Fireworks

Okay so I know it was firework night a few weeks ago and I'm really bad at not keeping up to date with posting photos. I promise to be better.

Firework night is by far my favourite nights of the year. I actually get excited for it. There is just something I like about the lights and big bangs. My favourite is the big rockets that go dodummmm. Yes I did just make a firework noise.

Mist

So last week I woke up early and it was sooo beautiful outside. It was moments like this when I wish I live near Richmond Park. Unfortunately I don't. here is the view out my window instead.

It was firework night last night.  My favourite night of the year. Will do a post later. :)

Duckies

Today is my day off. Here are my ducks.

This is Dolly.

And here is Daisy.

They love worms, snails, cold baths, the radio and cucumber. 

Apples, Berries and Lavender

We went to a food festivals. There wasn't food. I was well confused. However there was this cute little orchard, which sold a personal favourite of mine cider. Attached to one of these trees was a swing and I just loved the way it was slightly hidden in the tree.

There was also blackberries.

Red Berries

And Lavender

London

So I am all moved out of London. Yeah I know. Yesterday and this morning were horrible. Definitely dislike cleaning. So a last month some family came to London and I was tour guide. It was really nice to see some of the touristy bits.

Nelson's Column

The National Gallery

The Living Wall

Big Ben

Oh and I attempted to do one of these tilt shift photos however it hasn't come out that well. I think using the London Eye to give a better view was a little bit extravagant. 

Today is.....

...my last day in London. I said goodbye to Jon today. I didn't cry. Well I nearly did but I have spent three years with him.

Today is also World Photography Day. Here is the tube station I get the train from every day.

So now that i have finished uni, I've had an amazing time, met some amazing people but its time to move on. 

Tomorrow there will definitely be tears.

Alpaca!

Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid.


I went to a Alpaca farm today. I kinda want one now. They are like Camel Llama things with really long necks and super soft wool.

And this one is my favourite

A Beautiful Sunny Sunday

Today was gorgeous. I spent most of asleep on the grass, however I did manage to be a little bit productive rather than top my tan up.

Happy Sunday :)

Film

I love film. There is one reason behind why I love film, this is that you never quite know what you going to get.

This one was taken over a year ago while i was in america. we had just cycled around a massive lake and a sit down was deserved.

the second was taken in Ibiza last week. I really like it because of its abstractness and it pretty much sums up how I remember the time I had there.

And here is me and my besties. they make me :) and put up with a constant camera in their faces when i am around.

Ibiza

So I have just spent a week in Ibiza. It was amazing. It was mainly a drinking holiday however while we were there we saw one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Clouds

Sunglasses as a filter

Perfect

I do kinda wish I had my SLR with me

Lomography

So I quite like the Lomography cameras. They can give some really cool effects. I already own then Diana F+ and the Action sample one and now I have the colour splash which makes me super excited.

I think it works really well here, especially where I have used the green filter.

Check out some more Lomo photography and cameras here

Restoration

I have been doing some restoration work. I love old photographs. I think they are beautiful however as any thing they get old and worn, all they need is a little love and attention.

Here is one I have done for a friend of boss.

Original

Restoration

I was going to soften the face a little but i don't think it needs it. The main three areas I have worked on, these are the fold at the top left corner, the fold that is across the jumper and the colour/contrast.

The Sea

I really do love the sea.

Project Break

Okay so I have been super busy lately with my Final Major Project. I really shouldn't leave work to the last minute. I guess I never learnt this at my three years of Uni. I will be done on the 16th may any way.

I took this moments ago on a little break from my FMP. If i never have to see a spreadsheet again one will be happy. Taken images like this is what I do best. To me this is effortless.

I really like roses. Especially red ones. I have one tattooed on my ankle. Its from Beauty and the Beast which is like my favourite movie ever. I like what it means. To learn to love and be loved in return?

New Camera

So I bought a new camera. Its a Olympus Tough 310. Its also bright blue.

So the main reason behind this new camera is that I am clumsy. Now when I say clumsy I mean I am beyond clumsy. My other compact is in repair for the fourth time so I think a tough camera is suitable. 

One of the great things about this camera is that is waterproof. I had fun with it in the sea today.
