Menna

Monday, I was on babysitting duty. Babysitting armed with a camera.

This image taken at playtime in the morning just shows her cheeky personality and fun loving character.

Where as this image shows Menna relaxing before bed time, taking some time out to read Country Living.

A quick edit.

Obviously the top image is the original and the second the edit but I can't decide which one I prefer?!

Time for a walk down the river,

I went for a walk down the river yesterday, I had gotten so angry and wound up I needed to get out. I headed out with my camera and it certainly did the trick..

That image above is my favourit of the entire evening.
On my way home I ended up calling off at my Nans for a bit where I got a bit carried away and ended up helping/documenting the proccess of taking down the old lilac tree. It was alot safer than it looks.. honest!

A day in the garden.

Overexposed but I like it.

Whit balance is slightly off, but I like the perspective.

Mennas birthday party.

Mennas birthday was acually back in April however I have only recently been able to get the film developed so this is why the post has come so late.

I'm not entirely sure why I chose to shoot on film for her birthday but I did and I am pleased with my results. Sadly though, Menna wasn't her usual smiley self as she was a bit poorly at the time. Still, they are very colourful shots and I think they prtray the occasion just right.

This image would be better if my Aunty (middle) had her eyes open

I love this one!!

Poor girl was obviously hungry.

Guess who washed there CF card today?

Thats right.

I did.

It still works though. Miraculously.

Revisiting the courts shoot.

A while back now I did a shoot down at the Courts in Northwich, I blogged those digital shots at the time. However, I also took a few shots on my favourite film camera. Not enough though to get it immediately developed and so since then, I have been desperate to find photos I want to take on film. Its taken a lot longer than I expected it too.
Anyway, those few I took on the film camera are now here, all scanned in and ready to be blogged.

This is my favourite shot of them all. the security in the background is obvious but slight out of focus. The portrait here shows more about Mr Kings personality than the previous shots. The other images all show his professional side, the side of him all of his colleagues know. This shot shows the side I know, the fun side.
The shot below was taken just after he had realised I'd taken the above image. It isn't a particularly strong image, but I think it works when seen directly after the above shot.

Those four pictures are the only ones I took on the film camera. I wish I had taken more now looking back, but oh well, learning curve.
