I took this yesterday on Brighton beach. Isn't it just really cool? It looks like I've messed with the photo in some way but it was in fact two disco balls that where outside a bar on the sea front. When I saw them I knew I just had to photograph them. Trouble is it was just me and my two year old so I couldn't just wander off to take pictures. This was therefore taken with a really long zoom. I think it's still been captured well. I now want to go back again and take a picture from the other side as that would show a pixelated image of the pier which would also be very cool.

'Brighton brighton brighton' by trembly1
It was sunny today so my little girl and I decided on a trip to Brighton. We had lunch, played on the beach, then did a spot of shopping. The highlight for me was probably having a look in a camera and photography shop which I've walked past so many times before but never actually gone in. It was fantastic and it's really made me think some more about getting an instant camera of some sort. It was nice to chat and get some advice from someone who obviously had a lot of knowledge on that type of camera.
If I did get a polaroid style camera then I could go down to Brighton and take photos like this. What I love about polaroids is the gritty realness you get. It also means you have to work to find beauty in every day things and look for places that are really interesting. I love this beach hut photo because it's so retro and "real". It's an interesting contrast to all the bright and pretty beach hut photos you see.
Right, better get researching. I've asked on here before but any more advice and opinions on the subject are most welcome.

'roller coaster' by Leahminium
I've got a real thing about funfair photos. I realised that when I saw how many ferris wheel photos I've posted on this blog! I should rename this blog 'It's all about the beach huts and big wheels'! Fairgrounds do make for such great photos though as there's always so many colours and interesting shapes. For example, I really like this photo because of the lovely bright colours and also because of the great shapes. My favourite bit though has to be in the small details. I love the guy in the second carriage with his arms in the air. He's waving them like he's being really brave but from the looks of this photo it seems to be the least scary bit of rollercoaster ever! It would be interesting to learn what the rest of the ride is like.

'Splash' by Me
I thought I'd share this photo with you tonight as it's such a contrast to the weather we've been having for the past couple of days. It's been so hot and sunny it hard to believe that only a few days ago this is what my daughter was doing with her time. Actually thinking about it it's not actually that different to what she's been doing today, except today it was a paddling pool and not - I quote - "The Biggest Puddle In The World"!

'way up high...:)' by Amiee Lynn
Well the summer is finally here! The sunshine and hot weather arrived and we've had a lovely weekend which included spending time with good friends, wedding celebrations, jugs of Pimms, barbecue food and paddling pool fun!
I love this care free photo as the angle is really interesting. I'd love to have a go at recreating something like this but how would I go about it? Lie on the floor under the swing I guess but knowing my luck I'd end up being hit in the face. But however it was done it was worth it because this photo is rather beautiful.

'Untitled' by JuLieT_
It's Friday again. Hope you've all got fantastic weekends planned. And if you don't have any plans then that's even better because you can just be spontaneous and see where the wind blows you.
I have chosen this image to start the weekend as these contrasting colours are just so striking. It's definitely a work of art. The photo is also so crisp and clear which I love.
Happy weekend everyone!

'holiday ghosts' by friendlydragon
I love this beach hut photo because it's got beach huts in it obviously but that's not the only reason. I love the old postcard effect and it works so well here. I can really believe it was an old picture stuck on someone's wall somewhere. I also love the light. Even though there are all the vintage tones it still feels like a bright sunny day. One thing that does confuse me a bit though is that the photographer has labelled this as a sad and melancholic image where as I don't really see it that way. I think my perception of it is more of old but loved beach huts waiting for the summer so they can be enjoyed again after the long winter months. What do you think? Is this a happy or sad photo?
