Look Beyond

I've been really enjoying taking pictures of people lately especially little children.

This little girl lives next door. She is hyperactive as most children are so it is really trying to get her to stay still enough to grab a quick shot. I probably got this after countless failed attempts.

Her name is Eunice.
I used the 50mm f/1.4 for this. It has a few focusing issues but other than that it's an amazing lens!

Day 5 - Singular

The last day of the 5 day black and white photo challenge. This has been fun. I've gone back and processed some photographs that I never though would get to see the light of day and they've looked really good. Today's upload is one such image.

This didn't look particularly interesting in colour but it just popped in black and white.

Day 4 - The Chains That Bind

Day 4 of the black and white photo challenge.
Not sure who started this challenge but it's a good idea.

I'd shot this photograph earlier this year and never looked at it again until the challenge. Once I converted it to black and white it just popped and looked great.

It's back to exams now so I might not be really active but I'll try and reply to messages, comments etc. as soon as I can.

Hope you've had a great weekend.

Day 3 - Future Hope

Today is Day 3 of the Black and White Photo Challenge.

I'm actually running out of people to nominate since most people have already completely the challenge.

This is a macro shot of the centre of a rose. God's creation is so amazingly detailed and always so interesting. I didn't intend to convert this to black and white but once I did I just loved the feel of the photograph.

Day 2 - Bringing The Clouds

Today is Day 2 of the Black and White Photo Challenge.

I didn't think I would enjoy this so much but this is fun. It's forced me to work outside my comfort zone and see things differently and that's a really good thing. I've been going back and reprocessing some photographs and they look amazing in black and white which is interesting.

So, everyday I'm supposed to upload one black and white photograph for 5 consecutive days while also challenging one other person everyday to do the same.

This was shot on my phone so the quality might not be that great but I really like the photograph.

Black And White Challenge - Day 1

One of my friends on Facebook challenged me to upload one black and white photograph everyday for the next five days. Today is the first.

I don't usually do a lot of black and white photographs so this should be interesting.

The Connection

I'm really running out of ideas for picture captions (also my blog post titles).

Anyway my friends wanted me to take a few pictures of them so we met up and got a few good ones. This is probably one of my favourites from the entire lot.
