On Sunday 4th March, hundreds of people attended a march, followed by a three-act play, produced by the St Piran Trust. Actors present St Piran’s life from his birth in Ireland, his arrival in Cornwall and the discovery of tin.

The Event is held in Perranporth on the nearest Sunday to St Piran's Day, March 5th, as this is where according to legend St Piran washed up on a millstone from Ireland in the 5th Century AD.

I am really pleased with this set of images, Especially the first image on my blog. When I first developed the negatives and printed up the contact sheets I was disappointed with the shoot. I didn't think I had anything, but then after my tutors picked out the top image as a really nice shot, and asked me to Scan it and FTP it to Cartel Photos so they could put it up on the front page I looked harder and saw the images in a completely different light. I made an edit (the pictures above) and have sent them to the Cartel so hopefully I will have my first complete set of images up there!

I'm so happy with how my photography has developed over this Relationships brief and how much my work has improved from last term. The ideas are still taking time to come through however I am not making as many technical mistakes as I did first term and I am producing much better Images.

As Always,
