Eleanor's Photos

Since I got my new camera, Eleanor has commandeered my bridge camera and has been busy snapping away. I'm quite impressed by some of the photos she's come up with, she's definitely got more of an eye for photography than I have, and she isn't afraid to mess about with the settings either. I thought I'd show you a few of the many photos she's taken.

This first lot are taken in the local woods when she took Archie for a walk with Mick. She had Mick climb a tree and dangle his legs to get Archie in to the pose she wanted. I thought it very clever, but it's a good job it was Mick with her and not me, you wouldn't catch me climbing a tree.






The next ones are taken at Lotheron Hall when we went over the bank holiday weekend. I really like the one of the tree with Mick and Archie in the background.







She's taken lots of photos of Archie. I don't suppose she can resist that cute smushy mushy face.


Do you have a favourite?

  2. Eleanor has a good eye! My absolute favourite is the dandelion head and the last one of cutsey Archie, of course!

    1. I think Eleanor's done really well, she has it in her mind's eye how she wants to capture something, and I think she manages it.

  3. Wow! I love her style. I love the tree one as well, just nicely artistic without being pretentious. She must be pleased with her work?

    1. She's really pleased. Of course, it helps being digital. None of this seeing what we'd just taken when we were kids, we had to wait for the film to be developed.

  4. It looks like Eleanor has been bitten by the photography bug! Perspective, the hardest thing to 'learn' in photography, has been used to good effect in the dandelion clock photo - well done to her.

    1. She's enjoyed photography for a while now, but she's only had a cheap little camera. She did wonders with it though. She's after a new camera for Christmas now.

  6. Eleanor certainly has got a good eye for composition. Love the first one and the dandelion head and the daisy, hard to choose just one favourite!

    1. It is hard to choose just one favourite, that's why I ended up putting so many in the post. I think she's done really well with them.

  7. Well done to Eleanor on taking such good photos. As for a favourite I think that it has to be the yellow flower. Flighty xx

  9. These are great, she does have an eye for an unusual composition. I think some of those close-ups of the plants are really lovely. x

    1. She's not sure about a career path at the moment, though she's heavily in to music and drama. I think there's something special about the seedhead.

  12. The photos are brilliant, Jo. Well done, Eleanor! You know I love Archie's face but, if I have to choose another, it'd be the daisy. I love daisies! :o)

  15. Are you sure she has only just started taking pictures? Excellent photos and I'm very impressed with how she has got Archie to pose - now if only that would work with Daisy (sigh).

    1. She's done really well, I think the bug has taken hold now. She's got more patience than I have getting Archie in to the poses she wants.

    1. I think she's done really well with them, especially as she doesn't actually know the first thing about photography. She's learning though.
