Photography Tricks and Tips!

there are many ways you can make cool photos!

 Idea;
Apperture!
this is where you create photos with light, you can grap any kind of tourch or oobject that lets out light even a phone. then on your camera change it to the firework setting and the required light exposure will be there! this is all about the amount of light that hits the lense so the longer its open the more light can hit the lens.

Tip:

Make sure the sun is behind the Camera!


Not in front of the Camera!

as this then blocks out your face when taking the photo and it can become very blurred and not focus as well and make the photo very dark.

Trick 2:
Overlapping
This can be done in many ways like on Photoshop etc. but if your just a beginner to this there is a website i like to use called ipiccy.com it is a simple and easy website to use. 
when overlapping 2 photos it adds great effect as you can get to sides to a story...

Most Things Have Meanings...

Meanings...
Most things have them,
But we just don't know what they are yet?


Life has a meaning but it isn't until we find that meaning that we start to live life to the full...
I am only 14 but many people tell me this...


I take photos alot. And they all have meanings but it isnt untill you pick out the detail you realise what that meaning is.
Like for me this photo symbolizes where i live, that yes it does have its rough patches 
but if you carry on walking there is always something good to make you smile at the end.

This is the view outside of my friends window and this just shows us the silhouette of the trees and houses at night as the sun sets and the natural beauty.

Winter is one of the Prettiest seasons its like every things a blank canvas ready for us to restart like its a new and everything has been forgotten and this photo shows to me a new start as it is being covered in snow.

Introducing Me!

Hi, so im pretty new to this so im not sure where to start... Okay, Right so my names Lauren and im a 14 year old girl from Coalville in England. My life evolves around sport and performing i am part of an amateur dramatics group called TPADS in Thringstone and we recently did a Pantomime of Alice in Wonderland where I played the Mad Hatter. Ater joining TPADS you join a Family of crazy wacky people who make you feel welcome and it almost feels like a second home to me. When im not singing and dancing on stage or at home im either playing football for my local team called Coalville Town Ravenettes and i have played for Coalville for the good part of 8 years now, I have also recently re-joined my local badminton team at the Hermitage leisure Center, i started playing badminton when i was just 4 but had to quit after a year of it to complete a swimming badge, i wish i had carried on with badminton as now i love it to pieces and go every wednesday and when possible try and take part in tournaments but Football normally is the priority in my life.
Me as the Md Hatter and Demi as the March Hare in Alice in Wonderland.

I live with my Mum (sue) my Dad (Matt) and my older sister (Alex) who hopefully will be moving out to go to University in Lincoln to study Psychology. I am a big Dog lover any kind they are just brilliant, sadly i don't have a dog as we have 2 cats Bella and Biscuit, i also have two Guinnea Pigs called Alfie and Noah, we do have a fish tank but were not very good at keeping fish but we do have 1 in there at the moment. 

I am currently in year 10 at a school called King Edward VII i study: Geography, Spanish, Media Studies, Performing Arts and B-Tec Sport and all the obvious core subjects. School couldn't be better for me at the moment as for the first 2 Years of High School at a Brilliant Place Called Castle Rock i was constantly bullied by numerous people i was constantly on a dark place in my life but when moving up to year 9 I decided to something better with my life so me and my 'friend' wrote a script called 'A Not So Sweet Revenge' which we rehearsed throughout the whole year and then put on a successful show with many Brilliant  People involved. I couldn't of had a Better year without the help of many people and yes there was down sides to that year but i over came them and finished the year with a bang and one the best nights ever of Prom where me and one of my Best friends Elle Briers when we turned up in a big Truck my dad had hired from his work and to be honest it couldn't of been any better!
