A Summer's Day

Hello! 

It's been a long time since I have posted any photos and I'm very sorry about that. My life has been crazy and the camera has spent most of the last few months in it's case. These photos are from one day in the summer when I went for a walk with my parents and brother. I think it would make for a wonderful place to do a fashion shoot. I fell in love with the field,s that's for sure. I'll talk more about life at the end of this blog post. Enjoy the photos

For those who follow my book blog/Twitter/Deviantart etc, you will know that I've been working hard at my part time job as well as the Studio project I got back in January. The project is starting to come to a close after a lot of work. I have had no time to do photos or even draw what i want to draw. My Fiancée is also getting a transfer back from Sheffield to Manchester and we have found a place to rent so we are moving at the end of the month. So lots of things to sort out. Hopefully in the New Year, things will be settled and I will be able to go out and take more photos! I hope you all look forward to it as much as I do.

These photos are from my lovely walk on my Birthday to Hathersage. The sun was glorious and it melted me and my Fiancée.

Lots of grass and textures on these photos. A bird, ladybird and duck also make an appearance. It was a lovely day and I am quite happy with the photos I took even if I am still a bit rusty.

Oh look, whose this? That would be me with my newly dyed hair, taken by my Fiancée

Also a bit of sad news. My Birthday was 28th May and sadly my Granddad passed away a day later. I'm unsure when the next time I'll get to take photos will be. I may be getting use of a car soon so more chance of organising a proper photo shoot. Who knows but it may be some time before I'm back.

Take care everyone

My Week in Photos

As usual a bunch of phone pictures of mostly flowers. Taken on Lomo app and different photo editing app.

I'd like to take my photos of the station from the walkway above, to get some interesting angles.

I like how the green 'pops' on this photo compared to my pale skin and the dark background. In essence spring is here in the palm of my hand.

I really love reflection photos and I think i might be getting a little obsessed with them. I like this one with the red umbrella standing out and my shoes being in clear focus. The elements to it are interesting.

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!
