So, Photographs.

What determines if a photograph is good or not? Not everyone is going to like what you take. but there's someone in my life who will always like me for me, no matter how i look or feel, they will always be by my side.

' I don't care about how much make up you wear or how long it takes for you to do your hair. I love you the most in the morning, when you look as natural as possible and i love the shape of your face, because it never changes.'

This is for you.

Some pictures I edited. One was the landscape of Chistchurch I though I would see what it looked like in black and white. I think i prefer it to the colour one. The other is a surfing photo of my friend Joel.

You either Love me...or you don't. Its pretty simple. If you do, then don't tell me that you don't...then tell me you do. Its something taht can mess people up pretty bad.

Blog.#2. -The Weather-

Last night (March 8th) was a strange day. The weather was glorious in the afternoon, then suddenly I look out of my kitchen window and there is a Big, Black cloud rolling in over the Port Hills. "Harriet come look at this" my mum said, pointing out towards the beach. There was SUCH a pretty cloud. It was so white and it looked like popcorn. I was contemplating with myself wondering if i would risk going up to the beach to take a few photos (a few= 87!!). I didn't want to get up there and then find it pouring down with rain i would then be totally buggered. haha. well here are a few photos, i'm glad i took the chance there were some pretty breathtaking sights. Sorry if they are wonky or add looking. I was trying to be as fast as possiable as that black cloud kept on getting nearer and I could hear the thunder in the distance.



Taken when I first got to the beach.










After a few shots. The black cloud is getting nearer!








"Ok I think I should head home now!"








My Exciting experiaence at the beach!

Hey so this is my first blog. I never really know what to type in the first entry. So I will just share a few images i recently took.

RIGHT: A view over Christchurch up at the Port Hills.





So there are a few recent ones. I'll probably post some more...when i edit some.

One thing I would like to share with you is something I always question myself about. And that is..'How does someone become a good photographer?' There is so much to know about the subject and its just so hard to take in. Sometimes I find myself argueing in the back of my mind with another little voice saying 'Pay attention or you won't take good photographs.' To be honest, alot of the times my eyes just galze over, when i should be listening, and I end up having all these thoughts, 'What if all the good photos I have taken have been flukes? What if it's just the editing of an image that makes it look good? What if i wake up one day and try to take photos and they come out like absolute dogs arse, and I never take another good photo again?' I personally find it really hard to "plan" to take a photo of something. I am one of those people that likes just just get out of bed, have a shower, casually bus somewhere with my ipod and just take photos when I see something that looks good in my eyes. What about when my eyes stop working an I end up walking past every great opportunity, then I get home and load my memory card onto the computer, only to find that I didn't actually take any photos at all? Well.......to me it sounds like the worst nightmare possiable. I ended up talking a bit too much and i am not entirely sure that any of it makes sense. Essay writing was never my srtong point haha.
See Ya!
