Camera update - hurrah!

I'm so excited - I have anew camera! Thank to a great friend, I've been able to get my mits on a 5D (not the mk2). It's second hand but it an amazing condition and I got a few extras (12 gbs of memory, E4 battery grip + 4 regular batteries and etc) which is all really great.

I have 3 or so important shoots this month so finally having a full frame dslr makes me feel a lot more confident - obviously the camera doesn't make you a better photographer, but it'll certainly be a helpful step-up from my 400D (I've been finding it very limiting recently, and at last I can get the full potential out of my cheap-and-cheerful 50mm f/1.8!)

Below are two images I snapped using the 5D - a crappy self portrait (sorry for obvious skin edits, my skin is awful this Autumn), and an unedited coffee table and mug shot haha. I love the colours and clarity of the last image - I can't wait to use this camera in a more official capacity and show everyone what I have planned.

London Calling

Film and fun with Annie in London

random expired film

As the title suggest - some film! Nothing special from me here I'm afraid, but I want to put these up somewhere at least :)

Photos from London: Caitlin and Elle

I didn't realise I hadn't done this, but some "final" photos from London :) There's probably a few more on sjwatlon.carbonmade.com.

Caitlin, whilst asissitng Frenchie:

The beautiful, lovely and talented Elle Hardwick, whilst I was in Camden with Frenchie again:

Sunday lovely Sunday.

Feel free to laugh - my face looks weird and I ALWAYS seem to look like I'm frowning or cross, haha. So that's not intentional at all. I'll try to re-shape my eyebrwos at some point.
Oh, and cheap (ancient) lipstick? Fail too, but you know. That's what happens when Boots is closed on a Sunday and you fancy taking photos.

However, INSPIRE meet up inspired me to try and well..do more. I have no models and I need to practice at shooting bodies/faces, so I'm using myself.

I should get my remote this week too, which will make life easier. I'll work on more failtraits next week if we have some sun, in other words






uncropped/rotated:

ALSO. For £15 I got these -

10 rolls of expiried film from eBay. I'm not sure when they expired yet, but, it's ridiculously cheap so I'm happy with it. If anyone's interested in these I'll link you to the seller.
I'm excited!
