  • Street Photography

    So recently I’ve been doing a vast amount of street photography so I thought I’d share with you what I’ve learnt. The first time I did street photography it felt obtrusive, I felt like I was doing something wrong because it is essentially photographing people without their consent. Later I found out that street photography…

  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week 8: Textures and Patterns

    This week I had to photograph Textures and Patterns and it took me back to a time when rather than ordering photo books off Photobox I used to order photos and buy patterned paper from Hobbycraft. So for this challenge I decided to take a picture of one of them because it brings me back…

  • Read This If You Want To Take Great Photographs of People by Henry Carroll

    So after reading Henry Carroll’s other book discussing how to take great photographs in general which I posted on this blog and absolutely loving it, a couple of months later I walked into Waterstones and found that he had written another one but this time it was only to do with people, my favourite subject…

  • Photo Challenge Friday Week 7: Numbers

    My challenge for this week was Numbers.   My initial idea was to go out and photograph doors and use the numbers on the doors as a metaphor by stating that life presents plenty of opportunities and all you need to do is pick a number and go through that door. But I was working a…

  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week 4,5 and 6

    So I know it’s a day late and I apologise for that but today i’m doing a special triple post because I’ve been on holiday so I’ve combined my posts for week 4, 5 and 6. So each week I set my self two challenges because I was on holiday so this meant I had…

  • Photo Challenge Friday: Week Three: Balance

    So its week three of photo challenge Friday and my challenge for this week was balance. I was planning on taking this shot on a photo walk yesterday but the weather changed my plans so instead I had an idea to incorporate my love of reading into my image. I decided I could create a…

  • Petzval 85mm Lomography Lens

    Last Thursday I went on a photo walk to Crosby and as I had already been before and I knew I was going to get exactly the same shots I took a gamble. Rather than my telephoto zoom lens I took the Petzval 85mm Lens which is a Lomography / art lens. This lens is…

  • Photo Challenge Friday :Week 2: Coming and Going /Don't Belong Together

    So It’s Friday and if you read last weeks post you know what that means. It’s week two of Photo Challenge Friday and last week I set myself a double challenge using the photo challenge cards that my best friend gave me. Last week after shuffling the deck I made the choice of 1. Coming…

  • Photo Challenge Friday – Excluded and Alone

    So a little while ago I decided that I was going to start a new regular segment on my blog called Photo Challenge Friday. Photo Challenge Friday is an idea where every Friday I will be setting myself a new photography challenge which I have a week to complete. The idea was born a few…

  • Skippool Creek Photowalk

    On Thursday I went on a photo walk with Preston Photographic Society to Skippool Creek, which was a little bit different than usual because it was a members choice rather than our photo walk organiser, Nancy’s and we were photographing rusty old boats. This time I took one of my cousins who is also interested…
