I had mentioned the unusual cattle we had seen in the ‘animal’ blog post from the Easter bank holiday outing. They had long woolly coats and hair balls got stuck on barbed wire nearby.
I got some macro shots of this as I thought it was worth capturing. I don’t think it’s entirely obvious that its hair from cattle, unless you put it into context of the cattle that were grazing nearby.
I wasn’t sure how the hair got there; I thought it might have blown into the barbed wire by the wind. Anyhow, I thought it was kind of interesting!
I wanted to dedicate a blog post to ropes alone. There was such a selection of ropes to choose from near Skinnygrove beach, including a mixture of old and warn and then more new.
The style of these particular shots is pretty traditional. I was thinking it would be interesting to sell them as stock images online if websites would be interested – watch this space!
Not all the rope images are completely traditional. I had taken an image on a life float, found in an old boat. It had been taken in an uncharacteristic way, using old debris around it and damaged materials.
While out and about we saw some really unusual cattle. They were brown, with long fluffy hair. When we walked passed where they were grazing we noticed loads of hair balls stuck to the barbed wire!
Also just as I was getting in the car, a woman walked out with this large group of different kinds of dogs. I thought it was quite comical, as I could see there was such a selection of different breeds.
I was lucky to get this shot of the dogs, because it was a quick moment before she walked off into the distance. I used auto colour in Photoshop to remove the colour tint from the car window. This worked well in my opinion; you can’t really tell it was taken from inside of a car.
Here is a mixture of abstract and miscellaneous shots from my Easter Monday photography trip. I produced quite a lot of photos of boats and experimented with dof/macro.
We first went as a group to Pinchinthorpe and had a walk around. Although the weather that morning wasn’t brilliant, we still had fun. We went to the cafe and had a wander.
I’ve been to Skinnygrove once or twice now and love it! Particularly the textures and debris found around the seafront area. I like having a look around the old sheds, so many interesting things to photograph!
Easter has come around so fast, but luckily I finished my Easter Cards well in advance. These are the last of the Easter cards to blog.
I made a selection of cards at different prices. Blogged previously I made smaller 75p cards for my Mums friends. The cards here are a little more expensive, for close family members.
Two of these cards I made at Creative Crafts using a template and the other I made at home using my photography work as a centre piece on the card.
Please comment below if you have a link to cards that you have made for Easter. And a final note: I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Easter!
I thought I would blog post an event I went to based in Saltburn. There have been a couple of vintage fairs run in Saltburn. The first event was held at Profile gallery and I did some event photography work for this. The link to this blog post is here.
This time the event was held in the community hall. I was impressed with the different pieces available to buy. Since going to the vintage fairs, I have developed a love for all things vintage.
I think my personal taste in clothes has altered; I have a vintage edge to some of the things I buy. I saw a couple of nice dresses and bags etc at the fair too.
I liked the community spirit of the event and I bumped into lots of different people I had met previously at the fair or through Profile Gallery.
I was a bit disappointed I didn’t get any photographs on this occasion, I’m normally snap snap snap but the hall was quite compact/too busy and felt developing my networking skills instead may be a of use.
If I gave you my business card at the fair, I just wanted to thank you for getting in touch through my blog!
