I recently moved to the countryside and I try to make the most of the amazing landscape around me. I go for walks round my area regularly and take some photos of whatever attracts my eye.

This silhouette shot makes me think about Halloween. I particularly like how the shapes of the branches are so intricate.

 I took a shot of this bark because I really liked the quality of the colours and how they really represent autumn and winter.

This is a more linear silhouette shot. I think the big tree in the middle breaks the photo up a bit and makes it more interesting.

I took a photo of this bark because the shape was so odd and mangled.

I edited a photo of some more silhouette shots I took, I wanted to see what kind of atmosphere changed when the colours were inversed. I used Fotoflexer and found that blue made the photo less eerie but created a colder atmosphere whereas the red changed the mood to make it hotter and more mysterious.

This is my favourite photo of them all, I will be creating a project on this photo.

The Killers at Hyde Park

In June 2011, The Killers (my favourite band) came to Hyde Park! It was a massive evening and I got a real feel for outdoor concerts, there were some .. interesting sights and smells but most of all the music was amazing. I can't wait to go again!

In the first few seconds of The Killers' appearance, I took this photo of the beautiful lead singer: Brandon Flowers.

I really liked the way this image completely captures the atmosphere of the evening. Everyone was happy and having an amazing time, the light adds a kind of glow to the photo, which makes it even more of a magic night! This is Mark playing the guitar, I love his hair!

Shortly after the previous photo was taken, the stage became full of glitter! The confetti came everywhere and really made the whole evening light up. I loved it!

This close up of the stage is quite different, the lighting makes the shadows more visible and more stunning.

Another close up of the stage with different graphic backgrounds.

This was taken as the band began to play one of my old favourite songs: Bones.

I like how this is a semi-action shot of Monkey Man playing the drums, as well as the stage where Brandon and Mark and David were playing amazingly.

This photo is similar to the previous one, but the lighting is more interesting and the side screen has a better angle of the guitar that Brandon Flowers' main man has.

The lasers came on! This has quite a 90s escstasy feel to it (so I've been told).

 

These two photos are part of the confetti finale as 'When you were young' and 'Spaceman' were being played.

The last fireworks, closing off one of the best events of my life so far!

Happy blogging!
