Sent to Coventry

On Tuesday I took a stroll around Coventry City Centre with the intention of getting some shots of the old Cathedral, which was bombed by the Nazis in World War II. The graphic shapes and wonderful textures of the ruins lent themselves perfectly to some mono treatment, and here's some of my favourites.

Later on, Mum and I went into town to do some low-light photography. However, before Mum could even take one shot she fell over and broke her foot, so our excursion was cut short. I did get these shots while we waiting for someone to come a pick us up. We'll have to go back again when she's out of plaster!

Chilis, Dogs and Running Water

Well I've been keeping myself busy this week with a variety of different pictures. I started off on Monday morning by taking a table of things out to my garden and experiementing with a bit of macro photography. The chilis in these shots were all grown by my Grandad - pretty impressive I think!

For the rest of the week I've been at Ellie's house, acting as dog-sitter for her Grandma's Westie while she's away on holiday. As well as meaning lots of walks, I've also been able to get some good shots for my Pets gallery, here are my favourites.

Most of the aforementioned walks have had some point where I've gone over to Kenilworth Common, and I wasn't going to let those photo opportunities get away now was I? I finally managed to have a go at shooting moving water, and was pretty pleased with the results.

And that's about it really for this week. Tomorrow I'm meeting Shinedown when they play in Birmingham, while Saturday I've got, not only my first baby shoot, but I'm also shooting the two sons of a family friend. Busy, busy, busy - excellent! This final image is from the Common and is the result of merging 9 seperate images to create the final one.

Sunset near Bulkington

Although I don't do it very often, I do quite like to do a bit of landscape photography occasionally, and this evening I decided to nip over the fields that surround Bulkington and snap a few frames, mainly because I haven't taken any other pictures this week. I only took a few shots, and here's my favourite three.

This week I'm interviewing the band Shinedown for Powerplay Magazine as well as shooting them live, and next weekend I've got my first ever baby shoot! Hopefully this time next week I'll have added another string to my photographic bow.
