Back garden photography

Whilst I want to be a journalist, I'm also aiming to become a successful fashion photographer. And although the photographs featured in this blog post aren't related to fashion, I need all the practice I can get with my Sony Alpha.

Today, for example, has been a sunny summer Sunday at home, so to pass the time, I took a few snaps of the back garden blooms. Please tell me what you think, and if anyone would also like a photo shoot for free, please give me a buzz!

Hampton Court Palace Gardens

How I may look in thirty years time? This photo of my dad wasn't going to be

 uploaded to the blog (it was actually to demonstrate to him how to take a photo of

someone), but after looking back on the photo, I found I liked the complementary

co-ordination of the different browns. My sister said this particular shot makes

him look a bit like a gardener - I think she's forgotten that he is a gardener.

Today, I'm wearing...

Today, I had an enjoyable day out with my father at Hampton Court, where we took a walk around Bushy Park, a brief wander through the gardens at Hampton Court Palace, and a boat trip along the Thames to Kingston and back.

Although my dad opted for shorts and trainers, I decided to wear something a little smarter. The photo below was taken just inside the Lion Gate of Hampton Court Palace Gardens, near the famous maze.
