Photography

I didn't include photography in my list of interests because it's more than that. It's a way of life.

I'm not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, I take snaps. I'm the mistress of the wonky horizon, a dab hand at blurry images and photos of the inside of my pocket. As you can see, I don't use a sophisticated camera, but have at least two of those pictured - or a combination of them - about my person most of the time. It's all about point-and-shoot with me, mainly because I'm not looking to craft a wonderful image, I'm just wanting to capture something that's caught my eye and keep a record of it.

• My Canon Powershot SX HS is a compact digital camera, perfect size for keeping in my pocket, I can whip it out at a moment's notice, it's lightweight and easy to use.

• The Fujifilm FinePix S8650 is a bridge camera meaning it's a half-way house between a simple point and shoot and a DSLR, with an awesome zoom and comfortable hand grip. For times when I'm wanting to experiment a little, maybe trying to get a good shot of a carving high up on a building.

• Then there is the Samsung Galaxy S5 camera with its panorama funtionality as well as a number of camera apps, including my favourite and most used, Vingette. I've recently installed a micro SD card to provide extra memory which is great if I'm away from home for any length of time and unable to download my photos.

• My new iPod has a camera that's way better than in its earlier incarnations, but mostly I'll use it for Hipstamatic which is only available on iOS, not Android. It's all too easy for me to use up my Samsung's internal memory, so sometimes I use the iPod as an alternative.

I've also got a bunch of analogue cameras and have one of them in use for a month at a time. Shots I take with my film cameras are more for fun and a bit of trial and error and that lovely anticipation of waiting to see how the shot has turned out when the film is developed. I'll post which one I'm using each month and eventually how the film has turned out, although that could take a while.

Suffice to say, I never leave the house without at least one camera, always on the look out for graffiti and many of the other mini-projects I have on the go. Watch this space.
