rather busy...

WELL... I realize I haven't exactly written on my blog for maybe over a year.. 

well a lot has happened..

First me and Matt.. got a puppy..

This is polo, yes he is a Dalmatian and no we do not have another 100 of them..

although now he has grown quite a lot and is 15 months old

so our little puppy isn't quite so little anymore..

weve moved house a couple of times and now he have our own little bungalow..

we got engaged on the 15th December 2012, which was one of the best days of my life so far, apart from having our daughter Lily Rose :)....

now i may be biased but she is the most gorgeous girl in the entire world... 

This is me pregnant and I was only 38 weeks at this point!

yes I got bigger...

then on the 20th February 2013 at 7:45pm our little princess was born

and this was Lilys first morning in the big wide world!..

we found out she wasn't a big fan of photo-shoots at the young age of just 4 weeks, we managed to get 1 good picture out of about 30, so this is me and lily.

So recently now were all settled into our family i'm going to try and get back into my photography.. I took a couple of shots today but they are nothing compared to what i used to be like! (in my opinion anyway)

but I'll let you judge...

This is our driveway..

Our little bungalow..

Now please leave me some comments as usual all are welcome but do remember i am out of practice and should hopefully be getting better haha

 :)

I'll leave you with what happened when I tried to take a serious picture of myself..

didn't go so well..

 :)

oooooo lovely evening!

Well I was sat at home I looked out my window and the rubbish day had turned into a lovely evening (lovely but cold I was soon to find out!) 

So I grabbed the camera and went to the local seaside as it's only down the road, unfortunately the sunset was a bit of a let down but it was still some good practice! 

not much writing tonight, more pictures though! so here you go.....

 

About now.. is when I could no longer feel my fingers :D

I hope I've not bored you to much with these photos in fact I hope you've enjoyed them... 

Please leave me any feedback!!!

:D

it's official, i'm still a novice !

I say I'm still a novice... I actually know ALOT more than when I first started which for self teaching has got to be a good thing :)

Starting to learn a bit more about f-stops and shutter speeds... white balances and other stuff like that still not 100% on how to do it with my camera, yet!

But moving on to todays pictures I had 9 days off and pretty much every single day it was bucketing it down with rain, so as soon as I got an all right day I was out and here are some of the results....

First off my favourite image of the day 

I have this one and one slightly darker and one slightly brighter... and I change my mind on which I prefer constantly!

This next one is my mums favourite! for this picture I was just trying out having the focus in the foreground with something big behind..

Then I tried it a little closer and tbh I prefer this next picture

I then just went round the church taking random pictures seeing what I could find, there were a few things but I don't rate any of the pictures fantasticly but here are a few..

none of these pictures have been edited at all... and I do have a few more but these are just a sample :) 

Hope you enjoy and please leave any feedback and comments you have! 

:D
