Sunsets, Blossom and Bluebells

“I’ll wait for you under the bluebells. I’ll be there always.”

Three of my most favourite things to Photograph. So imagine how pleased I was to capture a few snaps of each this weekend. There was rain, there was sun and there were bluebells! It’s that time of year again. It was beautiful sight to see a forest covered in the colourful flowers, and we weren’t the only ones out in force with the camera.

With the final month of this years university courses coming up, the time I have to take Photographs, and probably even breathe, will be limited. But I cannot wait to have a Summer off – I haven’t had one since starting the degree since we worked through Summers before. So I’m looking forward tremendously to having some time to just not have to think about writing essays or revising for exams!

So these may be my last photos for a few weeks, but don’t go anywhere! I’ll definitely make up for it when I return! In the meantime, enjoy a few more Bluebells, Blossoms and the odd sunset…

A Day at the Races

“To finish first you must first finish.”
– Mears -

The great thing about having an unwritten bucket list, is that you can add things to it that you’ve already done! That counts too right? I never ever dreamed that I would find myself flying in a helicopter above the town that I live in, watching a British Touring Car Championship…but you know what? It did happen!

I’m quite wary of high things, high staircases, high hills, cliffs…and in the hour that I had from deciding to fly, to actually doing it, all sorts of thoughts were flying through my mind. But I think having less time to worry and more time to get the camera ready helped a fair bit.

For my boyfriends Birthday, I’ve been planning four weekends of ‘awesome things.’ Watching the championship at Thruxton was the first. We could teasingly hear the qualifying from my house, the day before – and on the actual day the weather was perfect (sunburningly so). So all elements came together to make it an absolutely amazing day. I also appreciate now, how hard it is to capture sports photography. I’ve come home to around 1000 of my shots JUST missing the car I was aiming at….!
