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!

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!

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

So here are a selection of photos I took at the Wedding on Sunday, in order of when they were taken, it flows better that way I think.

I'll tell you a couple of things first. 1, I had only met the woman who was doing the photography once before (but she is lovely and I will totally be hiring her to mine lol) 2, I had never met the Bride before and 3, said Bride was 6 months pregnant!

It is the weirdest thing to be at someone's wedding and not knowing anyone. I had to stay completely focused throughout and safe to say at the end of it I was shattered. We met at 10:30 but the bride wasn't ready for us till 11:30 and we photographed none stop till like 5 when we got to have some food which the party had theirs.


The Groom and Father of the Bride



 I followed Amy (the photographer) round like a puppy, watching her and helping her when needed. She let me take photos from where ever I wanted while she did the main photos. This is why no-one is ever looking at my camera but I like it that way. It feels a bit more natural.









The inside was incredibly dark. So much so that I thought all my photos would be useless. Luckily shooting in Raw turned out to be a bit of a blessing. I was able to modify the images in their purest from so saving the detail.

So once I had done the major edited, I exported out and did the finer details like making the black and white with colour in photoshop.








Bride, Groom and Groom's Mother and Father


The ceremony was inside and we had photos in the bride's room and outside. It rained. Yes another blog post where I mention rain. Even Wrexham can't escape the rain it seems.

















Oh yea, the guy in red is Steve, The ToastMaster. Absolutely a fantastic bloke who we had dinner with. He is lovely, seriously.





Overall it was a very good experience and one I did enjoy. I learned a lot and I hope to apply that in the future. I need to invest in a flashgun, makes indoor photography so much easier without using a camera's regular flash which is horrible!

Dunno when I'll next update
