August

Summer ended with a splash and not because we were all out enjoying hot, sunny weather at the beach. 

When it rains, it pours, and in a way, summer did end with a bang too.. But also a few claps and flashing skies.

Nevertheless, August was a great month. A month that has seen considerable growth for my Instagram, clocking in at a little over 300 in the last week (and I didn't even cheat with third party apps and sites!).

It's also been a month of renewed effort and refining across the board for my photography. I've been putting out, what I believe to be my most consistent, high quality work; to date. If you've been following my work over on Instagram (www.instagram.com/whiteglare) you may  will have noticed.

This post contains several of my favourites taken this month (not all) along with images taken for memories sake during family day's/trip's out. Enjoy them!

Lumia 640 captures, customer reviews -

As aforementioned in a previous blog post, I intended to share a couple pictures I took with the Lumia 640 during my time with the device. Well, here they are!

Hope you liked them!

Now onto what's new. Firstly, I've added a new page to the blog, the new page being 'Reviews'. The page's purpose is self-explanatory and I look forward to sharing customer's reviews with you all shortly.

That's all for this post, be sure to check back tomorrow as I'll have a new post up.

Kind regards,

Luke 

Week in review -

The past week has been a fairly good one. Just yesterday, along with placing a customer's order, I smashed both the highest daily visitor total as well as the highest weekly visitor total.

I've also been contacted again by Microsoft, formally Nokia, regarding them sending me out a phone. All I'm required to do in return is leave a review on their site. This is great, as it allows me to share pictures taken with the device to the potentially, hundreds of thousands of users subscribed to any one of their social media feeds. Great exposure for myself and my photography.

This past Sunday, was my sister's birthday. So, happy birthday, Kayleigh!

I also spent some time with friends and managed to get in a bit of practice shooting moving subjects, such as this motorbike:

I've never shot a moving vehicle before and wasn't familiar with what settings I should use, so I'm quite pleased with the outcome.

As always, thanks for your support!

Rain, wind and hail -

When it rains, it also hails and blows a gale. The weather wasn't exactly favourable, but despite this, it was still an enjoyable walk in an area that I haven't visited for many years.

Muddy marsh - 

The large majority of today was spent walking Sally, with Vikki. We'd planned to on Sunday, but never got around to it, for the best, the weather today was even better.

I was able to practice portraiture a little, which was very nice as I haven't had many opportunities as of posting.

Following are a few of my favourite captures from the day.

Charing visit - My captures

I haven't shot much this past week, but of what I have, I am very please with. The following 2 images were shot in Charing, Kent, whilst visiting my girlfriend and her parent's home.

So, thank you, Vikki for being a good subject (and walking out into the mud)!
