Took Some Pictures...

Having recently got a rather bargainous second hand Canon 15-85 lens, I thought I'd have a go at actually leaving my house with the camera. The only thing I know how to take pictures of is jewellery, which just sits there quietly being small and annoyingly reflective. So, I joined a camera club. Actually I joined a while ago, this is just the first time I've been brave enough to actually go on a shoot. You have to talk to strangers, it's scary! Anyway, they were doing a themed shoot called Rock n'Roll Bride and said that I could bring along some of my jewellery to shoot on the models, so I thought I'd give it a go.

It feels a bit strange waving a camera at people, but they're models, they're used to it! There was a mixed range of abilities there, a fair few of my fellow clueless but also people with those fancy white lenses and flash gun/mini umbrella combos.

Given my lack of knowledge, I don't think my pictures turned out too bad actually!

Here are a few of my favourites:

It was actually pretty fun – not sure I really learned anything technical, but it was good to just have experience of taking a ton of pictures of stuff. I might try a studio lighting workshop next time, so I know how to take pictures of my jewellery on models at some point in the future.
