Sometimes you have to explore and discover different ways of approaching life until you find a way that is suitable for you. For the second month of my 365 day photo challenge I discussed how I was going to randomise the settings on my Hipstatmatic camera to add a bit of spontaneity and exploration into my use of this app, rather than sticking to the safe John S Lens with Ina's 1969 film. It can be hard a times, deciding what to capture but also trying to apply skills that I have learned at University so far. I feel as though I'm still cheating and working on the amateur level. In all honesty, I still am an amateur. Once I know all the technical elements by heart and begin profiting work then I will know where I will stand. I think Photography is like discovery; a discovery of people and objects, places and I find that extremely interesting.
Though I used the random settings on my app for the picture above; this wasn't out of luck for a first attempt. With Photography, you generally see the final versions of images, rather than how the photographer got there in the first place. I thought I may as well show you the attempts I took to get a decent and flattering image. It just shows that sometimes different effects work for different settings. Many of these effects I have used before but what I was communicating at the beginning was that different elements and combinations fit different people and I think thats what makes the world an interesting place. We all live life in our and best combination, when we can find it, it doesn't mean to say that we can't experiment with life and do what we please.

These pictures are gorgeous! I especially love the last one - it looks so mysterious and historical, like something you'd find in an old house where you can just feel the years and the lives of the people who lived there. How you managed to capture that I don't know... must be your skillz. :p
