Also I want to just say hello to the rest of world that is reading this.
Anyways, you also may know that it was my birthday on Monday, I am officially 21 and legal to drink in any country (mwahahahaha). I actually can't believe it, I don't even feel another year older. It's so strange. Thank you to everybody who sent me birthday messages :). I got lots of lovely presents and had an amazing night out with a couple of friends.
Back to what you guys came here for. I went out yesterday and took some photographs whilst trying not to get blown away by the wind. I first met up with my friend Cara, who I haven't seen in what seems like forever. I miss all my college friends. They're mostly all at Uni so they don't get to socialise very much.
Whilst she went off to take photographs for her Uni assignment (she's a fellow photographer just like me), Her work is amazing, she takes such beautiful, natural portraits along with other things.
On my way back into town to do a few things, I came across an old bent up bike. I love finding stuff like this. Most people think I'm strange like that, but you guys can make of it what you will.
The idea of objects being dumped and abandoned is something that has amazed me for quite some time. My final major project at college involved me taking photographs of old derelict buildings that were all boarded up or falling apart. Which reminds me I must sort out a photo shoot/ trip with my friend, there's alot more old buildings in my county then I realised.
Later yesterday afternoon I went back out into the cold wind to get some more photo's. Sadly I didn't get to take some of the images I had in my head, it gets dark so early now. This is just one of many reasons why I hate winter. Hopefully, I get to go out earlier in the day to take some shots.
One of the shots I did get was of this old letterbox. I walk past it all the time but finally got round to photographing it, after many occasions of putting it off due to the wrong conditions, or not having my camera with me. It's not as rusted as I would have liked but hey, you can't have it your way all the time. Sometimes nature or the council fight back.( haha )
There is also a little playground near me too and I just couldn't help myself, I had to get a photo of the hopscotch. I'm not really sure why, maybe it has something to do with this being one of my favourite playground games when I was little. Or maybe it's just the fact that there was something intriguing about a playground having moss spread pretty much everywhere. We might never know the true reason.
For those of you wondering, I do edit my digital photo's a little. I like to play with the contrast a little, and try to make the colours a little bit bolder. Sometimes it doesn't work but, it's a way of learning right?
Right I'm going to bed. Bones has finished (this means it's taken me over an hour to write this up,) and it's starting to drag a little. This might just be a record breaking world's longest blog. If your still reading this then CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! you have made it to the end. Sorry if I started to bore you a little.
Until next time goodbye and good night (don't forget to pass the link onto your friends and family.) I would also love it if you commented on things I could improve on, or just subsribe (if you can do that, I don't really know much about this blogger yet)
