So we arrived at Poplars Landfill in Cannock on a cold Thursday morning a couple of weeks ago. Now I know a landfill site doesn't sound like a good place to take photographs but Biffa (the company who own it) are trying their best to make it look as good as they can by planting over it and generally trying to make it fit into the landscape of Cannock Chase.
We soon realised that this session wasn't the one off class we were expecting but it was the last week of a six week photography course. So after a few conversations we signed up for the next six week course when it was running.
Meanwhile...The lecturer is a guy called Steve who is really nice and a great photographer. He's obviously really passionate about what he does. Steve came straight over to talk to me about photos I'd like to take, and what sort of experience I've got. He soon realised I am a complete beginner when it comes to photography and he asked me if I would get together some photos that I'd taken and bring them to the next meeting.
I wanted to share some of these photographs with you. They are some of my favourites from over the last two years since I've had the camera. See what you think.
These two photographs were taken on a cold and rainy July day at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland where some scenes from Harry Potter were filmed. July 2010. Alnwick Castle is a lovely day out if you are ever in the area. www.alnwickcastle.com/
This was a day trip to Blackpool on another cold and blustery day in October 2010.
Our trip to Maldives in January 2011.
This is taken at the Green Grocers in Mill Street in Stafford in February 2012.
