On a hungover trip to Widemouth Bay beach; me and a friend decided to swap cameras, and I played around with her Pentax -DA, and she played with my Canon 600D. The camera itself is nice to hold and easy to navigate around. The camera had a fish eye add on, attached to the lens. It was my first time using a fish eye, I think the fish eye is fun to use and give images a quirky edge, which are aesthetically pleasing.

These were just a couple from the afternoon.

Personal Best | Abstract Landscape

It is nearing the end of my first year of my degree course and I still feel slightly apprehensive towards choosing a particular field I envisage myself working. I have never concentrated on one area; I have always floated between and dipped my toes into a few. I know what I enjoy and I know what I don’t. Therefore decided that was the best starting point. My main visual influence has been the landscape, and the place in which I live in. I live in a small North Cornish town, Bude, situated in the perfectly balanced spot, sandwiched between a beautiful coastline, and elegant countryside.Influences of the natural world have always filtered into my work in one way or another. I enjoy creating images which others will enjoy, but I also enjoy creating pieces of work which question the norm and the ‘conventional way’. Bude is full of very commercial photography, with images consisting of postcard perfect landscape shots; sunsets, slow exposures, camper vans and Cornish flags. I wanted to change the way we view our small little town. This series will consist of twelve digital images, which explore colour, texture, distortion and blur. The idea is a play on perspective and the way we which view the image. Making the audience aware of the other elements rather then this typical ‘postcard’ image.
