My first experience of the lincolnshire show was not disappointing at all, in fact there was a lot more to it than what i was expecting! Usually I plan days out to the extent of I know exactly what’s there, where i want to go/ what i want to see etc but with this i just kind of winged-it, partly due to not knowing whether i would be working or not so when I found out I was free to go, I just looked up bus times and went.

It was a brilliantly sunny day which I’m very thankful for, as my images came out great it was one of those occasions where I just picked up my camera before hand- it wasn’t an event that I planned to document; I just wanted a few shots of my day out and of my first visit to the show. Instead I came home with a full memory card of everything from horse riders to vintage steam engines and everything in between: Such as wooden sculptures crafted my a man with a chainsaw in less than 20 minutes, target practice with air rifles, sleepy pigs, combine harvesters, a marching band and a jousting tournament. The only unfortunate aspect of my day was my little sunburnt nose.

These are the highlights anyway, there’s more on my flickr and facebook pages.

Other than this, the usual cinema going working and crafting. I am also looking into getting more exposure- not just using competitions but looking at selling landscape prints, where I can exhibit, funds/ grants I can get etc so saul goode and I’m planning on photographing the olympic torch when it arrives next week too!
