese today.

I love the colours on this photo.


My Moo.com business Cards arrived today. I chose a selection of my favourite photos to use. Here is what they look like





I have a photo shoot on the 7th so I don't think I'll post anything before then. I might do a "My Day in Photos" as I'm hopefully going to a wedding fair on Sunday (It'll only be on my phone and not my slr most likely) We'll see.

Have a good week

Fiona
