An attempt at something abstract without any intrinsic meaning, using our lightshade

I have always been inspired by those lovely flower pics with sun behind them. Tried my hand at that during my recent trip to Goa, India, and this was the result. The colours do stir my feminine side!

A request. Just don't leave your group emblems, logos and scores without adding some comments too. Those are what enrich me and help me. Thanks.

Stoat posing briefly for a photocall. (Thanks to Steve for flushing him and Martin for spotting him!)

Fallow bucks having a late altercation. Noticed that some were grazing again and with the weather set to worsen this may be approaching the end of the rut

This week's topic in Flickr Group 'Projekt 52 - 2014' is 'Light and Shade'.

Experimenting with a torch hung from a bedroom lightshade.

The shape of the petals and the camera angle resembles a lightshade. Therefore used that for my inspiration when editing the image.

...having your photo taken by a total stranger! :)

I was taking a pic of this lovely dog, when the Italian owner noticed & complained that he was photo-worthy too! So I took another one of them all. I think it's a lovely shot!

This week's Macro Mondays theme is Hard Light ... we've had some beautiful early Spring days here in the UK so I thought I'd take my shoot outside and use the low sun as my "hard lighting". I just love the structure of the teasels and it really complemented the light and shadow.

Another one I discovered in my boxes. Lovely red and white vacuum formed acrylic, probably 50' or 60's

Still a bit low on inspiration but I liked the ceiling rose/cut out lampshade shade at today's flat.

Nordic light at winter/spring. Long shadows at noon.
