October Babies

October is a wonderful month to take leaf crunching walks, and on a personal note it is the month I celebrate my birthday. I have been in warm climates for most of the year until now.

This month I remembered how much I love wrapping up in a big jumper with a hat and scarf.

The photograph on the left was taken by me hand holding the camera and capturing my friend and I.

It took a few attempts to get us framed and lit correctly. This maybe a holiday snap shot, but I still took into consideration the ever changing light. We had to wait for the sun to appear from behind the clouds so it could light up Parliament which is behind us. I used Photo shop to make this image a mixture of black and white and colour. By doing this it creates an effect of layers which is helped along by the composition. It reminds me of one of those cardboard theatres I had when I was younger.

For my birthday treat I was given a surprise gift of a trip to Budapest. I was very overwhelmed by the thought and effort that had been shown to me.
