After lots of research I finally decided on an idea for my book cover,the trouble is the item I want to use is very hard to find.
Not sure if I should persit in trying to locate it or give it up as a bad job !
I'm basically trying to find an antique. I suspect it will make my cover look very original and it definately ties in with the book. As the author is alleged to have written the book on an old underwood typewriter.
Will have to see if I can locate said item, if not I had an idea of using origarmi birds.
Managed to locate a typewriter turns out my wife who is a teacher had the exact machine I was after lurking in a corner at her school. I could not velievd my luck.
I spent the whole evening experimenting taking shots under differing light settings and at different angles. I really enjoyed it and was very pleased with the end results.
One frustration that Dix arrise was not having the confide cd or the time to recreate the same shot on a film camera. I borrowed a camera, but never got round to actually taking the shots on film. I would have loved to have entered the competition.
About Me
- Me
- Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
- I am a father of two, who has been a paramedic for 15 years and a professional photographer for around 5. That is until recently, from the 1st of May 2017 I will no longer work on the frontline full time. Instead I have made the transition from specialist paramedic to advanced practitioner and will be working full time in primary care. This blog will chart the development of myself from my current role of specialist paramedic to an advanced practitioner. In the last year I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative condition which affects the spine. While this diagnosis saddened me obviously. It also came as a relief as I had struggled for over a year and had no idea what was wrong with me. So the diagnosis also came with some relief as I finally had a name to put to my condition. It did help me to look forward and consider a new career pathway. I am the first paramedic to work in primary care in my practice area. This is quite an accolade.
