Day 8 - Friday Night Laundry

  You can tell it can't have been a very interesting day if the caption implies we've stayed in on a Friday night to do laundry :P It's gonna be one of those quiet weekends I suspect! One of those nights where a film is put on and the world is ignored :P
So day 8, bane of our lives, the student laundry room, stealing at least a tenner a month :')

Day 7- Reflections in the windows
Love this double exposure effect created by the plates reflected in the windows! Especially with the film grain as it creates a very antique quality to it~<3
A very dull day again today! Not very much has happened, except lots of Skyrim of course! O:)

Befriending cats in Skyrim

Day 6- "Other mages may claim to be as good as magic as J'zargo, but they cannot be as charming as he. Thus, J'zargo always comes out on top."
Flat inspection today! The management of this place is so disorganized! We were told to be in our flats 1pm-5pm and not to have any dirty dishes at all, typically they came at 5! Still we've passed so it's all good :D rewarded ourselves with Skyrim<3 I now have a khajit companion or a 'pet cat' as I like to call him much to my boyfriend's 'amusement' 0:) he loves cats secretly, it's just taking some persuading him :P I think you can say I'm well and truly addicted to Skyrim :P love it so much! The graphics and game play are incredible! It was inevitable I would post a Skyrim screenshot at some point so here it is; Day 6~ Archmage and my future husband all in a days work ;)


























I also continued playing around with the manual settings of my camera tonight while everyone was cooking 'communal dinner'~ I was really excited to find I could adjust the exposure on one of the art settings! This film grain setting is one of my favourite to use as it highlights and emphasizes the textures beautifully, as well as creating a gorgeous 'old school' effect. Therefore it was really interesting to find out that I could slow the shutter speed down to capture a longer exposure. It was really fun to experiment with different combinations; I really like how well it's captured the 'traces' of movement. almost creating a 'ghostly' effect.

Day 5- "Think left and right and think low and high. Oh the thinks you can think of if only you try!" -Seuss 

Busy bees this week! :P Preston has been abnormally sunny this weekend so everyone's really cheerful about life :D I found a random bee in Skyrim last night~ and started building my first house! :D Our flat is completely addicted now that we've convinced Tal to start playing :P

We also finally made it to the Pub Quiz~ 10 minutes late but we still made it :D Next time we'll make it on time and hopefully the questions will be easier too :P It was a lot of fun though~!

I also finally managed to snap a photo of this blossom :) It needs work but usually I just walk past it wanting to take a photo but putting it off every time :') Hello Spring! : )

Photo of the day is my course studios, the view's so pretty, it's just a shame we aren't able to access them 24/7! I'd imagine I'd use them a lot more if the facilities were available~ On the plus side, tutor's happy with my project idea so it's full steam ahead (y) Just need to do last minute cleaning for tomorrow's flat inspection!

Camera Obscura!

Day 4- The sky painted such a pretty sunset today!


When I first got up today I thought it was going to be another day where I would struggle to find a photo to upload as I had no plans other than to work~ Turns out I ended up taking over 50 photos! :P 

Started off the day with an really interesting circle of light highlighting my clothes rack and ended it with my boyfriend and I's first attempt at turning our uni room into a camera obscura! It produced really interesting effects~ It took a while for it to resemble a coloured image but it looked really cool when it did! I like how strong the light is in contrast to the darkness, It's produced a really stark effect which was interesting.
