Sun, Sea and Sand... Is that really Blackpool?

So on one of Meg's very very rare days off! I decided to go out and start playing with my camera. The chosen destination this time was... wait for it... Blackpool Beach!!!!!!

Yes, I know I know, Blackpool Beach isn't one of the nicest place (and for 52 weeks of the year it is probarly to cold to have a trip to the beach) and in my heart of hearts (and I do hate to admit it) I do wish it was some Caribbean Beach. However I am quite impressed with how these photographs came out! Defiantly does the place some justice!

On the shoot the aims were to start playing around with the Shutter Speed, ISO and the Aperture. But shooting had to be cut short as the tide was coming in so I scarpered.
Well thats enough of me rambling, here are the picture, enjoy:

Christmas Day Outing with a Squirrel

So, on Christmas Day while the dinner was in the oven. I decided to go out and have a play with my camera. I had just received a tripod off my Dad for Christmas and also wanted to try this out.
I have only just received the camera (Canon EOS 600D) for my birthday (10th December) I am still fathoming out how to use it, previously for my A-Levels I had used a Nikon D3200.
We went down to our local park, while strolling around I became inspired by a little squirrel, as previously mentioned I had only just received the camera so shooting the squirrel became quite a challenge as it was a nippy little animal! However, I am quite pleased with how some of the photographs have come out. Here is are my favourites:
