Sunset 21-08-2011: With Sheep!
I went away to Chorley for the weekend to see family, and on the way back on Sunday night I noticed it was almost sunset so I pulled over, grabbed my camera and climbed on top of the car to get a good view!
I'm really happy with how this turned out, a little bit of tweaking in LR3 allowed me to see the beautiful colours of the sunset, and the sheep in the field in front of me.
Update – 12th August
Wow, it's been so long since I updated this, but I've been really busy, honest!
So, what have I been up to? WORKING! Yup, that thing that we have to do so that we can afford to do the things we want to do! I know, lame excuse but it does mean that I've manage to save up significantly more money than I had expected for my trip to Florida in 27 days (it's not as if I'm counting or anything...)
It's going to be a fantastic trip, everyone else is getting really excited now too! I finally got my passport sorted, after a great deal of hassle including them rejecting my photographs because I had my glasses on (which weren't obstructing my eyes - the reason they gave for rejecting them) so I had to re-submit my application with photographs without my glasses one, where I'm squinting like crazy to read the instructions on the screen in the photo booth!
So I look like a mole on my passport. Frigging great.
Anyway, in other news I have some new Timelapse videos to upload, and some photos too, which I'll try to get sorted out this weekend!
I also have a new addition to my family, her name is Charlie and she's a Chilean Rose Tarantula. Phoebe absolutely adores her and keeps wanting me to get her out of her tank!
I guess that's all for now, going to settle down and carry on reading my book until I fall asleep!
Darwen – May 2011
Oops, I thought I'd posted this already but I guess it didn't submit!
Aaaanyway, I went up to Darwen in May to see my cousin (who's wedding I'm photographing in September) and her family. We had a really good weekend and I managed to get some lovely photos of them. Take a look below for some of my favourites!
A Visit To The Park!
Went down to the park with Phoebe and her cousins and had a really good laugh tearing around the park chasing after them all! Very tiring though, or maybe that's just old age creeping up on me!
Timelapse 14-05-2011
Another one from the spare room (dammit I need to get a bit more adventurous with these don't I?)
I loved the way the clouds were forming so got the camera set up and rattled this video off.
Created using a Nikon D300, Nikon 18-200mm AF-S Lens, Nikon MC-36 Remote. I edited the frames using Adobe Photoshop CS5, compiled them into a movie using Apple Quicktime Pro and polished it all up using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
Music is Wake Up by Coheed & Cambria from the album Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness.
