Update.

Hello :)
just a quick update, i have a new phone.
Alcatel OT-800
it has a qwerty keyboard, like the one my mother washed.It's quite nice, but i much prefer the one which was washed, as it had colour on! (pink) this one is just black, it's still pretty groovy. & i went to get my sister from school, and i had my uniform on and a cardi, not hood or umberella, an well it rained.. when we got home we were soaked! It was pretty funny, we walked into a little newsagents so my sister could get a 20p pix up ^^ an the people in the shop laughed at us! it must have been pretty funny, honestly it looked as if we had gone into a swimming pool with all of out clothes on. I have loads of homework and revision to do over the weekend. On monday i have an exam :l we did a plan today, the task is to write an article to persuade people of an animal welfare issue, i hate when we have to write about thinks like this, i hate finding out about it, i know its actually a problem out there, but i feel so bad. I'm writing about unwanted pets. My headline at the moment is ' DONT FORGET THE SHELTERS!' it's a bit rubbish i need to think of something better, hopefully i will. I got pretty emotion whilst reading about this unwanted pets issue, i couldn't believe the statistics. i have nothing else to say.
i have started some research for my next photography post, i shall try to finish it this weekend, only trouble is i have so much homework and revision to do, and i'd get in so much trouble if my mum found out this blog was getting in the way of my school work.
till next time.

 yes, i know i have a bum chin :(

Erik Stensland

Hey , so this is the first edition to the photography blog, i hope you all like it, after hours of research this is just some of the information i have come up with. I enjoyed so much reseraching this man, i loved it, so i hope i get a great response and that i shall continue in the future to wright this blog. Instead of doing homework last night this is what i did :)
So Erik is a nature photographer, I decided to take a look of some of his work, and i have to say he is amazing, the colours that he captires within his pictures is just purely stunning. So the collection of images in which i looked at are from 'Morning Light' and these pictures are described as showing the 'beauty of the world' and believe me thry sure do. The lighting in his pictures is astonishing, i have fallen in love with his work immediatlry. I normally go for simplistic images within my own photography normally only focusing on one object but within Erik's photography he has many different objects ( maybe not the correct word in this context) also in most of his pictures he has layers and layers of colour, I think this is what attracted me to this photographer the most. In my own photography i normally have only the central piece which is often a vibrant colour and then the background is basic as possible so it doesn't take to much attraction awat from the main focus, however in his pictures he manages to use a variety.range of colour and still manage to creat a great shot. So among this website are thousands of his images, he has them from all over the globe, and i'm just simply going to choose images from the united kingdom because thats were i am from, but if you would like to look at some more of his work ( i would strongly advise) visit: http://morninglight.us/

i think this images is stunning, i love how he has captured a load of colours, and it looks amazing, creating a perfect shot.

Again a variety of colours, this image looks so gentle whilst fun.

wow, thats all i can say, this image in my eyes is stunning.

This has to be my favorite image of them all, i think this image almost looks cartoonish, but maybe it's only me who thinks that. I believe there is a difference in this picture to otheres, this image has a main focus (light house) and it looks stunning, but he doesn't then decide what i would do and go for a very basic background to enable the lighthosue to stand out, he assures that he has layers of colours added. Truley stunning.



So that's all for this one, hope you've enjoyed it! :)
I sure did enjoy research, i find this so much fun, i think this is what i'm going to do from now on. If anyone has any recommendations on photographer then please inform me, I'd love new ideas.
Ohh and just to tell you all i found my phone, it fell out of my pocket in French, oh and i had R.E revision to night which was a whole load of fun, i now like R.E! :)
until next time,

photography.

so i was thinking if i have a themed blog, maybe this will improve my popularity as a blogger. I'm a huge fan of photography so i thought that could be my theme. PHOTOGRAPHY. as well as updating you on some of my favorite photographers i could also get some useful info on photography :)
Unfortunatley i don't have anymore of my own photo's to add because i don't have a camera, unless i peersuade my grandad to let me use his for a while until christmas, i doubt thats going to happen, but ill try :)
i just have to apologise for lieing i didn't actually think this myself, someone read my blog and informed me if i have a theme this could help.
i can't wait to get started now :)
until next time.
Nicole!

