Oliver time

Oliver is quite possibly my most photographed subject.  I sometimes wonder if he recognises me without a camera or phone in front of my face capturing his every move.  It's his own fault for being so adorable.  He sends my broody levels sky high with every visit and yesterday was no exception.  Especially when he played dress up!

Thank you Oliver for helping me improve my portrait photos.  Your a little cutie beauty! xx

Harrison's Holy Communion

It was Harrison's Holy Communion a couple of weeks ago & I couldn't resist the opportunity to take some photos of his special day all suited and booted & looking like butter wouldn't melt he he.

It was a great afternoon at my very first Holy Communion celebration & was lovely to spend time with all 4 generations of Steve's family.

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations on your first Holy Communion Harrison xx

May Day Weekend

 

It feels like forever ago that my family & I visited Hastings to see my nan and spend the weekend together for the May Day 'Jack in the Green' celebrations and bike run. I'm not quite sure where this month has disappeared to, its been hectically busy with work, visiting family & dressing up as an OAP at a hen doo in Cambridge, that i haven't had a chance to sit still and update this blog, my camera hasn't sat still either, i haven't stopped using it this month in the hope to complete my unit assignment & move on to the next chapter.

My IOP course said my assignment was to practice taking photos of:

• Moving objects
• Close up Macro photos
• Portrait photos

On the Sunday we spent the day walking around the old town together, had a nice drink whilst soaking up the Morris dancing atmosphere, had a peek in the shops, Steve had a go on a potters wheel, we adventured up to the top of Hastings cliff and back down again to the fisherman's end, then had lunch in a lovely seafront cafe together, it was a great day & i got to play around with all the camera settings, here are some of the photos;

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next day we made our way back to the seafront for the best way possible to tick 'moving objects' off my list at the May Day motorbike run from London to Hastings.  The town was absolutely packed as far as the eye could see with motorbikes, leather and tattoos, the atmosphere was great & so too were the photo opportunities & we found ourselves a great spot for watching all the motorbikes, trikes & quads enter the seafront....

 

 

 

 

 

When we returned back to Nans i tried my hand at some close up macro photos in her pretty garden but i think i need some more practice on them but not bad for my first go!

 

 

 

 

We were so lucky with the weather & it was really nice to have Michael spend a weekend with us too, which brings me to say well done to my Mum & Brother who each took the following photos which came out really well.

 

 

 

Thank you for a great weekend xx
