The world through my lens
02.02.2020 We were lucky enough to get a couple hours of sunshine this afternoon; so much so that it almost felt like spring! I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and head out to one of our local ponds to seek out the wildlife. It’s a decent-sized pond so lots of people were […]
26.01.2020 My first blog post of 2020! Today I wanted to get out and finally take some more photos; I always leave it way too long between posts. Unfortunately, although it was sunny and beautiful this morning, as soon as I headed out it started to throw it down! So I made do with some […]
01.12.2019 I’ve recently been experimenting with overlays when I’m editing photos to add different textures and colours. I first saw it on a few posts on instagram, where photographers were using bokeh effects on shots of insects and mushrooms.

13.07.2019 I have a bad habit of forgetting to take my camera with me when I go out. I always end up seeing something and thinking “I knew I should have brought my camera!” So when I went to visit my grandparents today, I took my camera with me – just in case! Since coming […]
03.04.2019 It has been a little while since I’ve been out with my camera and took some photos. Lately I’ve been putting all my creative energy into my piano playing and my photography has taken a bit of a back seat. But since it’s spring time and there are a few flowers starting to grow […]
16.02.2019 It’s been a good few months since I last updated my blog. I didn’t mean to leave it so long, but I haven’t had a lot of chance to get out and about and take some photos. Hopefully I’ll have more opportunities soon! It’s the middle of February and we haven’t quite made it […]
