it’s getting chilly…
… my blog’s turned into ‘weather watch’ or something, what’s that all about?
I think it’s ‘cos I just don’t have an awful lot to say at the moment… and people always talk about the weather in those polite little conversations that mean incredibly little.
I think I’m just trying to keep my hand in… I desperately don’t want to let this blog lie empty again for another month, it’s not a good feeling and I’m sure most of you know from your own blogging experiences how easy it is to let it all slide.
I’m so silly though, ‘cos I make blogging sound like a chore when it’s an absolute delight. Well… when I feel like I have something to say - be it for my readers or just for myself… plus I hate when I get all pity party, so if I’m in a grump… I’m even less likely to update.
Anyway, I wonder if you delightful lot would mind terribly helping a girl out? It’s a risk… ‘cos if no-one replies then I’m worried I’d be quite happy to let my camera bag take root in the corner of the room until it stops getting dark at 3.30 in the afternoon and begins to get warm again.
Please choose a location to force me into some kind of action…
1 of them I’ve been to lots of times with my p&s and I’ve always found it a little ‘blah’ photographically.
1 of them could totally bore me within 5 seconds of getting out the car.
1 of them is tourist central, and it’s hard for me to think outside of the box whenever I go there.
But which one speaks to you? Which one would you go to if you were me?
None of those pictures above are mine, so clicking them links back to their original locations.
The other thing to take into account is that I’ve fallen out with my 17-50mm (gonna send it back for some tweaking soon), so unless I get desperate, I’ve only got the 135mm to work with on a cropped sensor… I’m thinking there’s gonna be lots of detail shots and not a lot of context!
First location to get 3 votes wins and I’ll lever my arse out of this chair and find a use for that scarf I bought off eBay back when Winter seemed like a lifetime away.
Love from me xxx
p.s. If there’s anyone out there like me in need of a kick up the backside some gentle encouragement to go out and shoot for themselves, don’t talk to me… I’ll just encourage you to eat chocolate fingers and watch America’s/Australia’s/Britain’s/Kazakhstan’s (seriously it exists) Next Top Model. I’ll drag you down with me - bwuahaha.






He Lottie! How awesome to see you posting again..Ok ‘ve got something that’ll get you moving. An assignment….Chose 100m anywhere, and make a serie of 8 photographs that represents the 100m. 1) The 100m lcation can be recoginisable, 2) all pictures must make a serie, ie they must be taken with the same concept in mind (chosen by you) 3) when you’re finished, send the pictures to me….It’s my next assignment at the academie…LOL
Honestly whe I saw your bedroom pictures, I thought of it: concept: textures with extreme DOF…The 100m can be a room by the way, can be less than 100m but no more (could be te human body too…. Good luck! Get yourself out there lady! I will get myself to the UK if I hear you again threaten us to let your camera bag in a corner!!!!

Winchester Winchester Winchester…and if I lived anywhere remotely close to you, I’d be taking my arse with you!!!!!! I’d love to go into any of those shops. We could shoot, then shop, then stop for a cuppa….OMGosh….I’d be so there. If I vote three times, does Winchester win?!!!!

Lottie, these are beautiful, and I love the shot at Winchester, absolutely an amazing capture of a beautiful monument!

Lottie! Welcome back. I’ve been checking in & was beginning to get worried. Don’t do that to a girl
I’m going to throw in a vote for Winchester. I think you could get cool detail shots there & more variety than the other 2 locales. And I don’t think anyone can complain about weather watch after seeing your 2 shots. Love them. You can just feel winter…
