FAQ
ABOUT ROBYN MAYDAY
What’s this blog about?
Robyn Mayday is primarily a style blog run by me - a 20 year
old student. I also love to share bargain fashion finds with my readers. I’m much more focused on style than brands and labels. Don’t
get me wrong, the designer stuff serves as brilliant inspiration, but I just
can’t afford the real deal. Even if I could, I don’t think I could ever fall
out of love with unearthing bargains on the web and the high-street.
What does ‘Robyn Mayday’ mean?
Well, I’m Robyn, but Mayday isn’t my surname; it’s just a word I
added onto the end of my name to make it a bit jazzier! ‘Robyn’ alone would
have served me fine, but some blonde singer already took that didn’t
she! Me and Rihanna are in the same boat here. ‘Mayday’ has featured in a few of my usernames on the web
since I was about 15 and I originally took it from a Gallows song (I was
well into my screamo!).
ABOUT ME:
Where are you from?
A bit confusing to answer, but here goes. I was bought up in
Surrey until I was 11, then we moved to Somerset.
Then I chose to tootle up to Nottingham to study a degree in Sociology for 3 years,
which I’ve almost completed now. I'm still hanging out in the midlands.
ABOUT MY IMAGES
What camera do you use?
I have a Canon 1000D and it’s served me well for around 5
years (EDIT March 2013: I now have a 650D . I also use 2 different lenses – a Canon 50mm F/1.8 II and (more
frequently) a Canon 18-55mm).
It might be worth checking out this post for more information about my photography kit.
How do you get your pictures to look like that?
I use a remote shutter and
I always use my camera in manual mode.
In terms of editing, I just use Photoshop Elements 6.0. I
like to keep my images pretty natural looking, so I just make simple changes
such as sharpening it slightly or amending the shadows / highlights.
Again, you might want to read my photography kit post for more information.
