The way to heaven is on horseback

Okay, I've got some serious catching up to do. I haven't been feeling 100% so I haven't been posting everyday of got the work done that I need to get done and then it's been time for me to sleep. This week I'm off self study time and back in my usual university routine. Today and yesterday I've spent some time with Charmaine in the darkrooms and we've got quite a bit of work done (I wrote a list and printed all the images on the list that I wanted to print). Yesterday was our annual family bonfire night we also gave Brody his presents as it was his second birthday on Saturday, doesn't time fly by! Then we had the fireworks, I always think that they are really pretty but my favourite part has to be the sparklers!  I love both of these photographs, I tried photographing fireworks last year and it didn't really work but this year it went a lot better and I am really happy with the outcome.  I've spent the majority of today just chill...

Today has been a fairly productive day, this morning I went in to University to get some work done, I wanted to do some printing today and was surprised by how well it went. I didn't stay in for that long because I thought my sister was coming over and also because there was a group that was due to be using the darkroom. I was able to get in there for about an hour though.  A film that I developed earlier in the week. I was so pleased with how these turned out. When I got home I waited until the images were fully dry and then stuck them in my visual technologies book, tomorrow I need to do some writing to go along with the images. I also plan to do some more developing later on in the week or next week.  Film on the roll, before it had even dried. It was such a pretty colour!  This evening I went to my youth groups film night and we watched The Hunger Games. Now this series of films never did appeal to me and today I decided that while I probably won't wa...

First off I'd like to say Hi Maddie (one of the girls from Pony Club who's managed to find my blog) and that I will put the Pumpkin pictures up soon!  At University today we had a workshop on how to print and enlarge negatives. This was really interesting and something that I would like to do more of in the future. I also developed my own film for the first time in my life and I'm surprised by how well it turned out! I won't bore you with the details of how I did it.  Then this evening I had pony club. The first half of the night we did a quiz (which my team one!!!) it was just a general horse knowledge quiz and the majority of things I knew. Then for the other half we spent time grooming the horses and putting them to bed. I helped Ella who is knew to pony club put Pumpkin to bed, and I showed her where things were. It was really good and I got to practice my plaiting on a shorter mane which was nice! That's pretty much all I've done today and now ...
