Photography Cycle Ride

The other day I decided to go out for a bike ride with my camera. Now, having played rugby for 7 years before I came to university, then stopping and replacing it with fast food, beer and playing xbox, I was a little worried about how far I could actually cycle! Nervously I set off, wondering if I could make it to the place I had in mind, with my camera equipment in my backpack!

Surprisingly enough, I climbed the hill all the way to the place where I wanted to get to, and didn't feel too bad! So I carried on and on until I started to feel a little tired then took a country road to go and see what I could discover.

Luckily enough for me, I picked a great road to turn down, because all of these photos were taken within 50 metres of me actually turning onto the road! I also really enjoyed the cycle ride, not including some of the crazy drivers out there who give you the tiniest bit of space, and I think I am going to do more of them!

Here are the photos from the day:
1. A yellow flower
2. A garden fence
3. A cool house with a windmill attached to it!
4. A bush in the garden of the house
5. A field
6.  A spiky bush

There is another flower picture but it is going to be posted on Friday, so keep an eye out for it!

Bradgate Silhouettes

This post was supposed to be all about silhouettes (as you can tell from the title), which is what I set out to shoot on my little adventure in Bradgate Park but if you read on you'll see why that is not strictly true. If you haven't seen what I have been doing in Bradgate Park then what is wrong with you! It's been my last 4 posts! But I'll forgive you, and be extra nice by giving you the links to them here:



Anyway, as I was saying, I set out to capture some silhouettes when the sun was setting. I have never really done this so it was really experimental. When I was out and about I was surprised by how good the silhouettes seemed to look, it was only until I got home and plugged my SD card in that I saw that they wern't perfect silhouettes as some details and colours of the foreground were still showing. However, for a first try they aren't so bad!

1. Greg as the sun set - This is probably my favourite photo I have ever taken, I am really proud of it!
2. A funky tree
3. A bench in the distance
4. Rex at a distance
5. Hillside and the monument
6. Greg in a field

Have you had any luck taking silhouette photos?
