Bridgnorth Carnival 2016
The Bridgnorth Carnival Parade had some pretty impressive costumes this year!
Kids
On Saturday we went to visit Rory's cousins and I got a chance to test out my newest lens on some fast moving subjects. I always think kids are so much fun to photograph when they're doing their own thing instead of making them sit still. Just look at these faces! :D
Photo Challenge week 24: Artistic 'Sparkle'
It's no secret that I have a bit of a thing for photographing dew drops and rain drops. They're easy to find, easy to shoot and if you can keep still enough, make for really interesting pictures. So I thought it'd be a perfect subject for this week's theme and also a perfect opportunity to show off this rose that I managed to grow. Yay!
Birmingham Seasonal Market - The Bond Digbeth
In October I'll be shooting a wedding at The Bond in Digbeth, Birmingham, and since Chris found himself with a Saturday off when we thought he'd be working I had the opportunity to go over and get a good look around the venue while it was open for one of their quarterly Seasonal Market events.
The setting is a really harmonious mix of, urban and vintage and I can see how it would make a perfect spot for a wedding with all of the romantic twinkling ceiling lights, cobbled stones, ivy covered walls and views of the waterfront contrasting against the colourful yet industrial backdrop. So yeah, it's safe to say I'm extremely excited about this one!
The market itself was fantastic, everything looked delicious, so much so in fact that it took me almost the entire time we were there to decide what I wanted to actually eat. Of course having the sweet tooth that I do I ended up grabbing some MadeWithFudge candies, but only after spending an additional 10 minutes lurking around their stall hungrily eyeballing the donuts. I don't even like doughnuts, but look at them.
Whoever dreamed up the heaven that is strawberry milkshake flavoured fudge, I thank you from the deepest depths of my sugar loving soul.
All in all a great day was had by all, we ate amazing food, weren't too badly harassed by the threatening rain, the vibes were great and the people were lovely. Also, lets take a moment to appreciate this lady, who stopped and posed for my picture like an absolute boss where most would merely hide away or pretend they hadn't seen me.
Until next time. I'll most certainly be back.
This Week: 12/06/2016
This week we acquired a bubble machine which I have every intention of swiping for use as a prop in future photoshoots. Gatsby wasn't as taken by the experience as I'd imagined, but being the faithful creature he is, he stuck with Rory and endured the soapy bubbles. They're such sweet buddies.
