Photo Perfect

Today I thought I would share some of my photography with you. I'm not a professional, nor have I had any official training, so go easy on me! I just thought you might like to see some of the stuff I love to photograph. I adore photographing people too, but rarely will anyone give me permission to snap them. I am surrounded by camera-shy folk. I would really love to perfect my portrait photography skills, but for aforementioned reason this is proving difficult. Also, I need someone who can take good photo's of me - the bf, whilst having done a photography course, isn't into photographing me for the blog! Wish I could have an outer body experience to take flattering and pretty photo's of myself for you to see. Alas, that will have to wait until I have more time to experiment with my camera settings and tripod. Enjoy!

NB - I did take photographs of the bride and groom that included their faces, but I have left them off the blog in case my future step sister-in-law (possibly, I'm not engaged to the bf as yet!) didn't want me to share them with you.

Photography Maniac

Hello lovely blog reader. I'm afraid that I have been unwell for the 

last week and now I have a terrific coldsore right in the middle

of my top lip. It's large and unsightly and I didn't think you lovely

folk would want to see me in this state! Hence no pictures of my face

recently.

I thought I would share some of my favourite snaps that I've managed

to take over the past year or so. I'm always taking photos of nature,

scenery, etc. First photograph is from last summer of a hydrangea bush in the 

garden. Above is a daffodil from last spring. 

This picture is of the view that can be seen if I walk about 4 minutes down
my road. I live in rural North Wales (I'm a southerner who moved here for uni)

and the Snowdonia mountain range has been a prominent feature in my life since
I moved here.

Here we have some photoshop editing so that my Ray Ban style

sunglasses are in their blue glory, whilst the rest is in black and

white. I like phptpgraphs which have a shot of unexpected colour. I hope

you enjoyed this little break from tradition and found my snaps

interesting. Normal blogging will resume once this coldsore leaves my face!
