Photography

Canon 1100D



In my spare time I love to take photos, I find it one of the most relaxing, calming hobbies to have. I never specifically choose something to photograph but walk around my garden looking for bright, beautiful, interesting flowers/scenery/animals to take pictures of. 

After using a disposable camera, then a standard canon camera with one setting, I finally saved up enough money to buy a Canon 1100D. I always wanted to buy this type of camera, not only because of how nice and professional it looks but also because of the practical side, and the raving reviews it has received. And I can honestly say its been one of the best expensive buys I've made. There are quite a few settings however nothing to complicated which wouldn't take more than one read of the help guide to figure out. It is heavier and less practical to carry around than say a 'normal' camera however I was willing to sacrifice this, and don't mind carrying the camera in an extra bag or around my neck, because to me it is definitely worth it! I've uploaded a selection of photographs I have taken in the past year using the canon 1100D, hope you like them :) 

Love the 'blurred background' effect 
Spotted this butterfly on the flower on holiday in Greece, the camera picks up delicate detail perfectly.
Definitely a favourite picture of mine, love the precise detail and colour
This was taken on a standard setting, I just liked the way the apples contrasted with the grass.

If you're looking for a calming hobby, I really would recommend photography, as you can see my photos are only of an amateur level however if you have the patience and a decent camera you can take photos which you are really happy with and can treasure and be proud of (cheesy I know, but its so true!).

This blog post is a bit different and may not be everyones cup of tea so do let me know if you want to see more photography pictures I have taken/more blog posts like this.

Hope you liked my photos, and are enjoying my blog so far,

  1. If you do a post with photos definitely put more because they are really cute, and quick tip turn off word verification, that thing to prove you're not a robot. Go to settings and then comments and turn off word verification or search it on the internet, it makes it easier to comment :)

  3. Hi! Your photos don't look amateuristic at all, they look really good! I love the lighting and the amount of detail. Makes me want to go out and try it myself! But that usually fails horribly haha
