Photography Post May

As well as working hard being a mummy to Lily, one of the other things I do is photography. I shoot lots of different things, fashion, weddings, photo journalism, though at the moment not getting much time to shoot. 

To keep my head in photography I have decided to do a blog post a month all about my photography, you can see April's post here.

This month I decided to head out with a lens I haven't used for ages. The lens is a different kind of lens called a Lens Baby. You can move it around and it does some really cool effects. One thing I have never shot with the lens before is a toddler. I have used this lens for fashion and still life and thats still not easy to do, but wow, toddlers are almost impossible to get a focused photograph of. They move around too much as you know. 




But I wanted to give it a try so Lily and I headed out to the local park to see what we could find to take photographs of. I really love still life photographs when you find strange looking plants or random little things that are out of place. Like a leaf growing inside a tree trunk, or a feather that has fallen on a plant. I think I would have found a lot more hidden gems if I didn't have Lily with me as she isn't always up for exploring too far but Im happy with the few little things I found on the way. 

So here are my photographs for May. 










Which of the Photographs is your favourite and what do you think to the effect?
