Storm Force Winds in Drakewalls!!
All this wind means the flowers are damaged and waterlogged so getting them to photograph has not been easy. My xmas lights from China arrived this week, so I can now add back bokeh (out of focus bits) without flooding the studio (the wet way involves spray guns, angled flash guns and a lot of good luck!), and here are the first trials – some with a Chive head and some with a fallen Foxglove – I must wash my hands – the digitalis won’t help!!
Bluebells and others
After cat sitting mushrooms come local bluebells. We have the two sorts here the fuller larger invaders and the more delicate indigenous species. The church on the hill is Brentor. I have photos for sale at http://www.tamarvalleyphotos.co.uk
From Daffofils to Tulips!!
Several unusual daffodils created by using coloured flash, then a few more and some tulips from the studio!
Daffodils – nearly at the end!
Here are a few more, we went out today and many are over. The bluebells are coming out so that should be fun. Todays photos will appear soon!
More Daffs
As the daffodils come out I am trying to get different varieties, also playing with backgrounds. Also tried the moon, but I think I over exposed them!
Spring Flowers
The daffodils are coming out and bunches are for sale at roadside stalls so I have had an abundant supply!! I have a large bowl of bulbs in the garden away from the slugs and snails which I tend carefully every year – well I water it occasionly – and that is full of crocii. So with such a beautiful day on Sunday I took the camera outside for its spring outing!! I then cut one flower for the studio……
That is January dealt with!
Not sure what happened, there I was clearing the head on the 1st of Jan and it does an Alice and turns into February…..
Anyway a new year, lots of product photography – Textiles, upholstery and wood working tools this last week. as well as fun in and, very occassionaly, out of the studio!
