May Day Weekend

 
It feels like forever ago that my family & I visited Hastings to see my nan and spend the weekend together for the May Day 'Jack in the Green' celebrations and bike run. I'm not quite sure where this month has disappeared to, its been hectically busy with work, visiting family & dressing up as an OAP at a hen doo in Cambridge, that i haven't had a chance to sit still and update this blog, my camera hasn't sat still either, i haven't stopped using it this month in the hope to complete my unit assignment & move on to the next chapter.

My IOP course said my assignment was to practice taking photos of:
  • Moving objects
  • Close up Macro photos
  • Portrait photos
On the Sunday we spent the day walking around the old town together, had a nice drink whilst soaking up the Morris dancing atmosphere, had a peek in the shops, Steve had a go on a potters wheel, we adventured up to the top of Hastings cliff and back down again to the fisherman's end, then had lunch in a lovely seafront cafe together, it was a great day & i got to play around with all the camera settings, here are some of the photos;
 
 
 
 
 
 
The next day we made our way back to the seafront for the best way possible to tick 'moving objects' off my list at the May Day motorbike run from London to Hastings.  The town was absolutely packed as far as the eye could see with motorbikes, leather and tattoos, the atmosphere was great & so too were the photo opportunities & we found ourselves a great spot for watching all the motorbikes, trikes & quads enter the seafront....

 
 
 
 
 
When we returned back to Nans i tried my hand at some close up macro photos in her pretty garden but i think i need some more practice on them but not bad for my first go!
 
 
 
 
We were so lucky with the weather & it was really nice to have Michael spend a weekend with us too, which brings me to say well done to my Mum & Brother who each took the following photos which came out really well.
 
 
 
Thank you for a great weekend xx
