Autumn Leaves
I love Autumn. A lot. And to celebrate my love of autumn, I took the opportunity of a lovely sunny autumnal afternoon to take some photos with my Bridge camera. I’m really happy with how they came out. I love experimenting with different angles, but next I need to get into editing and post-photo production. […]
Meeting (Fangirling over) Patrick Ness
On the weekend of the 5th and 6th October, myself and my housemate went to Cheltenham Literature Festival. You won’t see much evidence of this, however, because I cleverly forgot my camera and to take any photos which is annoying because I wanted to share it all with you. But never mind, I am not […]
Turning 21
On Tuesday (1st of October) I turned 21 and in doing so became a proper fully-fledged grown up person. (Ahh!) Simply put, it was one of the nicest (birth)days I’ve ever had and I cannot thank my family and friends enough for how generous and lovely they were and how special they made it. Because […]
Photographing Lake Como
Hello! Again, I’ve been very lax with my blogging recently and I apologise, I’ve really had no excuse. But I thought it was about time to share some photos I took whilst on holiday with my family in Lake Como. They were all taken with my Nikon CoolPix P510 and I’m really happy with how […]
Great Gatsby Party
I went to a Great Gatsby party yesterday and took some photos of my outfit which wasn’t strictly 1920s but a bargain so it’s fine.
Photographing York Minster
I’m lucky enough to live in a beautiful city which I really don’t appreciate as often as I should. So the other sunny day I went out to take some pictures of the city’s great landmark: the minster. Here are the results: They were all taken on my Nikon Coolpix P510.
Doing it for the Girls
I was watching a stupid YouTube video the other day with two guys challenging each other to archery, when one said “I’m just like Katniss”, before proceeding to fire a terrible shot. I’m just like Katniss. And just like that I realised that the universal symbol for archery nowadays isn’t Robin Hood, or some superhero […]
April Music Favourites
I’ve been trying to blog a little more often recently, has anyone noticed? You’re welcome. Anyway, it’s that time of the month again with my favourite songs from April. I really recommend for everyone to have a go at using http://8tracks.com/ – it’s a great website where you can create your own playlists, plus choose different […]
A Picture Says a Thousand Words
There I was, just casually browsing the news websites, when I came across a collection of the most moving and beautiful photographs I’ve ever seen. Norwegian Photographer Andrea Gjestvang has just the L’Iris d’Or prize at the Sony World Photography Awards for her collection, One Day in History, a series of portraits of the survivors […]
What I’ve Learnt From My Work Experience at Penguin
I was lucky enough to do a two week work experience placement at Penguin books in London and I had such a wonderful time. I was in the editorial department of one of their publishing sections called Viking and although I naturally had to do some menial admin tasks, I also got to see the […]
