A Screw Loose!

Anything can be a photograph.

When I went to college, and began my training, my tutor told me that you can make anything and everything into a photo. And she wasn’t wrong.

I often find myself notice everything on my travels – I love being able to turn objects, like a light switch and pile of books, into “fill the frame” type images.

But these screws really caught my eye.

Fill the frame is one of my favourite photographic techniques I have learned and mastered over the years of being a photographer.

It’s such a simple technique – just move your camera closer to the object, focus and snap!

Light Trails

In photography, light trails are when you can see the pattern that is left from lights.

These can be done using your torch on your phone, a coloured filter over a light source, through a glass for added effects – anything. Although, you will need a camera, or camera equipment that allows you to alter the shutter speed.

A slower shutter speed allows the above effect. I usually have the shutter speed on 10 seconds. Doing so at night, gives a better effect than during the day. If you want lights, nighttime is the time.

Shutter speed of 10 seconds, F11 and iso 100

These will need to be altered, depending on the amount of natural light you have.

These were taken in my hallway, with a torch!

Find a dark space, set up your camera and have fun!

You can literally spend hours playing around with these effects!

Have fun!

Leeds, UK

Last year, I went to Leeds with my friend.

We like to meet up once a year, where both of us have to travel and Leeds is always the winning destination for us.

Mainly because we have a great time having afternoon teas and a good shopping trip, but also for the photographic memories of the beautiful city.

Graffiti Gallery

I park my car in a football stadium car park for when I visit town.

It may be a mile round hike to and from the car, but it’s reasonably priced, there’s always a space and hey, it burns a few calories!

To and from my destination, I walk down/up a rather salubrious back alley.

All full of graffiti, it’s hard not to stop and admire the artistry.

Je T’aime
Party Fluffy Marco
Wheelie Graffiti

I can’t always make out the words, but the talent always catches my eye.
