I'll be watching you. 15th November.

I went out for a little walk today and this cat was sitting at a window just watching people pass by, so I took a photo of it! I have always liked the idea of having a cat, maybe one day I will get a cat, I mainly like the idea of a cat because they are quite simple to look after, whereas dogs are quite high maintenance (I would prefer dogs though!). Going to be a bit hectic over the next few days, have quite a few deadlines for briefs coming up and I want to make sure that the photographs are as good as they can possibly be! 

Portraiture.

I had two portrait shoots planned this week. I get quite inspired by portrait photographers and their work and I like having a go at portrait photography every now and then! Sadly I had to cancel one shoot due to the fact it was bucketing it down with rain all day... but I had a shoot yesterday with a good friend of mine, Mary... It went well and was quite fun! Here's a couple of photos from the shoot:

I didn't have many plans for the shoot, so I just played about with different locations and poses... and through this shoot I have gained some inspiration for a project which will be called Oblivious, so look out for more information on that soon!

I enjoy portraiture and find it interesting trying to link Landscape photography and Portraiture together, I think I will definitely do some more portrait shoots in the future! 

Rutland water!

Hi!
So yesterday I biked round Rutland water and did some landscape photography. For those who don't know, Rutland water is one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe... so it's pretty big! People say that you have to be dedicated to be a landscape photographer and after biking 25 miles of varying terrain I know what they mean! It makes me really respect photographers such as  Ansel Adams and the current-day photographer Joe Cornish who shoot stunning landscape photography with massive 10x8 cameras!
Even though I really ache... I have to say that it was definitely worth it! Here are a couple of photos from the trip:

I have plenty more photos to upload and edit though, so if you want to keep updated then "like" my facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RuthJonesPhotography) as I'll be posting the photos over the next week or so!

:D

Nature!

If I were asked what genre of photography the majority of my work would fit into I would say Landscape, because Landscape is a genre I really love and want to pursue.
I have decided to experiment a little bit with other genres and have decided to attempt a little bit of wildlife photography over the summer... It's quite hard because I don't really have any equipment suited to wildlife photography... but I like challenges!

I found loads of these cool little caterpillars (cinnabar moth caterpillars) on a wildlife photography walk I went on... this is probably one of my favourite wildlife photographs so far! You can find more wildlife photography here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150703671425046.705990.407058550045&type=1

Some people may say wildlife photography and landscape photography go hand in hand, they're probably looking at the obvious similarity... photographing the natural world. But they're quite different, landscape is the bigger picture whereas wildlife is picking out small details!

I shall probably have a few more goes at wildlife photography as it is quite enjoyable!
