Weekend of Mobile Photography/Art with Fiona Christian

Batemans, the former home of Rudyard Kipling is only 2 miles away. They always have plenty of freshly cut flowers around the house which make lovely subjects throughout the year.

Scotney Castle is just a few miles further on. There are plenty of Rhododendron walks in Spring but the main house and castle are beautiful all year round.

Sissinghurst was the home of Vita Sackville-West a novelist, poet and gardener-extraordinaire, where she created some of the most beautiful gardens in Kent

Herstmoncieux Castle is steeped in history and surrounded by formal Elizabethan gardens and woodland.

The Seven Sisters Country Park contains some unique landmarks which include Birling Gap, Beachy Head, Seaford Head and Cuckmere Haven. One of the most picturesque parts of the south coast, it has breathtaking views in every direction.

Sheffield Park is best known for its stunning autumn colours and vibrant spring displays but there’s always something to admire all year round.

Most of these pics have been taken using Hipstamatic. That was the app that re-introduced me to photography back in 2010 and is still the app I use most today. I used to shoot exclusively with it but owing to the huge variety of lenses and films now available, I find it a challenge to remember what most of them do! I now prefer to shoot most things with the native camera and then use Hipstamatic to edit the ones I like, later. I’ve found that if I select a favourite Hipstamatic  setting and shoot with that, I’m less likely to experiment with alternatives and therefore less likely to discover new combos.

It’s been a fairly bleak and uninspiring winter, so I’m looking forward to a few bright, warm spring days where I can get out & about again and maybe discover some hidden gems.

Once I’ve sorted the washing, of course 😉
