I shall only eat fruits and vegetables and all the goods god made and live in peace and run miles and not look back at horrible people and horrible things including horrible thoughts

I took the tripod to the skatepark and took some long shutter photo's along with timer photo's to capture movement, the camera ran out of battery within 15 minutes, should have charged it before. But it was well fun taking these and double exposing them on Photoshop.

Portrait, Landscape... Still life.

I really enjoyed taking the following photo's. What makes still life so good? The stillness. It's still, it's not going anywhere, you can re arrange it to how you want it. You can give yourself time to find the perfect setting as to what you're looking for in the photograph. These are some already made up still lifes in my home - untouched, the photo's just taken of them as they are.

The repetition on book like objects along with the repetition of light on the wall creates an interesting composition. It feels warm and homely.

Dishes before the clean
I like this in black and white a lot. The 3 round dishes create a visual triangle which keeps viewer in focus of the image, I love how all round object have a distinct border.

Change of viewpoint

This part of my kitchen always looks this way, every single day. Well maybe the sugar bowl is sometimes more full and the salt less full. But it always has the same objects in it -that's what makes it special.

the sun shines one last time

Last day I get to relax in my bed and enjoy the beautiful lights that visit my room each morning. Tomorrow I will have to stress about alllll these things I should have done in the holidays but I didn't. I chose not to and I don't regret it - because I know I can't work half as well at home as I can at college. Here are some photo's I took utilising sunlight this morning.

I don't know, why?

Bedroom still life 1
Things that get gathered in the corner of a room, objects that are nothing to you - important to me.

Bedroom still life 2
With the reflection taking viewer through to the other side of the room.
What makes it interesting is that not all objects are as obvious as you would like them to be.

Bedroom portrait, yawn
I set the camera on timer and I just really needed to yawn - I didn't realise that I look this stupid when I yawn until I saw this photo

Bedroom portrait part 2
2nd stage of a yawn is pretty strange too hahaha

Textures -
Pillow
Wooden floor
Cotton sock
Fishnet tights
Denim skirt

I thought the timer photo's had finished - I finished caring.
Careless face

Naturally needed a scratch

The following photo's aim to speak of the last day of Christmas holidays

I don't feel any captions are needed

Self portraits using sunlight and blinds, so much fun

Same again, I love the colours and contrast.

Today was beautiful for a walk up gala hill, sun and how it lays.

It's almost like creating double exposure, using plants/objects to look through onto landscapes to make them more interesting, the eildons are so nice from this point of view.

Sama again

This picture describes how I feel right now, after all this food and spare time in the holidays I have put on about a stone and feel awful. The skinny tree shadow is who I wanna be, however I am the big lit up tree.

Looking through onto the eildons, the branches create and outline for the hills. (doesn't look like January, more like March)

It was a clear blue sky, nice abstract shadow picture of a tree.

I LOVE A CLEAR SKYYYY

Creating patterns with tree branches

That 1 ball that stayed red - so proud. Love how it grabs attention

Here I was thinking more about how to photograph a landscape. Thinking about the rule of thirds and things that keep you interested I decided to include some fence

Light hills and dark forest

The contrast in this is amazing I have no idea how I did it.

Eildon silhouettes

Continious

Cute portrait of my mumma

Light and dark, again. It was amazing to see how lit up the town looked from the dark and cold forest, this picture describes it perfectly with a separation line.

Mum admiring the contrast.

Smash
