30 Minutes in the Life – March 2019 | Relief

ceri-herd-photography-hampshire-photographer-01

Four months back living in the UK and four months feeling disconnected from my camera.

You could say I’ve been in a photographic rut. Life took over and I couldn’t make it stop. ⁣It’s hardly surprising, I suppose, that when life feels unsettled your focus shifts to finding stability, and the ups and downs of being creative certainly don’t go hand-in-hand that!

But just like the change in seasons, life is turning a corner and soon we’re going to start the next chapter. I am forcing myself to pick up my camera, forcing myself to edit and forcing myself to share. I want to document our lives when the tide changes and I need to be back up to speed when it does.

And so, this weekend I forced the family to take a trip to the beach. My excuse was a new gadget – a neutral density filter – to test, but my reason was to stretch my creative wings. It was such a relief to feel connected again.

Share Six Blog Circle – February 2019 | Paper Heart & Red

Ceri-Herd-Photography-Paper-Heart-Project-2

** February is Heart Month **

This month Share Six has joined forces with The Paper Heart Project to spread awareness for congenital heart defects, and we’re incorporating two themes for you to interpret as you wish: {red} and {heart}.

One out of a hundred children are born with a CHD. There are many different types of CHDs and children can suffer from one defect or multiple defects. The severity of the defect can range from mild, meaning a child will need no treatment, to terminal, the defects will ultimately take the child’s life. Congenital Heart Defects are severely under researched and underfunded. Therefore, the more awareness individuals can spread the more funding the heart community hopes to gain.

Thank you for joining me into the new year and for another month at Share Six! You can share your paper heart images to join the campaign using #paperheartproject #chdawareness

For shares specific to Share Six and for your chance to be featured, use #sharesix_red_heart on Instagram or post on our Facebook page SHARE SIX. A new theme will be posted on 6th March.

Up next is the fabulous Liz Willson of It’s Still Life Photography. Please Click Here to see her images and be sure to leave her some love!

Inspired by Life Blog Circle | July 365

July is long gone and we’ll be back to school in the blink of an eye, so it’s about time I share my images from July. It was a month of two halves: waiting to be home and being home, the home that is England. We spent precious time with so many loved ones. If you’ll watching carefully you’ll see a few of them in these images.

Share Six Blog Circle – August 2018 | Water

Two-boys-photograph-water-reflection-ceri-herd-photography-massachusetts

The theme at Share Six this month is {Water}.

We’ve been contemplating the future a lot recently. We don’t know where we’ll be down the road, but what I do know is that I long to be by the sea. Or a big lake at the very least. The ocean, the waves and the sand between my toes fill my heart with joy, with peace and respite from the daily grind. I want to walk the dog on the beach every morning, come rain or shine. Even snow. I want big views and big sky. And light. Give me all the light reflecting off the water and let it shine!

I’m travelling this month so I’m pulling a few recent beachside favourites from my archives. Maybe they’ll give you some inspiration for your own dreams or better still, inspire you to submit your own images with us! Post your {Water} images on our Facebook page SHARE SIX or to our Instagram gallery by tagging #sharesix and #sharesix_water. A new theme will be posted on 6th September.

That was six at the seaside but I’m throwing in an extra special favourite too, just because…. water.

Share Six Blog Circle – July 2018 | Curves

Lensbaby Burnside 35mm Share Six Curves plant

The theme for this month’s Share Six blog circle is {Curves}.

My take on the theme may be a little tenuous but I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to share some images taken with the latest addition to my lens collection: the Lensbaby Burnside 35mm. The Burnside not only has gorgeous creamy tones, with the right application it creates beautifully curved bokeh. See what I did there? Look for the swirling curves that draw your eye to the subject:
