Photo-shoot practice

Hey guys, just thought I would share some picture I have taken recently. My friend Indy came to mine and we did a kind of mini practice photo-shoot and tried out some styles and messed about with paint and glitter, these are some really nice ones, but I haven't got round to editing them yet so I will show you them once I am finished. Best thing is that MY EXAMS ARE OVER!! Greatest feeling being able to come home and not worry about revision, just go to the beach and hang out with friends at the weekends :) I am also surfing a lot more now so I will have some nice summer shots later on and I am really trying to post more often, but because I mainly focus on my photography it all depends on when I get out to take pictures, so I am thinking of expanding this blog to a bit more of everything including tips and ideas... but let me know what you think. Hope the weather is great where you are and are having a great Summer :)

DofE

Hellooo :) The weather is insane at the moment!! I love summer so much :) So this weekend I had my Duke of Edinburgh qualification walk around Devon and it was amazing!! I absolutely loved it because the weather was beautiful (yes I got a little bit sun-burnt but you can't expect anything less from a ginger) and I was with the best girls, love them all lots. I took my GoPro and filmed loads of it which I am editing together at the moment to make a short film for our purpose work which is basically when you have to complete a kind of project as you go around and my group decided to do arts, so there are pictures of people dancing and we painted on rocks and sang and all that kind of thing. I will post the video when I'm done editing, so it may be a while but all these pictures were taken with my GoPro and the ones on the disposable camera I took will be developed. If you are thinking of doing DofE, just do it because it so worth it and we had such great banter (like when we snapped the tent pole and tried to fix it with medical tape..... didn't work) and didn't stop laughing. The only bad thing was that I didn't get the weekend to revise because I am in my second week of exams now and am not as best prepared, but I am revising and it should be good. I hope you had a good weekend and are enjoying the beautiful weather :)

Better late than never....

I am so sorry, I have been so busy lately that I haven't been able to find the time to post :( so I think I am going to write a bit of an update because quite a lot has happened. Since October last year I have been training for Ten Tors, every other weekend going out onto the moors with a group of my friends and walking for 9 hours in whatever conditions, and weirdly enough I loved it :) So on the 10th of May it was the REAL THING and they did it! I wasn't able to walk because I have breathing problems and they got really bad just before so I had to pull out and was so annoyed, but I was able to be a reserve so I went up to the Army base with them the day before and got up at 4:30 am to see them leave and it was amazing. Then, the weekend after I had my Duke of Edinburgh training walk where we had to walk for 2 days around Cornwall, where I live and it was so good (even though the weather was rubbish) because I was with some really lovely people and I have the qualification expedition this weekend and the weather looks amazing :) DofE is on a different level that Ten Tors and a lot easier so I am able to do it. After that it was half term and my family and I drove all of the 9 hours to Scotland to stay in a family cottage, because I am half Scottish (hence the red hair) It was pretty fun, but I had to revise all week because at the moment I am in the middle of my 2 exam weeks. We went of a gorgeous walk through a bluebell wood with some friends of ours and the when we were driving around the moors, we discovered a Buddhist Temple in the middle of Scotland.... it was a bit strange, but really beautiful with all the colours and gold everywhere. Right now I am revising so I haven't got any really recent picture, even though of course I have been too the beach, I mean do I even have to mention in anymore hahah... but I am taking my GoPro and a film camera on my DofE with me this weekend, so I'll see what I get from that. Oh, and I have slipped in a photo of some henna I did, let me know if you want to see more because I am always doing henna :) I hope you had a good half term and good luck if you are doing exams :)
