These guys are all great. I love capturing moments like this.

81. Hands


Our lovely friends, Alex and Laura, tied the knot last weekend. I managed to get a few shots at the wedding that I was pretty pleased with. This is a fairly classic pose!

Yum yum yum. I'm feeling peckish just looking at this photo!

79. How I see myself...

I'm using one of the Scavenger Hunt Sunday shots to fit this theme as it is pretty much how everyone sees me nowadays! I am the one who is behind the camera! On a slightly deeper level, it is increasingly becoming how I see myself, particularly as I am taking steps to improve my skills. I can't see myself without a camera in my life.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

With several busy weekends and being right in the middle of a hectic school term, I've not made the time to do this for the past couple of weeks. Shame on me. Particularly as it is such fun! Do head over to Ashley Sisk's Ramblings and Photos to see some other interpretations of this week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

Here are mine...

1. Vintage

I found this vintage Kodak Brownie last weekend in a junk shop. This model is from the 1950s and I love it - hoping to run a test film through soon.

2. Word


We went to a fantastic wedding down in Cornwall yesterday and had a wonderful time celebrating with good friends. I loved the little details, like these hand-drawn place settings. So beautiful


3. Nature's Own

This one needs little explanation. Blossom is everywhere here at the moment. I'm a bit addicted to snapping it!

4. People


Another from the wedding - I love capturing people and their emotions; everyone looks so happy here, watching the bride and groom cut the cake.

5. Photographer's Choice


My interpretation of this very 'open' prompt was to show you my choice of camera and lens. I'm a Nikon user and the lens I currently get the most use out of is a f.1.8 50mm portrait lens. A lot of people disregard these fixed lenses in favour of a zoom lens, but I have no problem moving my feet!


78. Ring


77. Sport


On Friday evening we went to see the Plymouth Raiders play against the Cheshire Jets. It was my first live basketball game - such fun!

75. Found Objects


I found this 'Box Brownie' camera in a junk shop last weekend and had to snap it up. The model number dates it somewhere between 1953 and 1957. We now have a couple of these in our collection of vintage cameras - it's been great fun trying them out and running a film through. Hopefully, we'll be able to do the same with this one. A great find!

74. Groups


The sheep in the field over the road are always huddled together in groups - as sheep tend to be. It is particularly evident at the moment, as I think they're about to lamb.

73. Animal


Adorable. Waiting patiently for his owner to return, outside a cafe - and just because he was so beautiful, here's another...

71. Distorted


This is B, who is 6'4, looking teeny tiny for once. 

70. Eating


This weekend we have been down in Minehead for ATP Festival. This was my favourite part - fish and chips on the pier.

68. Pet


Not mine, but someone's. She is very loyally standing, waiting by their front door.

67. Curvature


It's funny how often you miss what is right before your eyes. I have walked through the abbey gates so often, yet never paid attention to the lovely curved ironwork until I had my camera in my hand. It definitely makes me look at things with a more observant eye.

66. Fresh


Fresh raindrops on the very fresh colours of my beautiful hellebore, freshly blooming after a year of no flowers. I love this sight.

65. Symmetry


I loved how this little table in a cafe in Lichfield looked, just waiting for two to come and enjoy their Sunday morning coffee.

64. Arranged


This one was also taken at my aunty's house - this time in her kitchen, where she has arranged these colourful decorations along her windowsill. 

63. Pastimes


Not my pastime, but my aunty's. She has knitted some absolutely amazing clothes and this caught my eye in her living room this morning. Such a stunning colour of wool.

62. Blossom


It has become something of a running joke in our household that it gets to this time of year and I start taking a ridiculous amount of photographs of flowers. I am trying my hardest to broaden my photographic subjects, however, one of my themes is 'blossom' and it has just started blooming, so this had to be done. Had to.
