Paralympics 2012: Archery & Shooting

On Sunday I visited the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich to watch the Archery & Shooting events at the Paralympics 2012.

The atmosphere within the venue, after the customary airport-style security checks, was great. The volunteer 'Games' Makers' were excellent and really did well to keep everything moving and running smoothly. Well done them!

I took all of these pictures from the day with my iPhone camera, I'm pleasantly surprised how well for such a small device, the iPhone can perform. As usual, all the decent pictures are uploaded onto Flickr.

I'll also be attending the ExCel events this Saturday, so more pictures to come!

Olympic Torch Relay 2012

This morning, the Olympic Torch came past the end of my road. That's quite convenient, meaning that I didn't have to walk miles to witness the occasion.

I also got a few pictures on my phone that I'd like to share with you. People's heads and hands were the main feature as well as the torch.

V&A as Postman Pat

Just something to brighten your day!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. (what's left of it!)

Experimenting with Hipstamatic & new iPhone

Below is a few of the pictures I took once I bought the Hipstamatic app on my new iPhone. My iPhone is now another way for me to develop my photographic abilities.

Have a lovely weekend

Bar Italia SC Kickstart Rideout 2012 Event

I went with the family to the Old Royal Navel College, Greenwich to the Bar Italia SC Kickstart Rideout 2012 event - lots of Vespa Scooters had made their way from the London Eye to the Naval College, then they parked up so that visitors could come and have a look. This was a great excuse for me to get my camera out. Here's a selection, the rest will be on Flickr tomorrow.

I was surprised to see a Routemaster - this links in with my trip to Acton recently!

Have a great evening - there's lots on the box tonight!

London Transport Museum Depot, Acton

Yesterday I visited the London Transport Museum Depot in Acton on the Family Open Weekend. It was a really good event!


I really enjoyed my visit - seeing lots of historical trains, buses, signage and merchandise amongst other things. I also got a ride on a RM1 Routemaster! Here's a few of my snaps, they are all available in my Flickr set.

Have a great week,

Sweden 2011

I don't think I ever shared with you my Sweden snaps even though I thought I did! This was a Scouting trip that I went on to visit my local group of Scouts camping at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree. There are lots of rules and regulations about photographs in Scouts so that's way the majority of my snaps are not here, as they feature 'Scouts', however these I'm pleased with as it gives me something to look back at in the future. They are all in a set on Flickr if you want a closer look.

By far one of my best pictures to date!

Cheeky editing on this one.

Cloud Series

I took the opportunity today to photograph the amazing weather we saw in London. Temperatures definitely rose but it still felt pretty cold. The sunlight drawed me into the cloudy skies after getting inspiration from users on Flickr and Pinterest.

Wonderful Sun!

I've just been getting on with some Geography revision/homework today and then I get distracted by the wonderful sunlight streaming in down my road. I jumped up, grabbed the camera (with just 4 images left on the SD), put my flip-flops on and took four pretty good sunny snaps, if I must say myself... Tell me what you think.

Remember to click on the images themselves to see them in a larger view.

Have a lovely weekend - nearly the end of the half term. Booo hooo...

February Snow

Snow fell this week over the UK and I took this opportunity to get some snaps for my portfolio.


I think snow is a great thing, it changes the appearance of your surroundings dramatically. It makes ugly buildings look that little bit better! The best time of looking at snow is when its just fallen and nobody has walked or cleared it. It is like a white blanket covering everything you see - it's amazing. Here's a few of the best - I'm going to sort out Flickr pro this week so all will be on there once I've sorted that...

Discovery: Xtranormal

Xtranormal - an animated video creating website.

Xtranormal is one of the best websites I've found on the web. It's great! Although I haven't used it too often, it still impresses me. You have the ability to create an animated scene about whatever you want in a simple but fun way. There are dozens of different sets and characters to choose from.

In the future, I plan to create some videos for revision and share them with my friends. It's something to remember different things. When I sit down at a very small square shaped desk to do an exam, I can just think about the video I created and should hopefully, all come rushing back to me.

Cee Lo Green?

Just thought I'd share!
