My Best Picture Yet?? So when I did a portrait photoshoot outside and around the King Power Stadium, me and my subject ran into this little beauty of a creature. As soon as I saw the Owl, I had to take a photo of it. Luckily for me, the Owl looked into the camera as soon as my flash popped up from the camera and so I managed to capture this stunning shot and in my opinion, it is my best and favourite picture till date. I have never come across an Owl in my life and to manage to capture this stunning creature made me realise photographing animals and nature is something I want to do in the future. If I come across anymore wonderful animals, I will be quick to capture and share the work with you guys!. I manipulated this image very slightly on Photoshop just to darken the background to remove any distractions from the animal. I love how the Owl has made eye contact with the camera aka you guys too, it is like it is staring right at you! In conclusion this is my best ever image taken!!

For University, I have to do a portrait project and I decided to base it around football fans/footballers. So today I went to Abbey Park, where with a fellow student at De Montfort University, They played football and I took photographs. Now this photograph isn't for the actual project and I actually didn't mean to capture this photo but going back through the images I found this shot. I love it. I think the shadows, the lighting just work well and the camera angle is amazing. The weather helped a lot and this photograph was taken with only available light as that is what the project is about. Now it is obviously a park but it also looks like a football pitch because of the grass and the football. I also love the track lines on the grass, it makes the image better and more interesting too.
