Blackberry Tea

Since my blog is titled "The Tea Drunk Photographer" I think it's only appropriate that I do a couple of posts every now and then on some of my favourite tea's. I believe I've only done one so far and that simply won't do! So without further ado, here's the first of what I hope will be many tea posts.

Art of Tea is a great local (Tasmanian) brand with a diverse range of types and flavours. The one that I've been drinking lately is a little beauty; Blackberry Tea. This is essentially a premium black tea with freeze dried blackberries and blackberry leaves. I like a slightly fruity tea and this is great to have in winter because it lacks that sharpness that other berries seem to have in teas which is really more of a summer thing. Great with milk and a little sugar.

Happy infusing and God bless! More tea posts to come soon!

Lately...

SO! It's been about fifty billion years since I've made a blog post but thought it would be a good idea to keep this thing updated considering it's the first thing that pops up in Google under my name.

Photography-wise, things are pretty exciting! I now have my own camera and a 50mm f1.4 so I have been up to a lot of fun things. I also have four weddings booked in for the end of this year and the beginning of 2013 (pumped!).

Here's a few things that I've done lately...

Also, I would like to make mention to my most favourite blog Bon Appetempt; seriously folks, it's seriously funny not to mention the fact that the food is crazy delicious! So what are you waiting for? Get over there!

God bless!

Black and White

Lately, I have been re-discovering my black and white editing style and I must admit; I have missed it. So I thought I might share with you some of the images I have worked on. As usual the photos themselves are quite old as I've had no chance to take any new ones lately :(

Enjoy!

Absence

I have to apologise for my neglect towards The Tea Drunk Photographer. It's not so much that I've been hectic busy, it's that I've been trying to get a hold of a lot things and God has really been bringing me through a lot of changes which is hard, but also truly wonderful! It's great to see prayers answered in ways that you didn't expect and in such a intricate and long term way. Praise God!

What am I doing at the moment? Well, I have started my ministry mentorship under my pastor and the ministries I'm involved with are getting under way so that's all very exciting! I'll also hopefully be sending out my resume sometime this week to various cafe's. It'll be nice to have a job I'm getting a bit lazy to be honest haha!

Anywho! Here are some new, blue photos to make up for my long absence:

God bless!

Mel

I had a photoshoot with my dear, artistic friend last night at the same place as my previous post with the power-lines. Got caught in the rain and wind, enjoyed some massively heavy looking clouds; had fun! :D

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks Mel!

Powerlines

I went for a night last Friday with my friends Canon D450 and took some photos of my favourite place. This is pretty close to my house and it's where I go for a nice long prayer walk. I know these looks fairly light but that's only due to the editing; it was actually quite dark, about 9:00.

Coles Bay

I went down to Coles Bay this last weekend and I envisioned myself taking wonderful summery photos by the seaside; turns out I forgot my camera and so this never happened. BUT! I am determined to show you the beautiful place that it is so here are a couple of photos from when I was last there, two years ago.

I could only stay for the weekend but the rest of my family intended to stay for the whole week. I went home on Sunday night which was fortunate for me because they endured a huge storm that literally tore our tent in two. Glad I missed it!