'and the week just got worse,'

Hello :)
back to bore you, school was rubbishy nothing excited happened apart from a kid getting kicked out of school for going through someones personal belongings and steeling there phone, and i was told i have two exam/tests next tuesday, the joy of school.
butbutbut..
i was walking out of school in the normal way, pulling my ipod out of my pocket and putting some tunes on, i don't know why but i normally have oasis playing whilst walking from school to the bus.. but anyway.. i then went to get my phone from my pocket and it wasn't there! i didn't know what to do, i thought maybe i just put it in my bag after p.e so, i walked to the bus, sat down and looked through my bag, i think i elbowed the girl sitting next to me in the process, ill say sorry, promise.
ive lost my phone :(
devistated, i don't know why really because i never really use it, i just like to have it in my left pocket. i'm going to go on a mission for it tommorow in school, though its probably been picked up and stolen forever! the thought of someone going through my texts and images.. urgh.
i was watching tv this morning, and i was watching day break, and well they came on with the news about the australlia's next top model thingy, if you didn't know.. basically the host of australlia's next top model got it wrong and said that one girl won, then a little while later was informed she got it wrong and it was actually the other girl! mega cringe. golly imagine that, you'd got to the final and were over the moon that you'd just won, then your told, actually you're not the winner D:
i feel sorry for the poor girl.
tonight, i think i'm going to get some homework done, i have no idea what homework i have but i assure you ill have some, i have revision too so i may do that, there is nothing to do nowadays, and no one comes on 'msn' during the week so there is no one to talk to, are they don't come on till later tonight anyway..
86 days till my camera people! get excited i know i am!
as soon as i have it there will be like a hundred pictures on here everyday ^^
canon 400D :') i love you.
soo i have nothing else to say.
till next time.

Perfection

Hey :)
my mum is off to see the one and only Michael Bublé tonight, and ive never been so jealous. He is just perfect. Everything about him gives me butterflies.(yes i have realised the age difference) I'm left home alone, with my sister as always, my dads taking advantage of tonight to and he's of out so i'm home.
I have homework to do though, and a load of it. School is so stressful. i have a french piece to write for tommorow, and i just don't understand it at all, we have to describe our best friends, so if anyone would like to help i'd be greatful ^^ ahaa.. i'm only joking, i will get to it eventually, i also have to finish some geography work, but thats okay, if i make this piece of work really good i may be able to talk to some children from INDA! and yes i actually really want to, endless questions i would like to ask them, only problem i would have is we have to like skype and i would constantly be depressed over the way i look, but once i start talking i'm sure it would be okay. Ehhh.. i hate ICT, we have started our course work which goes towards 60% of our overall mark, so i'm getting really worried, because i'm not understanding it to well, and i find it really boring, so i believe thats one of the GCSE's i shall fail :/
i was made to run.
i hate running, i have really bad knees so if i wanted to i could of realistically got out of it, but i did it :D proud?
i have nothing much else to tell you about, i'm sorry my posts are so boring at the moment, but its all schoolschooschool, i promise i shall try make it more exciting.
Till next time,

a day in the life of Nicole Martin.

Hello again.

i'm back to bore you :)

so today was ultra boring, i had to get up at 5:30 am ... how do i do it? you ask... with great difficulty. Hmm..i got to go back to bed till ten past six which wasn't too bad i guess. Had a naff day at school, well rubbish lessons is what i mean by that, though i did get called an Emo D:

'My name is Nicole Louise Martin, I'm an Emo and i'm in love with Jake Harris!'

yes, thats what i got out of today, my identity. It's not true of course, i'm not emo, and Jack Harris is ultra cute but two years younger. Bless, that reminds me i must say sorry to him tommorow :/

I'm going to end this post with a few pictures of my photography please do tell me what you think,

thankyou.

thats all for now D:

until next time,

Bye.
