I went out this morning with the intention of photographing the sunrise. Well that plan went completely to pot and I have very little to show for the trip except for a receipt from Costa and a few mediocre photos of the horrible weather...

Here's Rae, a wonderful person who's become one of my closest friends lately. We went on a little adventure this afternoon, taking photos on the beach before a cheeky Costa on the way home.

This was my first dedicated photo-trip out of the year, and I can say now that I really needed to get out and take some photos because I was getting sick of sitting doing schoolwork or playing Skyrim (despite how awesome it is).

Well, it's that time of year again. Christmas and New Year celebrations have been and passed and now everyone's preparing for the challenges the next 12 months will present... I've got a pretty important year ahead of me, and hopefully this time next year, who knows, I might've put in my application for university and heard back from one or two... But for now I'm focusing on my AS levels this summer.

This was taken last summer following my GCSEs and I recently discovered it sitting on my computer. Funnily enough, this has turned in to one of my favourites of 2011. This simple shot is a refreshing change from the HDR shots I've been doing lately really.

A group of some of us teens here on Flickr took part in a collab photo to wish you all a very merry Christmas. (I loved seeing who'd all taken part when it was done, because some of these people are big inspirations to me and my photography.) Huge thanks to Shelby for organising us all and putting together the final image!

I'm thinking of giving my Flickr a good old fashioned clearout... I want it to be more about quality photos that show off my photography, rather than photos that I felt obliged to upload. I never seem to be happy whenever I look back at old photos, and I've noticed my style change more recently, so a lot of my old portrait work just looks kinda, um, crappy really...

I think it's also weird how into HDR I've gotten lately. I never used to like the technique, but as my tastes have changed I've really grown quite fond of it.
