Adventures in Newmillerdam.

Yesterday me and my lovely boyfriend decided to take a trip out to a local country park and take some photos. It had been a long time since I last visited the beautiful place and the first time for my boyfriend. It's surrounded by a quiet little village filled with quirky pubs and gorgeous homes, not to mention there were two ice cream men at the entrance of the park!
Myself and Luke prepared our cameras and ventured through the park capturing anything and everything using each others lenses and experimenting with our macro filters. We used different techniques such as off lens shooting which complimented the light shining through the leaves of the tress which was rather beautiful. The trees were incredible and made us feel like little insects lost in forest which filled the day with adventure. We wandered through the trees avoiding the paths laid out for us and journeying to find an old bridge I remember being there when I last went - We never found it. Not finding the bridge wasn't unfortunate as we've planned many more visits here in the different seasons ahead and by these pictures you'll see why.



 I'm completely facinated by moss. I've no idea why, I just think it's pretty.


 I don't know how to put it into words but I think most photographers admire the rays of light that can be caught in an image. I found a spot that I never wanted to move from. Every now and then the sun would shine brightly through the trees and produce these gorgeous reflections through my lens. I guess this is why  love nature, it's full of little surprises. 





 And of course, who doesn't have fun when they go out? I spent most of the day hanging out with the local birds. We're close pals now as we greet each other with happy brofists.

My boyfriends pride and joy. His wide angle fisheye that he used for most of the day.


Thanks for reading!

Baby Morgan.

My dear cousins girlfriend gave birth on Monday and we now have a new addition to the family.
Weighing 8 pound, 1 ounce and looking completely adorable I decided to introduce him on my blog.

 I had a go at holding him and he was really light and calm about it. He just laid there and stared me for a while and he's got gorgeous blue eyes. He fell asleep on me for a good 20 minutes, twitching every now and again, making adorable noise but never once cried. He was beautiful.
