New Beginnings

There has been a lot of change in my life recently. I've known it's been looming but now I'm in the thick of it I feel a little out my depth.

I have a new job, it's wonderful and incredible and I love every second but on top of all the other change it's a little too much. I'm moving house, my nan is not very well and I'm expected to retain so much new information at work.

I'll get through it though.

I have more exciting news to report! I've just invested (from my first paycheck) in a SLR film camera and I'm very excited to try it out (and name it!) next week when it is due to arrive. The purpose of the investment is to force me to focus my photography more, I tend to simply point and snap at everything with my digital because i know I can, hopefully this way I'll have to take more time over each shot and theoretically produce higher quality and lower quantity photos.
That's the plan anyway.

Week Forty Two

Week Forty Two, a photo by DaniLizC on Flickr.

This is part of my 52 week project for Flickr. I took inspiration from a fellow Flickr user and this is the result.

Baby it's cold outside...

As part of my 52 week project, I decided to do some snow photography (I mean, why wouldn't you...) but because I have been stuck in bed ill for the last few days I had to attempt this late.

The results were images I love because they tell a story, but I also took other photos which were simply just nice photos of the snow.

Don't cha just love snow!!

In the beginning...

Ok so it's 2013 and about time I started to use a Blog properly.

I'm an amateur photographer and want to make myself known.
I live in mid- Norfolk and am in my final year at the University of Lincoln, studying history.

Photography is only a hobby to me, with the option of pushing it further in future. I have a website here, or why not have a look at my 52 week project and my other favourite photos on Flickr here?

For now though, why not just follow me and see what I get up to?

The best of TwentyTwelve

Last year I achieved my New Years resolution. On January 1st I told myself I would Be Better.

I achieved these in various areas of my life, kayaking, horse riding, education, but most importantly for this, in photography.

This was mainly down to my 52 week project which I began over the summer months (and which you can view here, as a work in progress) but also due to better equipment, and finding a person who shared my passion and motivated me into going and and taking more pictures.

Here is the best of TwentyTwelve in my pictures:
