Gah - really stressful afternoon - glad to be home at last.
More slinky fun - this time with the Lumix. The flash created some interesting shadows.
I experimented with freezing the flowers in different containers before adding them into the larger container for freezing. I can imagine this being an easier way to create compositions with structure and interest. Again color management is my biggest challenge when editing.
'Circles'
I thought that this may be a suitable object for this weeks Macro Mondays theme - 'Circles'.
My husband tells me that it is a fluorescent light starter.
Created for Macro Mondays # Circles
I bought this glass in a second hand market for one euro. It is thick glass, visibly used though not chipped. Similar to some my father had many years ago.
It looks like these Balsam root flowers are all facing outwards from a central point, as if they are protecting the centre. It could be because it is evening and the sun has set.
This hall at Accademia Gallery was especially built for Michelangelo's famous statue of David. The statue was situated outdoors on the Piazza della Signoria for about 300 years. To protect it from further damage it was removed from the square in 1873 and was placed under this impressive cupola.
Happy New Year! Frohes Neues Jahr!
... und wieder geht es rund - Frühling, Sommer, Herbst, Winter ... egal was passiert - die Erde wird sich weiter drehen (bis sie zerstört wird ...)
Wer sich die Zeit nehmen möchte, hier sind ein paar gute Gedanken, wie ich finde: robert-betz.com/mediathek/aktueller-brief/2017/januar-2017/
We are in a deep freeze right now but the sun has been out so might as well take advantage of the sun while stuck indoors and photograph oil and water.

The story behind this photo:
I was walking home on Sunday afternoon when I came across this puddle of water beneath the block opposite to mine. I could see the reflection of my block very clearly in the puddle due to the direction of the light at that particular point in time.
I have always wanted to take a reflection shot and thus I hurried up to grab my camera. My vase of cut flowers was by the doorway and I decided to grab this stalk of Gerbera as well.
I tried out several shots with the Gerbera placed at different positions and shot from multiple angles. Coincidentally, it then started to drizzle and I was finally able to capture this shot of the reflection of my block and the Gerbera in addition to the concentric wavefronts produced by the rain drops on the puddle of water. I named the photo 'Circles of Life' as I hope that this photo is able to subtly represent the life within the housing block community.
The Tomnaverie Stone Cirlce near Tarland, Aberdeenshire, is thought to be about 5000 years old and the stones do form a perfect circle. To give a sense of distance, Lochnagar can be seen in the distance if you're to zoom in and view large.
Andy agreed to be tonights silhouette, luckily it only took a few goes. Thanks to Andy for suggesting to leave the section out at the bottom of the circles to allow the shadow to cut through.
