London Marathon

Hi guys!
I'm off to see the London Marathon, which means one thing - NEW PHOTOS!! I'll try to have them up this week, but I cannot guarantee unfortunately, as I am so busy!

Bye for now guys, but watch this space!! Xx

Hai guys!

So, a lot of updates for the last few months!! Lets start from November 2013...

November 28/29th
From September, we had been preparing a variety of musical performances, including 'I'd Do Anything', 'What is This Feeling?' and 'America', for my school's first showcase and we performed on the 28th and 29th of November. Also, my friendship with a majority of my mates improved dramatically (see what I did there lol) and, due to it, I talk to them a lot more, especially my best mate Christina :) The 29th of November was also the date when I did the best thing that I will never regret - I asked my best friend out after the showcase :) and I must admit I will never forget the conversations we have, the day I asked him out, nor every day since.

Christmas
Did any of you watch the Doctor Who episode?! I loved it!! Plus, I got:

*Nokia Lumia 520
*1D perfume, album and film
*Phantom of the Opera music
*Shrek the Musical film
*Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
*Farming Simulator

New Year to now
DID YOU ALL WATCH SHERLOCK?! OMG.  JUST OMG. I'M SORRY BUT OMG.
#SherlockLives
Okay, end of fangirl moment, haha

So, from the start of the year till now, life has been good. I've had my GCSE mocks (I got B's in Biology, Chemistry and Maths, an A in English and a C in both the higher and foundation reading, an E in the foundation listening and a C in the higher listening), I'm still with my boyfriend, I've had a lot more opportunities in school to improve my photography, I've begun to write and draw more, I talk to my mates more and I feel the happiest I have ever been in y life :D On the other hand, I have also had quite a few moments where I have felt incredibly down, especially this past week or two - it might just be mood swings due to stress, but I still don't know :(

So thats it, pretty much!! How has life been for you guys?

British Museum school trip!

So, on the 15th on November 2013, my school went to the British Museum and, as I wanted to do photography for the school and for my own personal usage, I decided to take my Canon 40D with a reasonably small lens (I can't remember what it was, I think it was the 75-300mm or something) which i must admit is a VERY nice camera :)

So, on that day, my friends Beth, Usayd and I went around the Egyptian, Mexican and several other exhibits and, during the visit, i took around 100 or so photos, such as:

:D

Wow, sorry for the low amount of posting! Hopefully this holiday I'll add more, as well as update the Facebook page I set up (search A Photographer Kid on Facebook and like the page! :D )

So, its now about two weeks to Christmas? I am so excited, especially due to something that occurred several days ago that I still can't believe is real! I will try to explain in the holiday if I get time! How are you guys going to spend the holidays? I will be staying at home, visiting family and celebrating!! I am so excited!

Hopefully I will see you guys soon! <3

Camera Club: Food photography

Hey guys!

Sorry for the long time between posts, but this one is quite an interesting and fun post!

So, last Thursday, I tagged along with my dad to his photography club that runs locally and it was his turn to lead the session, which he decided to do food photography for. During the session, we tested with a variety of equipment and shared tips on how to improve our photos so that they can look more professional and more appealing - Here are some of the ones that I managed to take!

Yes this is blurry, but i love the effect that the
blur has on the image

The last month...

I am so sorry that it has been a month since my last update!

I am beginning to think about doing some more photography but I just don't have the time available, as I have school and a LOT of coursework and homework and tests (oh my!). I hope that, during the half term, I will be able to upload some from a club on thursday and some new photos!!

I have to dash, I have homework :( but I will return!! Mark my words!!

The Funny Things In Life...

Have you ever seen something that caught your eye, that makes you laugh a little? It's moments like those that I love the most, where there is a badly positioned or badly designed thing that makes me laugh, especially due to my weird view in things. During the summer holidays, I found a lot of things like that, and I couldn't miss out on the opportunity to photograph them and share them with you!

 When my mum and I went into town, we had to go to a card shop and, when we were leaving, I saw this card at the corner of my eye and thought I misread it. Upon re-reading the card, I realised that it was a card for a 50th birthday, but, due to where the card behind was placed, my mind decided to read it as a card for a 500th birthday (yeah, because everyone lives to 500 (-_-)), haha. Would have made my day if there was a nearby card that read "Holy crap, you're old! O.O"

My dad and I were shopping and we were looking and the DVDs and music and my dad picked this up and said, "How bad of a placement is this?" He then showed me the CD and I laughed my head off. By the way, this is supposed to say "Trucking Songs" and it is by Eddie Stobart, but my dad and I severely misread it...

Ok, so my mum, grandparents and I went into ASDA and we went into the desert section when I noticed this little fella all alone by one of the deserts and I just had to take a photo, especially as it was in an unusual place in the first place...
Why would anyone leave a Smurf in ASDA anyway? :s Haha
I just remembered....I let him like this too... I wonder who noticed XD

Following the Smurf incident, we went to the vegetable section and, by the mushrooms, was a conveniently placed Pepsi bottle. I didn't move it, and immediately, my mind yelled, "I see you...you better by this....I'M WATCHING YOU.." Ok, that didn't creep me out...STOP STARING AT ME YOU CREEPY WEIRDO!!!

 This is my absolute favourite because, as I went into a restaurant/pub with my mum and grandparents, I turned my head to see, staring at me, a high minion from my favourite film, Despicable Me 2. When I saw this, I just had to take a photo and I could not stop laughing as we got into the car to leave. I don't think I'm over it now... *starts to giggle*

Finally, whilst in York, we passed a shop where there was a gothic Hello Kitty in the middle of the display, looking at me as if it was an ordinary doll. Since taking the photo, I have noticed that the Hello Kitty doll next to it is facing away and there is a small horse on the shelf below looking as if it is scared beyond anything and is hoping that the gothic Hello Kitty will not notice it. Well, I have something to tell Gothic Kitty - *Ahem* - "Goth Kitty, Death Kitty, Little Ball of hate! Dress-Black Kitty, Love-Black Kitty, Death, Goth, Death..." :P




I hope you guys enjoyed this blog post - sorry it took so long, I couldn't complete it all at once, so had to do it in sections. Hopefully, the next blog post won't take as long to publish! I believe that there were some new videos as of two weeks ago on my channel, and I'm thinking of starting a facebook page for this blog, so please share your thoughts through the comments! Bye guys! x
