  • San Sebastian Polaroids

  • Bilbao Polaroids

    For some reason I have neglected posting recent polaroid photos from my travels. Probably because I’m a bit lazy and it takes a little bit of effort. So here are the three I took from when I visited Bilbao last month. The film I used was The Impossible Project’s Lucky 8 (meaning 7 have a red frame and…

  • Feliz Navidad!

    Taking a little break from my Barcelona series! Although it is Christmas Eve and I am currently in England at my dad’s house soaking up all British Christmassy things, it has been a true joy to experience the build up to Christmas Spanish style. Especially as working in schools, I can compare how Christmas is…

  • Quintessentially English Novels

    I love the word quintessentially. It sounds like such an English word itself, so when used to describe something very much English I feel like dressing in tweed and plaid, and having a cup of afternoon tea. (Have actually just polished off a cup of Earl Grey. Oh and I’ve discovered Tetley tea in my…

  • Autumnal Burgos

    Following up from landmarks of Burgos, what captured me on the day I was taking photos was the autumnal vibe the city was giving. With so many trees shedding their leaves it was hard not to feel autumny, and a very different experience to the U.K’s perception of autumn with pumpkin spiced lattes (which I…

  • Outside the Cathedral

    In the plaza are a few restaurants which offer a fantastic view of Burgos’s most iconic landmark. The cathedral towers above everything in the city, and can be spotted from many viewpoints in the centre. Inside is spectacular too!

  • Photography Tips 101

    Not that I can consider myself much of an expert. Just the other day I was out with my camera and a couple with a fellow Nikon asked me to take their photo. Obviously assuming I would take a decent photo. Nope, it was too shadowy and I wanted to explain that I am still a novice.…

  • Sunset

    This was taken on my first day using RAW format on my camera, and I experimented with Photoshop for the first time ever too. I’ve just started a free trial of Photoshop – I figured it could really help with advancing my photography and making things look glossy and almost professional. But at the same time can…

  • Simply ABC

    (Kudos if you know the scene…) This sounds like fun, but a challenge! I was nominated by Vivid Narrator to tell a story using a word for each letter of the alphabet. I like to think it started off well, but by the letter J I started to have no idea what my story was…

  • Burgos on Expired Polaroid Film

    I wanted to take my DSLR out on a tour of the city, but today has been quite cloudy so I thought it would be best to leave my digital camera for blue skies, and take out my beloved Polaroid camera which is better suited for overcast conditions. As per usual the film I was…
