Knowing a bit more about photography makes it easier to understand how and why some oil paintings, say the impressionist, abstract or even watercolour paintings, came into being.

"A beautiful closeup of delicate orchid blossoms and a kaleidoscope of background colors. Great depth and soft light."

A review by Flickr friend/Connoisseur Gertrud Klopp

After several days of shooting with David Swindler, he kindly invited me to join his group out to White Pocket. WP has been at the top of my list for several years, so thanks to David I was able to strike that one off my list. That's Cody Wilson way off in the background, I happened to look up from my composition and noticed he was going to have to remove me from his photo if I didn't high tail it out of his shot. So I fired off a couple so that he would lend a sense of scale to the scene. Had a lot of fun shooting here but if you show up during the day its not nearly as impressive as dusk. All the textures start to pop out and the sandstone glows in the twilight. Had a great time and met some really nice people.

For a great photography adventure at the best times of the day or night, look no further than ActionPhotoTours.com, David is an award winning accomplished landscape photographer, and all around nice guy.

I haven't had a kalanchoe quite like this one. New blooms keep appearing daily. I like using them for macro shots and am having fun experimenting with washi paper backgrounds. I like the way the buds showed up in this pic.

Please note that long lists of group invites will be vapourised.

Hello awesome Flickr People !!

Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and the theme at the fabulous *ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ Group, is white background.

So what is yellow, full of vitamins, goes great with gin & tonic and looks awesome on white background ? Lemon of course !!

I had this picture on my mind for quite some time now so when I heard the white background theme I was ready !

Well at least in my head, because capturing the picture that I actually like is surprisingly very time consuming (am I too obsessive ??? Am I a photography monster ?? I think we have something here.)… We all (yes, my family’s input is mandatory during the photo shoots !!) almost lost our minds with this one… Luckily we had gin & tonic for my husband and I and video games for my sons to calm down… So cheers my friends and I hope you like the result !

See you later my friends !!

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr!!

Another from last year. The background is natural - just the early light falling on golden grass with the butterfly in my shadow and a tweak or two of the exposure.

Macro Monday - Misfit

I bought these tiny rose petals for use in cooking and baking (at least that's what I told my husband ;) I already had the rosebud.

I added a texture (my own) then brushed it off most of the white areas and over egged the edit as I thought it suited it. HMM

Processed in Photomatix Essential 4.0, 3 shots (-1, 0, 1 EV).

Photographing signs is not the most original venture. In the background, a few lights from the skyscrapers in Frankfurt downtown can be seen. Just messing around.

WHEN SWEET CORN IS RIPE….

THE HARVEST IS IN... then, you know it is Autumn… here in Northern Europe at least.

All Summer you see the fields getting higher.

Silk is the name for the pistillate flowers, which emerge from the husk.

The fruit of the sweet corn plant is the corn kernel, a type of fruit called a caryopsis.

The ear is a collection of kernels on the cob.

Because corn is a monocot, there is always an even number of rows of kernels.

The ear is covered by tightly wrapped leaves called the husk.

Sweet corn occurs as a spontaneous mutation in field corn and was grown by several Native American tribes.

The Iroquois gave the first recorded sweet corn (called 'Papoon') to European settlers in 1779.

It soon became a popular food all over.

Another personal favourite, cannot say exactly why...

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)
