AWESOME advertising

The text on the advert reads:

(Left Brain)

“I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.”

(Right Brain)

“I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feat. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.”

Being on holiday is bitter sweet... Bitter as you know you've got to go back to work and back to reality... Sweet because there is definitely no place like home!!

Personal Photography #3

Animal photography is always fun and tricky at the same time. You end up snapping away liking a crazy person and pray that you got that "aaahhhh" shot you dream about. The best advise I can give anyone trying to photograph an animal is (if possible) get down on your knees (and pray) to get eye-level with the animal. This makes a huge difference and allows the viewer to see the animal up close, almost as if they were as big as the animal it self. I know this isn't always possible but from the photos I've uploaded I'm sure you can see that it really makes the difference. Also, never forget that it's vital to try and capture the personality of the animal you're photographing. There's no point in trying to take a photo of your dog (who is naturally lazy and spends all day on the coutch) running around like mad outside. He won't want to do it and you'll just leave feeling frustrated. Most of all KEEP IT SIMPLE! These are just a few tips I can give you but there are loads of tips on the internet so go ahead and google it if you're still a little unsure! HAVE FUN!!!!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the range of bedding from "Bed Toppings"!

On their site they say that... "Bed toppings are designed to make the wonderful world of sleep as fun as possible. When kids go to bed happy they are more likely to have sweet dreams and sleep through the night!"

I'm sure you'll agree that this is SUPER COOL - wish I was a kid again!
Make sure to check out their range!

Personal Photography #2

Today I'm uploading some more of my personal photography. The theme for all of these is "art" and the idea behind it is that the approach to the style would from an artistic background. You will see that some may be blurred, on some the main object captured off to the side as apposed to dead center and on all of them I make use of an interesting crop. These are all elements I've used to try and capture a more creative shot and I think it has paid off! Let me know what you think...
