Hanging on in there...

For me the last few weeks have flown past in an absolute blur, all i seem to be doing is revising, homework and more homework and to be quite honest it feels like I'm not getting a lot back from it at the moment. Motivation works like this; you imagine your end goal/ what you want out of something , you put the hard work and effort in, and the last part- you supposedly start seeing yourself getting closer to your end goal before finally achieving it. Unfortunately for me at the moment i seem to be putting lots of effort in and struggling to see myself improving within certain subjects(TRIPLE SCIENCE) However, despite how many times I've said that i would do anything to go back in time and not take triple science, i wouldn't; it's allowed me to realise that Science isn't the right career path for me and only recently have i fully discovered my love for writing and media and that i would love to pursue a career in Journalism!

I will persevere with school work, revision and aiming towards my future goals as all i can do is try my best and hope for the best! For anyone approaching their GCSE'S or other stressful times- Good luck and I'm sure you can do it!

To be honest i can't wait until i have completed my GCSE'S and to go on holiday and just unwind and relax after all the stress and pressure of exams. Bring on Summer- even though Winters only just come to an end..

I know this post is completely random and unnecessary, but i felt like i needed a chat and to get a few thoughts out of my mind. It's nearly Friday so hang on in there!

Summer Photography

My most recent photography project is colour, I was limited where I could go this weekend so I thought why not become adventurous with glitter! I went into the garden searching for some inspiration and suddenly the idea of  merging glitter and flowers together formed.

 I started simply with a silver glitter on a single daisy. This is my favourite picture that I took as I think it's so summery and delicate and I also love the contrast between the daisy and the grass.

I then experimented with different colours of glitter on multiple daisy's, I love the way this photograph brings focus to the two daisy's with glitter on and i especially like the macro effect.

I also found different types of flowers as the glitter gives  a different effect to each flower. I love the way the silver glitter is dispersed throughout the dandelion as it looks more natural.

Finally i played around with putting  all the glitters onto one flower, i did this by putting one colour on each petal of the flower. I was delighted with the way this photograph turned out and i particularly like how the other flowers surround it.

                                                         3 tips for photography  

1. Think outside the box, try and come up with your own ideas and don't be afraid to try something new or something that may seem a little bit weird. This is usually how you get the best photographs!

 

 

2. Work with what you've got, if you can't go somewhere to take photographs then keep it simple and take pictures around your village or in your garden, you can always edit them later on.

 

 

3. If you can't take the perfect photographs straight away then don't give up or stress over it, practice is the key and it always takes time to get better at something.
