Starting photography



You will need: a camera, an imagination.
  • Look around you. What do you see? Does it deserve to be captured in time? If you like something, an object or landscape or person, take a picture, because someone else will probably like it too.
  • Find something uniquely you. If you want photography to be something you do every day, your pictures have to be different. You can't have the same style as someone else, so look at things from a different angle.
  • Know your equipment. e.g. You don't know what that button on your camera does? Find out. Ask someone, or read the camera's manual (which hopefully you haven't thrown away like me- ha ha!) There is someone I know called Google, ask him and you are sure to be alright. Tip: ask the staff in the shop about your camera before you buy it!
  • Learn the tricks. Ask other photographers for advice and tips. Sometimes they will know a little more than you.
  • There is always going to be someone better than you. And worse. Accept that some people have been taking photos for longer than you. And some people have been for less. But that's OK. They are all fellow camera-lovers and will all inspire and encourage you in their own (no matter how crazy) way.
Today's quote is:

Sometimes the little things can make a difference.


An eight year-old said that to me today. See if that can help you with your photography.

I'd like to send a shoutout to my crazy friend, Chatterbox (you know who you are) :)

 If I missed any tips, or if you guys know any tips, or you, Chatterbox have found this, please write a comment.

World Book Night!

Hi guys! HAPPY WORLD BOOK NIGHT! I'm not sure if I'm right, but I know WBD (World Book Day) was on the third of March. According to the WBD website  , today is World Book Night. I think this event is more for people in their teens, so I decided to celebrate this one instead of WBD, which is more for younger people. Anyways, I don't know what I'm meant to do for WBN, so I'm just gonna do a list of books that changed my reading life. (These books include books I read when I was much smaller than I am now) This doesn't contain any spoilers. BOOKS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE (AND YOU MUST READ THEM) Girl Online Series by Zoe Sugg This book is a book that inspired me to do two of my favourite things, blog and take pictures. I don't know who I'd be if I hadn't found the first book at my old Book Swappers club two years ago! AND it was written by my favourite YouTuber! The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins I know every teen loves this book...

I've written a SHORT STORY!!!

So I have written a short story about a girl, and she loves music. I hope you enjoy it! EEEEK! I really enjoyed writing it. The title is based on a line the song "American Pie" by Don McLean. If you spot any mistakes, just comment below. And tell me what you think in the comments!  THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED   By Meain Girl The traffic on the way home was terrible. I was so bored in the bus, I actually got all my homework done. When I got off the bus, I ran home, opened the door and went upstairs, taking the usual two steps at a time. I ran into my room, grabbed my guitar and started to practice the song me and Edmond wrote. Me and Edmond have been best friend’s since I moved into the neighbourhood. He lives on the street behind me, so it’s easy to keep in touch. While I was in the middle of thinking what to put in the next verse, the doorbell rang. I was hoping it was Mum or Dad so they could put on the dinner. But who was at the door but Beth. Argh- Beth. She is my ann...

Ginger and Chocolate Biscuits

Hi guys! This is a really nice recipe, which I found in a cookbook in my kitchen (a really old one without a publisher written on it!) and I came across a recipe for 'biscuits'. They could have came up with something more original! Anyway, I tried that recipe but the biscuits were very plain and boring, so I decided to spice it up a little (I actually used spices) ;) Here is the recipe I use (which is half from the book and half from me!) Makes about 18 biscuits (it depends on the cookie cutter you use, really) For the biscuits: 350g plain flour 3 teaspoons of ground ginger, or 4 teaspoons if you're a ginger lover! 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda 100g butter 175g soft light brown sugar 1 egg 4 tablespoons of golden syrup For the chocolate icing (don't really know what to call it!): 165g milk/dark chocolate (whichever you prefer) Handful of sprinkles Heat your oven to 180C, 350F gas mark 4. Storage:Keep in an airtight container and eat within six d...
