Wild Botanics

Hey all how are you doing?
                        To day it was quite windy when out so the main place near where i live to go for a walk and get out of the wind is The National Botanic Gardens. it was lovely in around the gardens especially because it wasn't only the humans taking shelter there today but also the wild life and i had brought my camera  with me and here is a few of what i got.

These pictures were just half of the pictures i got and i feel i was quite lucky today because you could go into the gardens at other times and get nothing so i hope this has some interest out there please let me know how you feel about them.

Yours 

Paul

CW life

During the week i went out to take pictures for college but i found when i got to where i wanted to take pictures i was too early as the pictures i wanted to take were night shots. I got some nice sunsets instead and here they are.

This work is connected to my ongoing love of sunsets but is also what i may do for my final project in college next year but i won't decide that till the autumn.

Concept Work

Hey i am back with more.
              Within the last few hours i went out and started work on a concept photo work for College and here is what i got.

I was amazed i was only out for an hour and i got such cool looking photo's. I wasn't sure what to expect but would you let me know what you think of these pictures and when i finish this work i will show it to the world here and other places.

Smedias Entries

Hey all,
             in the last post i showed you some of the pictures which i would be entering into the Student Media Awards and today i will show what i actually entered in.

The title i gave to this trio of pictures was Life the reason for that i will leave to you to decide as i believe you might have better ideas than me so let me know.

Thank you and good luck till next time.

Smedias 2013

Hey Everyone how are things?

          It has been along time since I posted anything here so starting today I am going to try and post at least once a week if not once a fortnight. Anyway today I would like to talk about a competition I am going to enter and that competition is the Student Media Awards 2013. I plan to go for the Photographer of the Year well that is my hope anyway. So toward that end I would like to show some of the pictures I might be entering.

This is just a selection of what I selected, I still have to pick the 3 which I will be entering in the competition and at least one of the picture in this post will be put into the competition. Any comments regarding these pictures would be much appreciated.

Getting back to posting

I am just letting people know that will be starting to post again on my blog over the next few weeks in a way to restablish some sort of order to my life and i will be creating a website in the next few months when it is up I will leave a link on here and Facebook to it

People and life

Hey all how are you?
                                Up to recently I have been not really able to talk to people and tell them my feelings but since Christmas i ave had to face people more and more, especially because of my work in college has been aimed at the portrait beginings and i have to say that i loved it. Some of the work is quite cool if i say so myself, some of it was my first time in the studio:

These few shots are quite well worked by by opinion now I will say that they could do with work  like the one directly above  is a little dark in the foreground.

These are pictures i have taken of some of friends and family i am really thankful that they helped me out with this project otherwise i might not have been able to finish this year in college. Yay to friends and family without them i would not have survived this year and especially to the certain people who i want to remain friends with forever.

Life

Hey Everyone,
How are you doing? it has been sometime since my last post on this blog  as I  have been focusing on my college work and so I am going to show you what i have been creating for college and outside of it.

This was a project i done in my second semester of college it was a way for us to learn to bring out a story in our pictures or in other words show a relationship between the pictures.

For instance can you see the connection between the pictures above it may be obvious but if its not i will tell you at the end of the post....

The main idea i got from this project was for us to learn to tell stories through our picture but also to tell ourselves to ask for help and to push us outside our safe zones. And now for the answer to the earlier question. It was art even though there is a painting in each it is in my opinion that art of life that binds these pictures together but not just those 2 but all the pictures in this project. And so until next time good luck and please give me your opinions.

Work From College

Hey all,
            How is everybody doing? Having fun i hope. Anyway i have some pictures to show you today from the work i have being doing in the studio this semester, there is some portrait work and some still life i have been practising. It's only a small bit but i am happy with it.

 This picture was quite easy to set up and quite fun

 For the bottle we put a light behind the bottle  so it would look kind of natural

 These 2 pictures are 2 different stages of the final picture below oddly enough i like  the top one with the blue and red

This is the final image we got on the day. i believe it came out quite well having gone through alot of work for this. All picture in this blog were taken with the help of 3 of my fellow students. Until next time good luck
