Scattered Strawberry Summer

  This pic is actually a few weeks old when I dared to go out into the cold for a walk. 

I was watching a basketball match yesterday  (my boyfriend is coaching a team of under 14s who play in Sussex league) and I noticed something on the roof...

I want a new camera bag to replace my old, boring, ugly bag.  I want something that doesn't actually look like a camera bag. There are plenty of options on etsy but wow they're a bit expensive

I'm not buying any of these yet though, I might just get a bag insert like below & convert an ordinary bag that I already have into a camera bag.

I've found a new show to love: My Mad Fat Diary. It's hilarious, realistic,relatable and hilarious. But it's a lot more complex than what it seems at first (that trailer totally fooled me!),it explores some very serious issues.

 It's based on My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary, set in the 90s (the original was set in 80s.) and it has a great soundtrack

and how I do love that characters are not glamourised and just look like normal people (as opposed to 90120 or similar shows)

 I spent most of my Saturday with my old friend from Uni, in the evening we ended up at the seafront & luckily I carry my camera every where as the the view was amazing. All the lights and reflections on wet surfaces, just spectacular. For the first time I had an opportunity to use my new lens in very low light conditions. It was so dark, I couldn't see any buttons on my camera,  autofocus was always best option but I couldn't focus well manually either as my camera zooms in when you do that but it because it's a such a dark picture, I couldn't see what I'm focusing on! Anyway, it still was a good fun and I'm pleased with results. Now I can't wait to go out again to shoot at night, this time I'm bringing my tripod and one of my usual "models" and explore this new dark world that was previously "unreachable" with my kit lens

It would make a great setting for a photoshoot. If you don't mind all the business men coming here to have their lunch and other random people.
