Photo Every Day #66

Today I got some photos back that I'd had developed. They were a random assortment of things; some from the Cheshire Game & Country Fair; some of some horses; some of Pixie and the rest of the abandoned airfield. Most of them I'm happy with but some look a litle yellow so I'm going to have a play around and see if I can enhance them. This one is my instant favourite though.

Today I have been browsing Game Of Thrones related products and have decided I'd like a poster to go up in my study. I'm beginning to think that I'm not going to have enough wall space for all the things I want to put up around the house! I've also been doing a bit more editing of the photos from the airfield.

Song Of The Day: Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have
Reason: Amazing song that I can really relate to.

Highlight Of The Day: A bit of me time.

Inspiration Of The Day: Finding a couple of jobs that I'd like to get! Something is out there, just have to keep looking.

This evening I have been Pinterest-ing and doing a bit of photo editing. We had my Dad over for tea, which was nice, then the boy went to bed early leaving me to my artistic hour! I'm so obsessed with Pinterest at the moment. I'm using it to look for ideas for decorating my new house since I have a blank canvas; the main reason I wanted a brand new build. There's some amazing inspiration for anything you could think of! Lovely! I've also edited some photos from our third trip to the abandoned airfield. It was a nice day so we were able to get some good shots. I think I've come out with my best ever photo too! The lighting was just stunning in the toilets inside the lab building so it's created a shot I'm super happy with.

Horror Movie Bathroom:

Song Of The Day: Lana Del Rey - Riding In Cars With Boys
Reason: I wish I had the life she sings about.

Highlight Of The Day: Editing my masterpiece!

Inspiration Of The Day: Gothic interior photos on pinterest.

Today we took our third trip to the abandoned airfield to take some photos. I'll be editing and uploading them over the coming weeks. I also went for a meal with my Mum and Step Dad at the Choy Hing Chinese Restaurant which was lovely. Now I'm trying to have an early night ready for filming tomorrow!

Hidden Snails:


Song Of The Day: Fall Out Boy - My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark
Reason: Really catchy with a creepy, quirky edge.

Highlight Of The Day: Going to the airfield!

Inspiration Of The Day: Taking my own urbex photos inspired by many, many other urbex photographers' work that I've seen over the years. Far too many to mention!

This is the chest that we bought from the carboot yesterday. It's a good size, nearly as high as the bed and plenty deep enough for all my camera gear that I intend to keep in it. It's nice and rusty and looks as though it was forgotten about in an abandoned building for years. It's like my very own piece of abandonment right in my house and it's beautiful.

Lock:


Song Of The Day: Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
Reason: If I could listen to songs in an abandoned place, this would be one of the first to be played.

Highlight Of The Day: Playing with my ratties

Domestic Sluttery: Wallpaper Wednesday: Merci's Brooklyn Tin Tiles

I often read the articles on a site called Domestic Sluttery, so I'm going to start sharing the ones I like the most! So here goes, the first one is about some gorgeous wallpaper that gives the old, decaying urbex look that I love so much! 

Domestic Sluttery: Wallpaper Wednesday: Merci's Brooklyn Tin Tiles: Sometimes I like wallpaper to be wallpaper. You get to play with motifs and fool around with colour and quirky design. But then there are...

Today I have been working on editing, or rather tweeking, some of the photos I want to go into my starter portfolio. I've mainly been playing with the ones taken at Blackpool and Southport on the Diana F+ just to bring out the colours a bit more. I've also started looking through some of the ones from when we went urbexing in Salford. So this is a sneak peek!

Footprint On The Moon:


Song Of The Day: The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Dammit, Janet
Reason: The best musical film in the world, plus the only one I've ever liked!!Even typing the song title makes me want to burst out singing it at the top of my voice!

Highlight Of The Day: Just having a chilled evening working on my photos.

Today has been a good day! Firstly, we went on the Lubitel Lovers with Leshetz. The Lubitel is definately the camera now at the top of my list! I'll give a full run down of the workshop once we get the photos back. After the workshop, we went walking round the run down, abandoned buildings of Salford. I took a fair amount of pictures even though we only managed to get into one building. So this is a sneak peek.

Falling Down:


Song Of The Day: Alex Clare - Too Close
Reason: The live lounge version is amazing! Such a talented singer.

Highlight Of The Day: Being inspired by an awesome photographer
