Hitched A Photo A Week: Week One

Brilliant idea! I have added a load of stuff to my birthday wish list!!

This is one I took yesterday... not hugely exciting!

I rather like this one I took last week, looking towards the Isle of Wight from Selsey beach.

I'm asking out of curiosity and I hope this doesn't come across as really rude, please bear in mind I know naff all about photography... RB, do you edit your photos afterwards to get the colours to pop out like that, or is it to do with lighting/the camera/good old-fashioned skill?

That's a really good question actually and not rude at all. I do edit them afterwards as the colours can look a little flat otherwise. I bumped the saturation up ever so slightly and I also increased the contrast to make the photos 'pop'. I do sit and play with all the various editing options for quite a while adding layers etc, but those are the main/basic things that I do to most of my photos.

Nice to see some entries already. Keep them coming!

You are very talented at making those Mrs C!

Thank you? photos like that are very much my style! They look so fresh and sunny.

You are very good, I like your style!

A curveball but here's one of my photos from last week:

This is one of my favourite photos I have taken, in Kefalonia in 2006. This is Myrtos beach where Captain Corelli's Mandolin was filmed

Technically I didnt take this but I love it; Me and Little Miss Tricks at a friend's wedding in 2009.

Thanking you FMJ and Mrs C.

FTLOMB, is that oil in water or something? I saw a similar concept on a photography blog recently and I think that was of some oil in a glass container taken with a macro lens. Very nice photo. Love all the colours.

MrsC do you make these too? I loved the penguins but I am loving these more ? Do you take requests?

How squeamish are you?

I am scared to answer that!

Go on then, tell me.

It's a cross-section through an eye (lens = green ball on right, retina = cupped layers to left). I have added some coloured chemicals to chow up the different structures. I know it's a bit geeky but these kinds of pictures are truly some of the most beautiful I can conceive of.

I am guessing that as Dr FTLOMB that this is a close up of something icky!!

They have proved quite popular... I may do ?

Ok, that wasn't as bad as I was expecting! Does make for a very interesting photo. Think I may stick to the water and oil idea however!

Some people are really wierd about eyes

Anyway, yours are lovely! I love that bright, every-so-slightly bleached effect on the first one. You can almost feel the sun shining

One of my lovely couples (sorry I don't take photos of much else ?)

I'm usually quite squeamish but I think I feared worse!

Ta. It really was shining as well. Was such a gorgeous day.

Spring, that's lovely and what a beautiful moment to have captured.

I have lots of pictures of the rear end of the Butler in the Buff from this weekend's hen do - I'm guessing that I am not allowed to post it on here?!

Ohh I like this. Will get me using my camera again.

I took this last year when it was snowing. Not sure why I like this pic so much but I find it relaxing (yeah im a bit odd)

This one is near my house

Fantastic photos everyone! Especially loving Red Barry's, KBS' and Mrs C's work! Here are a few from our honeymoon in Thailand last year:

Hehe. Any photos are welcome. The idea is to take at least one photo per week and to post it on here. Technically yours count!

LMR, those statues are very unusual!

Spangler, I love the photo of the elephant.

Oh i do love threads like these!!

Heres a picture of mine & my bridesmaids shoes that i took over the weekend xx

Fab pics ladies!

Heres one I took of my sisters venue a few weeks ago

I took my camera around to my friend's house a few weeks ago and practised on her son and cat! Here's two of the results:

I won't have chance to take any this week, well until fri when myself and OH are in London so here are some older pics.

and one of two of my friends in Tenerife

What a brilliant thread! Nothing to contribute myself yet, as I'm not much of a photographer (I'd like to be just don't seem to have the 'eye' for it as they always come out rubbish hehe) but just wanted to share my appreciation of everyone's lovely pictures ?
