Inspiration has been hard of late and I have been going through a bit of a dry, uncreative spell. What better way to come out of that, than purchase a new piece of equipment. I have bought a ‘halo ring soft light’. This is something that is used mostly in portraits and without a willing victim available I had to practice on myself. The…
I absolutely love crows and ravens and I have been trying to get a decent photo for a while. This little fella happily obliged and gave me a few reasonable shots. This picture is also on the animal page but this has been cropped even more and observes the rule of thirds with the eye being on an intersecting point of vertical and horizontal…
My Husband asked me to take a series of shots that he had imagined would look good. Black and white, hooded with just the lower part of the face showing. We took a series of shots and I put the camera into monochrome mode and used a red filter. I edited in lightroom and we were happy there were some good shots. This is…
Labradors and water are a winning combination and provide some brilliant shots if you can get in the right position and don’t mind getting a little wet. This young lady was a challenge to photograph as she was just so energetic. However I did manage to get some good ones. I am learning the skill of changing the focal length as I am shooting…
Watching a child learning such great motor skills such as jumping and balancing in the best environment that is nature is wonderful as well as great photo opportunities. I have again desaturated as the background colours seem to take the focus away from what this little man was doing. He was really flying. I have enhanced texture to bring out wood chip which has…
Nothing warms the heart like the picture of a young child having the happiest of times. This picture shows it all really.
I had the opportunity to take some photos little lady and was quite excited about the results. I got a good variety of shots and had the chance to practice ‘action’ shots. This was a lovely surprise when I saw the effects of the bubbles. They were providing some good reflection and the one over her face adds to the level of interest this…
Desaturated this to just leave the red. Helps draw your eye to the postman. I initially cropped this more trying to focus on the postman but lost a lot of context and story. The more I look at this, the more I like it. I realise that the shot I take is not always the whole story but may contain within it something far…
Such a beautiful moon tonight! What pleased me was how quickly I got home, after a few glasses on fizz(courtesy of my beautiful friend) got my 100-400mm and took the shot hand held. A few months ago I couldn’t get a decent moon picture at all. I am learning!
This was one of those moments that could have easily been lost. Just walking around the Heath and saw this. I initially walked past and then it dawned on me to go back and take a look. It was just the way it was laying on the heather, fully open being asked to be read. I was astounded by the love in the text….
