Another college assignment in which we had about 7 months to produce was to create a body of work for an exhibition we're holding at Leicester's photographic gallery in February. I'm ashamed to say I didn't carry out my original proposal  and changed my mind 2 weeks before the deadline, which was a bad idea but really i'm glad I did. Anyway the project I decided to carry out was MORE nightscapes on my village, a similar project to my other however, this was a lot more personal. The village I live in is very special to me not only because I grew up here but because of how unique the place is and some of the beautiful features it includes. So this time round I wanted to embrace this through the night.

Below are images that have surrounded me throughout my life. These are not just photographs, this is home.

2013 Star Trails project

Okay so i've experimented with nightscapes, my new project for this year will be to create nightscapes including star trails. Last time I tried this it didn't turn out too well, however this time im going to be prepared as ill have the right equipment. Unlike other projects this one will no be rushed, even if i take a picture every month.
The pictures below are a few inspirations. (Please note these are not mine)
I can't wait!

Nightscapes

Since last year I had decided to make a personal project on a sequence of Nightscapes. I had never experiment with long exposures until we were given a brief at college, after this I continued to produce more for my own work. I loved the outcome's and soon got addicted! As you can see some of my images are stronger than others, this shows my development throughout the year. I will continue to produce more Nightscapes this year, however moving away from the country side and experimenting with urban/derelict buildings.
