Nike Media Apprentice

It's been a while since I've updated this blog due to the growing use of Facebook. But seeing as I have just entered the Nike Media Apprentice competition I thought I would also add my chosen pictures here.

Better odds than the lottery

Thank you very much for entering the Oldborough Retreat Competition.

Your entries are now in the Draw.

Good luck

J'aime Paris

OK so Paris is meant to be the city of love right? Well I wouldn't got that far but we did have a nice time when Emma and I travelled down in May to catch up with my Mexican friends Agueda and Daniel on their whistle-stop European tour.

Naturally I snapped the Eiffel Tower:

But we soon got bored of that and made some comedy photos instead:

And at night time the VR on my lens gave some nice steady shots without my tripod:

But it's not only the tower there. Here's the Arc de Triomphe:

I can't decide which of the two photos below I like the most. Shame I can't combine the blurred traffic with us sharp in the 2nd photo to make the best photo.

Looks like I found another Church my mum would love - the Sacre Coeur:

There's quite a few step to tackle mind:

Where's Wally (Emma) in the photo below:

But the views at the top are worth it:

I've been trying to get all my photos out the way ready for our Whistler trip just in case we actually have time to stop on holiday and take photos - no promises though!

10 days to go

10 days and counting till lift off!



(providing I can actually get hold of Smith to tell me where he lives and if he's built my new baby yet!)

Keukenhof Sunshine Weekend

Back in April, Emma's friends popped over for their annual Sunshine weekend and they certainly got lucky with the sun. We visited the famous Keukenhof flower park which is apparently the most photographed place in the world. Judging by the number of photos I took, I can see why!

The problem is that once you've taken one photo of a tulip...

...then the rest look all the same!

But I tried some blurred variations like below:

Plus a bit of B/W photoshopping:

But I soon was over-flowered and started looking for people inspiration and there's hundreds of them there like below:

My mum would've loved it just like these below. Scorching hot weather and still in rain coats - just in case!

The girls enjoyed their time:

And I even found time to mess about with Emma:

There was some map confusion below:

But we eventually found the worlds largest (plastic) tulip:

I've picked a few of my favourite photos below but there's plenty more on my Flickr account here or in slideshow format here
