So it's been a while since I've done any photography updates. When I started this blog I had good intentions of blogging about what I'd learn in each lessson. HA! That went out the window didn't it!
Those of you reading my blog will know that I haven't got a DSLR (it's on the wish list next to the Jimmy Choos) but a lovely chappy on my course lent me his Canon EOS 350D for a week because he hardly uses it. How nice is he?!
We decided to go on a nice family walk to The Roaches and what better place to try out the camera - Please note I spent at least 4 days prior to this excursion reading the manual!! It's so different to using a compact and I thought I was never going to get the hang of shutter speeds and f/stops.........but you know what they say 'Practise Makes Perfect' and so here are a few of my favourite pics
Let me know what you all think. I didn't have time to crop them or put borders round them etc but you get the general idea. Hope you have a great weekend : )

| Landscape - View from The Roaches. It was very windy at the top!! |
 |
| Macro - Cute little fella dining out for lunch |
 |
| Motion - Notice how the water isn't frozen. It's all about shutter speed |
Those are so good! Your research obviously paid off.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying out our camera. I'm actually a very poor photographer.

Thanks SB :D I think it's all about practise and taking as many photos from different angles as possible. xx
DeleteNice pics! like the waterfall and Mr. Insect! I want a DSLR bad too!!
ReplyDeleteCheers me duck. Mr Insect is my favourite :) xx
DeleteThanks for your comment! I love these photos, especially the waterfall. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy. I cant believe how the shutter speed can change things so easily. xx
DeleteThese are really cool :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Niamh. Hope you're ok. xx
DeleteThese photos are great! That's so lovely of that bloke to lend you his camera. I'm fed up with my little Samsung, one day I'll get a decent camera! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Josie. Yeh it was really nice of him. I'm just petrified I'm going to drop it or something. He said he bought this one second hand for £200 *sigh* how I dream of being able to afford one. xxx
DeleteHey thanks for following my blog! I have just followed you :-). Great photos. I too took a class last year, helped so much. DSLR also on my wish list, at the moment I keep borrowing from family members. They want them back though when they go on holiday :-O! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks hun :) The class helped so much. I didn't even know about the macro button before and now I'm always using it!! xx
