MOOD: Snuggly
Its been a few weeks since i posted, but due to my life being a bit strange lately, i haven't had much free time. I went home a week ago, to visit friends, family and of course, Luke. Went out drinking a couple of times, visited the "family in the woods" and went to Meadowhall (a local shopping centre) to spent far too much money on a French Connection dress, but life goes on doesn't it, and i'm sure i'll pay for it this week by eating pasta and soup again (those are my "poor" foods, everyone always has pasta and soup in don't they?). It just feels like a shame to come back, although this time doesn't feel as bad as previous times. I was very glad to put the fire on and get into bed.
The shoot i went back to Scunthorpe to do a few weeks ago went ok. Not what i really wanted from it, the lighting was rubbish (i forgot to borrow a flash gun from University). I had such a strong pre concieved idea about what the final image would look like, that it dissappointed me when the results end up looking nothing like you imagined they would. Sometimes idea's and inspiration hinder you rather than help you. Here are a few of the best images, like i said before, not brilliant, but they answer the brief so mission completed.
We got a brief at University on Wednesday (yes, whilst i was in Scunthorpe, thank god for the beauty of email) we have to produce an image based on a phrase we are given, the phrase i was given is "When will the way be free asked the barrier". I originally had no idea what i was going to do for this, but eventually decided upon doing a shoot in the location of the sea and beach. Considering i've lived in Blackpool now for 7 months, i've not really done much work involving the seaside, which is a shame. I took Frank for a walk in Clevelys (a large village just up the road) a couple of weeks ago, the beach there is lovely, and very accessible unlike the beach here in Bispam. I got up at 5am this morning, just so i'd be able to get the best part of the day and the light. Trekked down to the bach with my friend Beth and Frank, set my tripod up and waited for the sun to light up the sky. I got some great images, although the sun wasn't very bright. I'll upload them in my next post, i still have to finish editing.
I'll update again soon, hopefully with a bit more of my photography, and photography that i actually like and am proud of unlike the work in this post.
Take it easy.
