Nature Walk Photography
Today, my camera buddies and I explored the area behind the big AA building in Basingstoke.
These are some of the pictures I took along the way.
Abandoned Office Space
A few days ago, a few of my colleagues and I went down stairs to the basement level of our office building. There’s a huge area down there completely unused, which is a shame because it’s a really awesome space. They should rent it by the hour or something, I’d love to play some post-apocalyptic RPG or something down there.
Some More Shots With My New Camera
I’ve been playing with some more of the lenses my brother lent me, these are some of the shots I’ve taken this weekend. Let me know what you think!
I Bought My First DSLR!
I’ve never been in to photography, in all my time on this earth (that’s not very much) it never really interested me… and I dated a photography student for three years!
Recently, my colleague showed me a website about Urban Exploring, Silent UK, a blog run by photographers who go to urban areas that other people pass by without a second glance. Abandoned buildings, storm drains and train stations are some of the subjects of the stunning photographs shown off there. I guess it appealed to my interest in cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic style because I immediately wanted to take my own photographs. Now, let’s be clear, I don’t plan on sneaking into the London underground or any other secured areas, but there’s plenty of empty industrial-looking buildings near my office and around the rest of town.
But for now, I must practice my new craft and understand the workings of a camera, so I turn to my kitty, asleep in her box (she has a box) and snapped a whole bunch of different shots, using 3 different lenses. Below are the two I like the most. I think I’m going to like the bloom effect you get from slightly overexposing a shot… we’ll see.
