27 Million Tour & A ladybird. 3rd March.

I was in my garden earlier and saw this ladybird, I thought it would make an interesting photograph as it shows how us, humans, are not the only inhabitants of our gardens, but gardens are actually teaming with hundreds of different life forms!

Yesterday Matt & Beth Redman and LZ7 came to my church, Kingsgate. The concert was part of the 27million tour, 27 million is a song which has been written to raise awareness of human trafficking and the fact that there are 27 million slaves in the world. The song/tour are supporting the A21 charity, it is such a great charity and I highly recommend that you check it out!

A little bit of music photography...

As I have previously said, even though my main photographic interest is Landscape photography I enjoy exploring other genres. On Saturday I had the perfect opportunity to  explore a different photographic genre. My Church (Kingsgate Community Church) was hosting a concert by the chart topping band LZ7.

I found it hard to shoot using the equipment which I have as the environment I was shooting in was quite dark. But challenges such as that mean that I have to quickly learn how to work around them and still try to produce high quality photographic work.

More photos from the concert.

I really enjoyed shooting the concert and if anything else like this comes my way I'd definitely do it again! You learn so much about photography by trying new things, and what you learn can easily effect how you would normally shoot!
