Peterborough Horse Fair. 2nd January 2013.

Every year around New Year a horse fair is held in the city of Peterborough. This is the first year I have visited this event... I found it was a very interesting environment to take photograph. I was one of a handful of women there; but there were men and boys of all ages looking at the horses, catching up with each other, and enjoying the event. A great little event to photograph with so many things happening.

Horses in the misty fens. 23rd October.

I went out into the fens this afternoon (morning didn't work due to time constraints, but it stayed misty all day), I took my Mamiya & Nikon and headed off to meet some horses. My original idea was to find some nice trees and landscape scenes and photograph them, but instead I found these horses who were so friendly I had to photograph them!!

Hoping to get my film developed soon, so looking forward to seeing the results.. but for now here are some shots from my DSLR:

And a pylon:

In other news, I am off to London on Sunday as I start my time at Rankin on Monday.. pretty excited about this, I shall keep my blog very much up to date about everything which I am getting up to!

Me.. Outside. 16th October.

Today was one of those days where I could have easily been stuck inside all day editing photos and typing up proposals.... I realised this at around 5pm and decided to grab a few camera bits and bobs and head outside for the sunset... Alex Boyd's work "The Sonnets" popped into my head (http://alexboyd.co.uk/sonnets/) and I decided to attempt a couple of self-portraits inspired by his work... this portrait may be miles away from his beautiful photographs, but a) I am not a model and b) I wasn't behind the camera! I may try and find a model to photograph like this.. one day.. but I'm happy with my photo for today!

The Farmyard. 22nd August.

Took these two photos whilst walking around a farmyard today, such an interesting place! Don't really know what else to type, so I'll just let the two photos speak for themselves.

Horses and Sunsets. 24th July.

This evening there happened to be a beautiful sunset, I spied it through my window.. and then rushed off to a location which I knew would compliment a sun set. I decided to face away from the sunset and focus on a group of horses who were running around a field, they weren't the easiest thing to photograph as they were constantly moving and the amount of light was decreasing... but I finally captured this shot, which I was quite happy with.

I did have to capture a typical "picture postcard" sunset shot though, so here it is.
