Luckily we were sat underneath a canopy when I was taking this photo but boy was it really raining that day! Single frame series once again inspired by Jim Grey

Moving that bit closer
I love how taking a step closer to something when taking a photo creates a more abstract perspective don't you? I haven't taken as many photos this year - my creativity has been wrapped up in grief - but I've felt as the years gone on that I have taken some photos that I've really loved the results of, and these are three of them.

Bridlington Old Town
Earlier in the year, to celebrate our anniversary, we spent a long weekend in Bridlington. We've never really spent longer than a few hours in Bridlington before so it was nice to explore it properly and enjoy getting to know somewhere new to us.
One of my favourite parts was the Bridlington old town area, with its quaint - but sadly empty - streets and lovely church. We also stopped for a burger in one of the pubs which was yummy!

Little details at Oxburgh Hall
I guess you've probably gathered from all my photos at Oxburgh Hall that I love old halls and luckily for us, there are so many around the UK. In fact, my parents gave me a book of my Grandad's that was just old halls in Yorkshire - and now I want to visit them ALL! And obviously take photos...
I've been taking Susannah Conway's Blogging from the Heart course over the last couple of weeks - more as a little reminder as to why I love blogging rather than because I need to learn much more about it - so rather than just leave you with the details here like I usually do, I'm going to say a little bit about how much I love taking photos like this.
There's something so wonderful in the act of noticing things I think - but to document it, to really look at something a bit closer through a lens - that experience is a bit more intimate and much more personal. Rather than just glimpsing, you almost create a story between yourself and the object you're taking a photo of, an attachment of sorts - so when you get that film photo back from the lab not only do you see that object in the photo, but you remember how you felt when you saw it and you feel that connection all over again.
