August Photo a Day


Hi all :)
Can you believe it's August already? I know I say every month
I can't believe it, but this year has just flown by! 

Here goes nothing... 

1. Something beginning with N: Find something that begins with the letter N, snap it and share it.
 My NEPHEW. <3





2. Incomplete: Incomplete, unfinished… is it a meal, a craft or something else?

 Without pets a home is incomplete.




3. Skyline: Show us where you are today by sharing your skyline.

Of course, Turkey! 






4. Fresh: Take a photo of something fresh – it could be flowers, food, the weather, someone’s style… anything.

Fresh fruit on holiday = bliss <3



5. Early: Take a photo of something that represents early to you. It could be the time of morning, being early for work or an appointment or something I haven’t thought of!

When you're up for work as early as me (5.45am) you 
need all the help you can get. #moreteaplease



6. This means a lot to me!: What’s something special in your life that has a lot of meaning?

Memories and family mean a lot to me.
My Great Grandma and my Grandad - my most favourite person ever. 



7. A sign: We come across signs throughout our day, which will you pick to share?





8. Peek-a-boo: This can be a bit like a bit of a mystery photo, show us just a hint of something. Or perhaps something hiding.






9. 2 o’clock: Whatever you’re doing at 2 o’clock, take a photo, snap it and share it.




10. Beverage: Pour a glass of something nice, and share it.




11. I love doing this!: What do you love to do? Take a photo of it.




12. Macro: This is our photography technique prompt. I’ll write a post soon with examples, but it means an extreme close-up.






13. Fast: Can you show speed in a photo? Try it today.

0-80 in 1.9s! Taken at Thorpe Park last summer.




14. Trash: One man’s trash is another person’s art. Take a photo.

My trash can hair from the hair show :)



15. The best: This can be interpreted anyway you like, what do you see today that is ‘the best’?

 Another selfie, sorry.
The best feeling ever is the sense of freedom you feel

when you quit a job you really hate. 
Today, I feel free.




16. Cooking: Whether you’re the one doing the cooking, or someone else – take a photo.

 The one thing I miss about living at home is Mum cooking a roast dinner every Sunday. I'd wake up to the smell of the chicken going in the oven, the smell of freshly washed school uniforms for us to lay out for Monday morning, bliss. 
This is Mum cooking a roast last year - we accidentally celebrated Thanksgiving without meaning to!




17. Exercise: It could be physical exercise or otherwise, but take a photo of what you consider to be exercise.

 Im super lucky to have a job that keeps me fit!



18. Someone you spoke to today: Who have you chatted to today? How can you creatively share them in a photo?

 My parents - we went hiking :)



19. Lost: Have you stumbled across something today that’s lost? Or do you have an idea of how to portray lost?

I think this little dude got lost :(



20. Stairs: Stairs! Self-explanatory really.





21. Slow: We’ve explored fast, now let’s turn it down a little and explore sloooooow.

 These last few days in the flat before we move are going SO SLOWLY. 
I just wanna be in there already!



22. A room: It could be a favourite room in your home, an office space, a shop or otherwise.

My parents lovely kitchen. 



23. Yellow: This is our charity prompt. Find something yellow and snap it.

A yellow Turkish sunset

 


24. In the background: Get creative and shoot something in the background, rather than the foreground.

Not very creative today Im afraid but I always love this photo for the background.


25. Culture: I can’t wait to see the photos for this one. Not sure what it means?
 
I learnt the most about cultural variations when I spent a summer living abroad in Turkey. Little differences that seem insignificant can be hugely important. Part of the youth culture over there to make a little extra money is to offer to weigh tourists for 1 lira (40p). My parents gave 2 lira to one little lad and had themselves weighed, and the boy across the street was looking in awe, so my lovely other half walks over, hands him a 5 lira note and stands on the scales. His little face was a picture! He couldnt read the scales, but who cares.




26. Entrance: Find an entry to somewhere. Anywhere.

The Tamar Bridge - entrance to Cornwall




27. 10 minutes from home: What a great excuse to explore. Take a walk or a drive and see what’s right near where you live.

 A 10 minute drive takes us the the beautiful Saltash Passage :)




28. Corridor: Show off a hallway or corridor. It’s a great way to explore perspective {which we learnt about in July}.


I didn't have time to look at perspective for today's prompt, 
so I took a photo of the hallway in our new house. We just put up
our sign :) 





29. Lucky: It could be a lucky charm, or a reason you feel lucky.



30. Cluttered: Is there a space in your home/work/life that feels a bit cluttered? Now is the time to show it off. Be creative!

Sorry, but this one just annoyed me. Cluttered mind, cluttered life, and all that!
So here is my lovely shelf that was very cluttered, but I cleaned it up so it's half psych, half forensics.  






31. Dangerous: This could get a little scary! Let’s see your dangerous! 

The most dangerous this I have done to this date was jump off a 6550 ft cliff.
