First Uni shoot

Hello there! Welcome to my blog :)

To debut my blog are the thumbnails from my first shoot in Uni. These are just a preview of all of the pictures taken, then soon I'll post a selection of these in full size for a better view.

The weather couldn't have been any better (lucky!), which put us all in a great mood :)
It also became evident how different it is to go somewhere with and without a camera: certainly in my case, as I'm sure it's with most people, I suddenly seemed to notice so much more of the world once I had a camera in front of me. My eyes were seeking interesting shapes, colours, compositions... it's like a whole new place popped in front of me!

The first thing that captured my attention with its potential was this staircase. Ooh, so cool!
I quite like the one that together with its shadow form an "8".

Also the images of the same corner of building with different focuses...




The glass reflection on this car window kind of spoiled what I had in mind (you can hardly see the toys in the vehicle). Maybe a polarizing filter would have solved it.

One of the fence shots had bad lens flares, so I added my lens hood, which resolved it on the second shot (yay!) :)

I also tried to shoot flowers past these holes in the metal fence, which was quite difficult.
It was also great to explore the surroundings of our campus, which had many surprises, such as the beautiful "flowery" houses (that you can see in between the gaps in the fence below - #stalkerfeelings), that I never expected to find in this area! So utopic, so weirdly exciting!


Will post again soon, with bigger pictures, I promise! ;)
