Say hello to my little friend. This is my first attempt at creating a matchbox pinhole camera which I am actually really pleased with. I followed a German youtube video tutorial which was the best for me and now I can only hope the film went in the right way. 


Excuse my hook-like little finger.

Shopping list for town today:

• black pen
• 2 match boxes
• black tape
• scalpel (if possible)

going to attempt to make a pinhole camera. 

These are my best images from my light painting experiment experiment. For these results I put my camera on:
Manual mode
Bulb
F14
ISO 100
I like how the light patterns turned out and the effects they've given. I'm going to try and get a different coloured torch to see what other things I can create. 

Today I'm going to experiment with some light painting with a small torch I've purchased. i'll use a long shutter speed with my camera on my tripod and experiment with different times and shapes to see which gives the best effects. 

These are my final images (excluding one which wouldn't upload) from the skating competition yesterday which was held in Whittlesey. I've never taken action photographs of people participating in a sport so it was very different for me. I feel that my images turned out fairly good for a first attempt on movement shots. I am going to experiment with some slow exposures in the next few days also playing with light trails and such.  

I feel like I have hit a big wall where I don't know what I can do to move forward. I think I need to look towards other sources of inspiration and fast..  

Darkroom books, 50p each from the charity shop, don't mind if I do. 

These are my final edits from the sunset I photographed back when I went to Liverpool and have finally managed to get around to sorting through them. I have added a lot of colour and vibrancy to how they turned out on my camera. I remember the sky being very bright and colourful on that day. I feel that I may have added too much colour however this is quite different to my usual stuff. I'm fairly pleased with them however I feel that landscapes are another area which I would like to improve upon. 

I made the mistake of purchasing a domain name without registering to the website itself so I had no e-mail confirmation of my domain name or anything... so now I have registered and I have ordered a domain transferal so I hope that it works orelse I'll have to get into contact with them.

Today I am going to try and get some more portrait shots but this time of my baby brother. Hopefully I'll be able to arrange to take some landscape shots at some point and when I go to Birmingham for Gamefest I'll see if I get some opportunities there to take photos as well! 

These are my portrait shots that I took of Luke. I am fairly happy with how they have turned out; I do plan on turning these 11 images into a final 4/5 but these are the ones which I have edited and could potentially be my final ones. In my final selection I will make sure I don't have more than 2 in the same location (e.g. the train track|).
