A couple weeks ago, I took a trip to Penarth with a couple friends from my class to explore Penarth and it's most noted attractions. On the day itself we were very lucky with the weather and had a full day of warmth and sunshine. Whilst looking around Penarth I began to feel far more confident about my idea and the fact that I had to change my idea didn't daunt on me as much.
The first stop we made was to the town centre to look at all the different business's and see the people of Penarth. I particularly like this photograph, I like the low viewpoint looking up slightly at the round about, along with the curve of the roundabout going across the image.
The next stop we made was exploring Alexandra park where I was able to take this image of the beautiful blue bells growing. Whilst looking around the park I found that the majority of my images were close ups of the nature surrounding me. I like the colour tone of this image, and the fact that it's not really overly powering, instead a more subtle beauty.
This is another image I took in Alexandra park, for this image I was lucky enough see the squirrel quickly and I was able to follow it on its quest to explore the park. I took several different photos of the squirrel but when he finally stopped running about I was able to get this shot. I would of liked to have gotten closer however my lens was limited to 135mm.
The final stop we made was to Penarth pier where we rewarded ourselves with a long break of watching the beautiful sea view. As I did have an idea that I was going to photograph the pier for my main project, I mainly spent my time looking around the pier and imagining how I want my photos to turn out. When we visited the pier it was very busy because of the sunny day so the photos I took were quite packed with people (something I don't want for my finals), however as it was a test shoot this didn't bother me.
