My last laptop was running slowly, which made editing images a slow, slow process. By the time I’d uploaded them I couldn’t be bothered to post about it.
Anyway, I’ve got a new laptop (mmm speedy) and have started to take some photos again.



The beast from the East was here the other week, but as I was at work I never managed to get out and photograph anything. The beast returned (or sent his cousin?) and as today is a Sunday, out we went for a little walk
Nothing like going out for a walk in the snow, the coming home to a nice warm cuppa!

Today I went out to photograph a fox. The fox(es) did not come out to play. So I returned home, and had to think of something else to shoot. We shall try for foxes another day!

Today I won a competition with my face 😉
I won some photography equipment 😀

I have decided to put a bit more effort in for August whilst I am off work. I really enjoyed taking photos when I was on holiday, so I think I am trying to do too much on an average day with work, exercise and taking a photo every day. Seeing as I’m not at work until Sep this means I can work on the photos a bit more.
I’m going to try to get out and visit different places when I can, and shoot a variety of things. That is the plan anyway, it obviously depends on the weather and other commitments (like festivals!)

A nice quick shot before work – crammed in in 10 minutes. I’d originally set my alarm for 10 minutes earlier, with the idea that instead of lying in bed looking at the internet before getting up I’d just get straight up. I managed to do this, which should really have created an extra 20 minutes, however for some reason I just took ages to get my breakfast together and lost all of the time I should have gained. Ultimately though I suppose it doesn’t matter as I got the shot : )
Today was the first day in a while that I fancied actually taking a photo. I’ve been shooting every day (obviously) but since being ill/grandad passing away my heart hasn’t really been in it.
This morning in a last attempt to spur myself into action I went out and bought a brand new sketch book, pencils and crayons so I could write down ideas. It seems to have worked a bit because I’ve had a few. I had to wait until the sun was low enough for this one, so I didn’t get out to shoot until after tea.
My final present (birthday present that is) from kB turned up late, in fact it arrived at some point last week. To go with the elf ears he’d bought me he also got me a head dress thing. I wanted to do it justice in it’s first image so I decided to wait until the weekend to use it. I was glad I did because on Friday another prop I’d ordered arrived (And this morning even more things arrived!)
This shot was taken with the help of kB getting me to lay in place after I’d told him what I wanted it to be like 🙂
