For Crazy Tuesday: "Numbers"

Lensbaby Edge 80 + Macro converters

Deze bloemetjes lagen onder de hortensia na de harde wind.

These flowers were fallen from the hydrangea after the strong wind.

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.

Smile on Saturday

These flowers arrived on my birthday yesterday and I just couldn't wait to take a photo of them. The peonies are blossoming before my eyes and I look forward to taking a macro of the perfect pale pink layers.

I recently bought the heart to put in my garden but I am sure it will feature in many more photos.

Just the presents to wrap and then it's time to finally relax!

WIT: I have a lot of white kitchen stuff, so just arranged it in a flatlay style still life. Not much in post, just tweaked the white a little, for a slightly warmer white. There are an unlimited number of white shades, something I found out when I had my kitchen remodelled. Who knew??

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!

Practicing flat lays this morning with some family treasures and yard sale finds. My husband is totally indulgent and found all of the rusty scissors and knives at a yard sale and bought them last summer as a surprise. I started the set up to fit the knolling category but felt it was just too stiff so I loosened it up, wish I had changed a bit more but I can do it next time. Always a critic but I think it's good to give your work a critical eye and learn for the next time.

Day 155/365:

Oh dear, it's those flowers again. I forgot I'd left them set up from yesterday and surprisingly they weren't all shrivelled so I just faffed with the set up, adding a heart and a bit of lace. It looked okay on the camera but when I finally had time to look on the computer I wasn't happy. More faffing in NiKs with the double exposure preset and it was this or nothing...hence the title.

Smile on Saturday theme: capture the books

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HSoS

Here are a couple given to me from my grandkids. Also I have opened my Mud Pies and other recipes.... a cookbook for dolls.

Day 29/365:

We've just arrived home from a week in Dorset with friends. Our 'January Jolly' had been postponed from last year so it was really nice to get away for a break.

I picked these bits of wood up on our walk along the beach at Kimmeridge Bay yesterday (my friends thought I was mad...you'd think they'd know me by now).

I bought the three larger starfish from a shop in Lulworth Cove. The other starfish and stars were already in my props stash and the little letters are from my craft stash. I added a texture overlay...an image I took of a swimming pool when we were on holiday in Menorca a few years ago.

I hope to start catching up with viewing and comments a little later

These Alstroemeria were in my Mother's day flowers and have lasted really well but are fading fast now.

I couldn't resist buying these roses today, they have a lovely fragrance as well as looking pretty.

I had hoped to get one more photo of these tulips before they dropped their petals but as I moved them they fell apart. Well, I wasn't going to let that get the better of me. Not sure I'll get another photo out of them but never say never. They were on their last legs when I bought them and I've got two pics from them so not complaining.

The tulips again. A busy afternoon looking after our gorgeous baby granddaughter so a rush job before the light went and it starts to rain. I think these tulips are going to feature a lot, even when they start to fade...especially when they start to fade! ;)

Another attempt at knolling with this eclectic mix as I couldn't think what else to take a pic of today. It's a bit early in the month to be stuck for ideas.

A little more flat lay.... Dried my oranges using my Ninja Dehydrator... Great for decorations and photography.

Still not sure if I'm getting the hang of this 'flat lay' but I'm having lots of creative fun trying...

Have a fabulous Thursday...

Looking Close on Friday - Words on glass

This is one of my many vintage bottles, one of the larger bottles I have says Not to be taken so I wrote a little tag saying that. Added textures (my own).

For the "Smile on Saturday" theme: From right above.

Thank you for your visit! I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I've been watching some tutorials by Harold Davis this weekend - trying to get my head around his techniques for lightbox floral photography. I have a long way to go, lol!

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!

Smile on Saturday theme: cotton balls in b&w

My husband had bought these last year and I never had a use for them…. Until now! The small are the regular size. There are 6 different sizes.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HSoS 😊

Oh man, I tried so many different backgrounds, lighting compositions treatments on this theme that I’ve lost track of what might be my best shot. Opted for one of the simplest and cleanest ultimately, but expect some more in future posts!

HMM

knolling

So I'm actually using my craft stash for crafting and not just photography. This is one of many birthday cards I have to make this month. Some months are like that, so many birthdays.

Day 313/365:

I was a bit stumped for ideas today so just grabbed a few photography related bits for a flat lay. Pretty basic but another day done and dusted.

The question is,,,, how do I have so many VWs....???

I ran out of time and light today and ended up using flash. I much prefer to use natural light.

Day 42/365:

Definitely Dreaming - Making

I'm using this term loosely - Making a cup of rosebud tea, making a photograph, making a mess, making me happy.

My flower delivery came today so I couldn't resist using this beautiful rose. I have several photography books...they make great props but I really should read them ;)

Added texture (my own)

Back later to catch up. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

"Art is the flower. Life is the green leaf." - Charles Rennie Mackintosh (Scottish architect, designer, water colourist and artist).

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 8th of November is "creative with leaves", where a simple picture of leaves is not enough for the theme: it has to be creative. Luckily for me I am short of neither leaves, nor creativity, and as soon as I saw the theme, I knew that this was the image I wanted to create.

This leaf flower is made up of different leaves from specimens in my garden. The leaves that make up the outer circle of “petals” come from my Evergreen Alder which grows in my front garden and provides shade to the bay windows at the front of the house. The leaves that make up the inner circle of “petals” comes from a Murraya which grows in my rear garden and is a survivor that has survived fallen trees on it twice. The flower centre is a Nasturtium leaf, the likes of which find their way into my salads, as I like their hot and fresh taste, and the stem is a tendril from the old Wisteria that grows the entire length of one side of my properly in a magnificent hedge. Once I had taken the photograph, I then searched for a quote to accompany it. I was delighted to find that the one above which I chose comes from one of my favourite architects and designers, Scotsman Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It made me smile. I hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!

11/100: 100 Flowers 2020

This fuchsia has been in bud all winter and the flowers have just started to open. I was checking to see if it needed watering and this stem full of beautiful buds and flowers snapped off. I couldn't let it go to waste.

As for the vintage records, we have a local Facebook re-use site where we can advertise things to give to people. These were on there, I was lucky enough to get them for photo props.

I will have to try to get some more pics of the fuchsia before it dies.

A flat-lay of all the beads and charms and lacing to make jewelry. For the Crazy Tuesday’s theme of a container and it’s contents. In a bit I’ll put up the context picture so you can meet Daisy.
