Haven't been doing much worth posting.

I finally got a film camera so have been messing around with that, a lot cheaper than using disposable. I managed to find a lot of Kodak film for a pound- not the right speed but the results aren't too shabby and then I wait till I go back to the midlands to get them developed. The cheapest in London is £6, home= £3 plus I get a free roll of film because I don't want them put onto a CD. Finding film photography much more interesting than using the SLR. (= my interesting life lol)

Don't worry, I have no intention of becoming a photographer aha. Some Snapshots from places I've been in the last few weeks, Southend and a thames boat ride in the rain aha.

Also dabbled in some collaging, the collaging was done by hand- each flower I took photo's of my self, cut everything out and stuck it together. Then it was scanned in and mirrored on CS5 and messed about with.

It was an entry for a competition but I didn't win. I don't think I followed the brief too well. 

I really like purple at the minute...

I also layered some of my collaging in the background of this photograph (yes I recycled photographs from my "Active" project- but I had two weeks to do it and the competition ended a few days before my final deadline!)  It's supposed to look like she's whipping her hair around and all of the "scents" are flying out. (it was for a scents company aha).

Still no expert on Photoshop, I'm gonna dedicate some of my time over the holidays to do some tutorials online etc.

Also it was my birthday on tuesday, and I was lucky enough to receive a Bamboo tablet from my "in-laws", so I no longer have to do everything on the trackpad on my laptop! colouring etc should be neater from now on.

N.

Need to get practising!
