I was a very good girl this year and lucky enough to be given a Canon EOS 450D by Santa! In our New Years Resolution Blog Post we vowed to make more time for personal projects and I have been snapping away whenever I’ve had a free afternoon! I’ve posted a couple of pics below, but please be forgiving as apart from a couple of modules at Uni (which seems like light years ago) I’ve not had any kind of photography training.
Christmas Tree Decorations – I was experimenting with light, trying to get the lights to sparkle and playing around with back lit decorations.
Snow – We hardly ever get snow in the South West so I had to grab my camera and shoot what I could with my limited knowledge!
My Model Soxie – I have a new respect for animal photographers, it was such a nightmare to keep him still for more than half a second. I love the first pic, I think it looks like he is posing all moody for me!
Still Photography – After trying to take pictures of Sox, it was a pleasure to take images of something still. I don’t have any props per say so I’ve just grabbed things hanging around the house or office to practice with. I was experimenting with different light sources, depth of field and composition.
As you can see I’m still learning and shooting anything and everything! I’m a big fan of Flickr and often visit it for inspiration. I’ve set up my own account where I’ll be posting more of my images as soon as I get round to taking them!
If you have any advice or there are any photography blogs you can recommend please do let me know. Feel free to critic the above images any advice and pointers are welcome!
