I havn't got a digital SLR but am considering buying one at the moment but for now I do have a film SLR which I am in the process of using just need to use up the rest of the film and then if there are any good photos I will put them on here. I also take photos on my phone when I'm out and about so i will put a few of those on here even though there not amazing quality I think some of them are good photos even if some of them are of my dogs (:

On Tuesday I went to the DMU show to have a look at the photographers and videographers work on show that are students at DMU. There was a lot of work to see including a few videos and the students had also made business cards with their work on and sample images on postcards which I will put in my sketchbook. Here are some of the artists I enjoyed, I will write more about them later:
Joanna Smith - My mum told me to look out for her work as she knows her and it was actually quite good so I will find some samples to put up later.
Elizabeth Davie
Lucy Ebinger
Ting Ting Zhu - She had some nice black and white porait images on show that I liked

I'll write more later with pictures

The other day I watched 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' and I really liked it so thought I'd write a bit about it. I sort of knew it would be styled a bit like a comic but I didn't realise it was based on a novel. It clearly has the criteria to fitt a post modern genre with its various inspirations such as comic phrases appearing on screen to fit the action such as 'POW'. I also noticed it uses references of video games during fight scenes with bonuses showing onscreen being an example.

I'll write more about it later after I research it a bit

The other day I went to the Ferrars Centre to look aroundd. It has random studios for arts and crafts stuff and in one of the studios I saw this artists work: William Vanscoy. The image I saw was this:

And this one:

So I looked on his website (vanscoyphotography.com) so I could find out more about him and his other work and how he creates it. He uses large format cameras and scans the negatives and produces digital files or most recently his images are digital capture and digital post-production. He sometimes combines more than one image also which is a technique I have been interested in before after looking at Corrine Vionnet's work for creative apps. The reason I like the first photo is because I like how the water looks and I would be interested in  taking photos like this and his work has inspired me to do more nature and landscape photography. So I will have a go at this genre of photography and post my own photos on here if there decent.
