Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine

As usual these are photos from Bramhall Park. It was just too nice out today to not go out and take photos. My main aim was to try and photograph more animals.







Love these Ladybird photos. Love that the red pops against the green.









Enjoy!

Reality is hard. It is no walk in the park, this thing called Life.

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

Frosty


A cold and somewhat frosty day(mostly de-frosted by the time we went out lol) today but a good day for a walk.


We went to Happy Valley and had a good 2 hour walk, cutting through Bramhall Park on the way back home. None of these photos are from Bramhall Park though, for a change.



It was a good walk, I spent most of it talking to my dad about my life. Well, what I'm going to do about my life this year. There isn't something specific that I am good at. I like lots of things: Photography, Writing, Drawing and Illustration. So the plan is to push forward with them, enter competitions for photography and writing. Use contacts to get involve with people who might be able to offer me advice about doing Children's picture books. Do more work in all these areas.



I was thinking about going back to college but Stockport College are useless in getting back in contact with me and it was only an A level. I could do a Nation Diploma Level 3 part time but its in Didsbury at Manchester college's campus. But! I still don't know If I want my career to be photography. The problem I have is a lot of people can do what I can and I need to push myself out there. Show myself to people and make contacts.




There might be some promise for next year but I have to start now to push forward this year. I'm going to work hard on Cross and Pike, and create the children's picture books I want to make even if its just to see if I can. I want to take as many photos and improve as much as possible on my own.


I dunno when the next lot of photos will be up, got a lot to think about and need to split my time between everything. I do hope to organise some shoots soon

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
