Dog Walking Photography

I have been at home the past week and a half for easter which means I am not doing much apart from uni work and sitting around eating chocolate. For that reason I often take the dogs out, sometimes offering, sometimes more begrudgingly when it is snowing and cold-like today. (oh hey summer, fancy appearing soon?)

When the weather has been nice this week I have taken my camera and had a play around with different settings including the white balance which meant I ended up with some fairly beautiful purple skies and clouds which I rather like :)

I hope the sun comes out more so I can take more shots like this, its a nice break from editing images!

Day 1-normal colour settings and Toby looking extra hairy

Day 2- Lots of purple sky

Home for christmas

I am now home for christmas and I have been spending this week getting ready for christmas in the Lake District with the family. Having so many deadlines so close to christmas has meant i haven't chilled out for a while so its nice to have not a lot to do for once!

I photographed my cousins wedding a couple of weeks ago which was really fun, if a little stressful as I had never done it before! I decided after that weekend that my SLR was getting a bit sad and old and it was time to invest in a new one so I managed to trade it in for a new Nikon just in time for christmas :) 

Here are some christmassy pictures from around my house. I also downloaded Lightroom last week which is an absolute godsend if you are editing large batches of photos, i would definitely recommend it.

Because we are nice to the environment these days we have a willow christmas tree!

My dogs are fairly rubbish at staying still for photos... Toby just likes to run straight at the camera and try and jump on me rather than look at the lense...
