Recent Photography

As I have probably mentioned in previous posts about photography, I have been aiming to take my camera(s) out with me most places I go. This is to get me into the good habit of taking photos/ practising photography.

I use four cameras on a regular basis. The one I have with me basically all of the time is the one on my phone. Though fairly basic, the quality isn't too bad for a phone camera and can take some okay-ish looking photos with it. With the help of Instagram, they can look even better!

The next one is my Canon 550d, DSLR camera. I often use a 50mm lens with this. As I keep it mainly for filming, I don't used it a lot for still photographs, but it is something I keep getting myself to use for photography these days.

I also use an analogue SLR camera, an Olympus Trip 35. This goes with me most places these days- I'm in a really good habit of taking film photos now. Being as this one is still fairly new to me and doesn't have a light meter, sometimes I find it difficult getting the right settings. I'm occasionally still over exposing my photos, which is really annoying! I think getting the lighting right with this camera will come with practise and use over time.

The other camera I use a lot is my Instax Mini. This one is slightly novelty, though a lot of fun and can actually take some quite good photographs with it. I like using this for less serious things, like using at events or on holiday or on nights out (which are rare these days)! I like using it especially for portraits, mainly of my boyfriend, as it turns out. Here he is playing golf:
