10/31: October 2022: A month in 31 pictures
My new protoboards arrived today. Thanks to Barbara www.flickr.com/photos/62660212@N03/ for the heads up about the company. I'm really pleased and had to use one straight away. Still coming to terms with still life and flat lays with the iPhone. In some ways it's easier (camera weight and manoeuvrability aside) but I don't feel I have quite so much control. Certainly much less faffing and no bending...I really need easy just now.
Day 37/365:
I bought this card years ago on a trip to the US, intending to frame it but never got round to it. I think I've found the perfect frame for it now but it didn't fit with the photo. Thought it was about time I used it as a prop.
1/31: October, a month in 31 pictures
The years are going by far too quickly, October already!
I thought I'd start with a flat lay featuring a tag I made and my newly acquired vintage secateurs. I recently bought a few vintage props so I expect most of them will feature at some time during the month.
I am having to post and run as I am off to pick my grandson up from preschool shortly. He will stay for dinner so I will be back later to catch up...if I can stay awake ;)
Looking forward to seeing some old faces and new.
Guess what this is, I must admit I do not know myself, and I would love to know!

Ooit kado gekregern, ligt al jaren in mijn atelier, geen idee wat het is, maak mij blij met de oplossing!
……A turn to ’Tabletop photography’ today for my iPhoneaday 365 shot #036. Shot on my phone in Apple RAW & edited in Lightroom. Press Z or 'Pinch Out' to pixel peep. This still life is ‘flat lay’ in natural light (plus a white card on the right) on a black backdrop with Blutac to hold the 1½” cream pots in place - and all for Smile on Saturday which this week has for its theme ‘two same’. No cream (or Milk) was spilt in the taking of this shot. HS😊S, Alan:-)

“Life is like macarons… it’s always full of colour.” – anonymous.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 12th of July is "from right above". The subject of your picture is not important; it can be people, animals, plants, objects... even a part of a village, city, forest, anything really. Now a few months ago, I was inspired to buy some very colourful macarons, and I decided to try photographing them in different ways. For one photograph I laid down some delicate laser cut paper doilies flowers and snowflake patterns that I had been given by a dear friend on a black backing board. I then placed four of the macarons on top of four of either the doily or snowflake shapes. They made such a nice and vibrant contrast that I was very taken by the idea. Of course, this seemingly simple picture took ages, and many unsuccessful attempts, to perfect, as being directly overhead, the macarons were not quite in the centre and had to be adjusted by millimetres. Eventually I succeeded, and this was the result! I do hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Day 306/365:
Guess who left it to the last minute to get a photo. Luckily the new backdrops are kind of star of the show so I grabbed a few bits and kept it simple.

These roses were starting to fade so I picked them to take a few photos.

Day 365/365:
There were so many occasions this year that I really didn't think I was going to make it to the end of the challenge. But here we are and part of me feels a bit sad. I'm sure that feeling won't last long though and I will relish the new found freedom.
I had intended to end on a more spectacular note but lack of time, light and inspiration got the better of me.
I am still very behind with commenting but I am slowly trying to catch up.
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and creative 2023

Smile on Saturday: Begins with S - Star fish and seeds.
The seeds are collected from marigolds in my garden.
I am quite cross with myself as once I realised I had placed the front starfish upside down, the light was gone. So instead of the beautiful textures we have a smoother surface. In defence of my silly mistake, I have been very busy and I had my flu jab this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed for no symptoms, so far just a sore arm.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

100 Flowers 2020
The petals are falling off my chrysanthemums so I thought I'd incorporate them in this autumn flat lay.

Today I made some granola. It isn't my first time making granola but it is my first time making apple and cinnamon granola. The house smelled so good when it was baking. :)
Shared to the "Smile on Saturday" group theme: Begins with G.
Thanks very much for your visit!

Another flat lay today. Lensbaby Velvet 56...because it happened to be on the camera.

For this week's "Smile on Saturday" group theme: Here is the H... (A picture of something - person, animal, plant, object - that begins with the letter H).
Thank you for visiting...have a wonderful day!
Day 310/365:
Another quick flat lay today.
Apologies for not being very active again but after doing pretty well with recovery my back has taken a turn for the worse again. It's hard to sit at the computer for long.
I really appreciate your comments but please don't feel obliged while I can't reciprocate too much just now. I hate to post and run but having got this far I'm just trying to stay in the game. My osteopath assures me that each relapse should have a quicker recovery time so fingers crossed.
My front garden is currently full of cosmos flowers, all different sizes & shades of pink. I decided to use a few of them for a flat lay photo.

