All this week I have been made busy taking pictures for other people. Today I had a day off and it was so nice to take a wander over the fields near where I live and take pictures of one of my favourite things…nature. I only took one lens as I find sometimes it is best to limit myself to just using one, it restricts me but this can be a good thing. It makes me really think about the lens and using it to the max. I love my 100mm, it’s one of my best. I make myself stop mid walk and just look, look until I see what is there right in front of me.

The weather was kind to us all and the rain held off so everyone could enjoy drinks and canapés in the beautiful garden at Layer Marney. To view the other pictures please go to my Gallery http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/nicola__jon

I have taken pictures of such weird and wonderful things recently, some personal, some private commissions and some joint ventures. From Proms and dance pics to bumps and hedgehogs! I find I don’t always have the time or permission to show all that I do as some people prefer to keep things private which is understandable. Here are some relaxed pics from The Colne Community School Prom night.

Colchester Academy held their Prom at The Weston Homes Stadium in Colchester on Friday. The young people made quite an entrance when they arrived in all sorts ranging from an armoured covered Army Tank looking thing to big old American Chevrolet’s.

Owning an Android phone I have recently found various camera apps which are just so fun to play around with. One of my favourites is FXcam. Having owned a very old Nokia for years, the change over has been quite a dramatic one for me. It’s not always practical to have a camera swinging around your neck, this app is fun and so easy to use. I really love how it gives a Lomo look, to see other Android apps check this out http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/03/15/37-best-and-3-wtf-new-android-apps-games-and-live-wallpapers-from-last-week-3911-31511/
