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.

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...

Stuff To Do On a Rainy Day

Hi!  I hope you all liked my short story, and if you haven't seen it yet, check it out. So it's really rainy outside, so I thought I'd make a list (long term readers, you get me by now) of things you can do on rainy days. But first, here's a little picture of what the weather was like yesterday, just to show you how annoying the weather is: Argh! How irritating! Here's the list: A short list of things to do on a rainy day Find a board game Even though they have gone a bit out of fashion, they are still fun at desperate times, like on rainy days. Start writing a story All you need is some characters, something you are interested in, an unexpecting twist and an imagination for this on a rainy day. Bake a cake This can be really fun on a dull day, and a piece of cake can really help. You don’t have to bake a cake, you can make anything with the ingredients you have. Clean your room This doesn’t sound fun. But i...

How to talk to someone (without them dying of boredom)

Hello! I'm back. It's been eleven days since my last post. How was your Christmas? Did you have a brilliant New Year? So you may have noticed the extremely weird and long title? You probably did. You know when you are having a conversation and then you both don't know what to say and there's a long, akward silence where you stand there for ages and then end up saying "So..." on repeat? This list of non-small talk questions will make your talking life much more interesting. Obviously you should always start with introducing yourself, ask them the usual questions and once you get to know them better, ask them some of these random questions: If you were an instrument, which one would you be, and why? If you could bring a fictional character to life who would it be, and why? If you were an animal what would you be, where would you live, and why? If you weren't human, what living thing would you be, and why? If you were an item of clothing, what wo...