Crazy Tuesday - theme of September 1, 2020: Circles
I was really uninspired this time - hence no exuberant bokeh bubbles or similar, but a very simple 'flatlay' ; ))
This is part of a really cute (big) metal box I got from my sister for my birthday last year. It depicts a camera (main box) with a lens that protrudes from the box and which can also be opened.
HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday, everyone
Another still life shot using tulips but this time I played around with adding a texture. I don't usually use textures but want to learn more on how to create more images with them.
Bubblegum Texture by ~sara lisbeth~. Thank you Sara. 💕
Thank you for your visit. I hope everyone had a great day!
There are already some flowers in the garden; snowdrops, crocusses, tiny roses, bergnia, helleborus, vinca, cytisus, winter jasmine and primula, but just very few.

Er zijn al bloeiende bloemen in de tuin, sneeuwklokjes, crocusjes, roosjes, spaanse margrietjes, schoenlappersplant, helleborus, maagdenpalm, brem, winterjasmijn en primula, maar van alles wel héél weinig!
Day 106/365:
April 2022: A month in 30 pictures
I'm finding it increasingly hard to come up with ideas, life is busy and I am struggling to keep up with the 365. I'm not sure I will make it to the end, I have some serious thinking to do.
This started with the photography book, I then added the camera and negatives, then I remembered I had some old family photos I could use, including one of my father in his army uniform.
Day 234/365:
I would love to have participated in Macro Monday this week. As the theme is Star as a tribute to Hans Holt, one of the administrators who has passed away.
Unfortunately because of my back problem I'm unable to use my big camera with macro lens. So another spotlight iPhone shot as my tribute to him. RIP Hans and HMM to all.

Thanks for all you views,faves and comments:-)
Day 362/365:
I realise I should have put a 3 instead of a 2 but I didn't think of the title until it was too late but it is most definitely the countdown to the end of the 365. If not my last then certainly the last for a while. I think my son and daughter-in-law would prefer me not to do another one as the last one I did was the year my grandson was born and this year my granddaughter was born...there seems to be a pattern here and I think their family is complete now. ;)
Lensbaby Trio 28 with Velvet setting. Late in the day as I'm still trying to shake this wretched bug off. So fairly low, artificial light.
The cake inspired me for the photo because my husband and I have been very happy to eat it ... hahahaha ... Actually life is like cake ... when you have it you have to take advantage of it and enjoy it, sometimes there is and others are not.
La torta me inspiro para la foto por que a mi esposo y a mi nos ha echo muy feliz comerla ... jajajaja ... En realidad la vida es como la torta .... cuando la tienes hay que aprovechar y disfrutarla, aveces la hay y otras no.

Sacher Torta.... Yummi Dessert
Well, hello there. I've been a very poor Flickrite lately. I'm trying to get back into the habit of taking photos but I'm a bit out of touch.
Just to give an update: My back is improving, at last, it's been eight months so I am very relieved to be making some progress. I now know what the problem is and I'm on the right medication which should help in the long term. Just as I was getting on my feet (so to speak) I went down with a horrible (non Covid) virus which I am now getting over.
I won't be able to catch up with all your images that I have missed but will start afresh and hope to view and comment over the weekend. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

The letter is to my father from his brother during WWII.
Happy New Year everyone!
I told myself not too long ago that I would never do another 365 (this will be my 4th) and then a few days ago, perhaps against my better judgement, I thought that maybe I would give it a try and if I did, I promised myself there would be absolutely no pressure and just do what I can. If I can't finish it, then that is ok. I already know I will not be posting daily and will be needing to play catch up - look at me already, one day behind in posting - haha! The rules of the project allows this and I am grateful. Life gets busy and I think we all need to go easier on ourselves. I do really enjoy taking and editing photos and the commitment of doing a 365 will push me to keep up with a pastime I enjoy. I plan on working with both my Nikon and my cell phone to take my photos. I enjoy doing macros, still life and flat lay photography so those will be mostly what I will be shooting.
So here I go, saying hello to 2023 and taking it one day at a time.
