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

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

My Day In Photos -26/09

It was my day off today and to be honest, I didn't feel like doing much. I stayed over at my Fiancée's house and went into Manchester City centre with him so he could go to work and I could go home. This post is more like stuff that happened in photos rather than a photo shoot or something like that, sorry lol





My lunch at Cafe Nero, one of my fave coffee shops. It was the first time I had the soup and I must say it was lush! I was in the mood for something a bit different. Sorry the quality isn't great,some of these were taken with my phone.



My Fiancée bought this little Chocolate bear. It's quite funny to me as I refer to him as my teddy bear because he is big and cuddly as well as having blonde curly hair. He really is like a life sized teddy bear. Anyway the chocolate was lovely :D



I love flower shops. I wish I could buy more flowers to take photos of. When I move out, the place will be filled with them :D
 
 At least at the time of day I was heading home (like 2pm I think) it was nice. The sun was shining. My walk home from the train station is nice on day's like today, otherwise it's horrible lol.
 
 Look who it is! Why it is me! I hate doing self portraits (they always come out blurry for a start lol). I did a bit of shopping today. I have been looking at coloured tights for weeks now. I really wanted to red ones but every time I looked at them, they never had them in my size. Today was different! I got Red, Cobalt Blue (the ones I'm wearing in the photos) and Sky Blue (reduced to 50p!) tights. Very happy. Also I can finally fit in those shorts. I love them so but I haven't worn them out yet. I was too worried my legs were too fat. Still not 100% sure lol

Also my lovely new shoes. I wanted ankle boots but I tried on loads and either they were too pointy and painful or my feet just slid out. I don't normally go for converse style shoes but these were so comfy the moment I put them on. The have lace on the sides and tie with a ribbon. They will go with EVERYTHING. I hope lol.

A cute headband I bought (My hair is annoying me at the moment so trying to find ways of doing stuff with it) 
 Me and my cat :D So have another one of him:
 
Sunbathing while I was taking photos :D

 I also bought a watch because I snapped the strap of mine at work yesterday :( was very annoyed. So I bought the cheapest one I could find so I wouldn't be bothered if I snapped it again. £4 for a watch isn't bad and I do like stars :D Sorry It's not a great blog post but hey! you get to learn a bit more about me :D
