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……

Just uploaded new images……..

Trying to be efficient and sorting out new pictures for an upcoming exhibition (details to follow) I have just uploaded new images to my RPS portfolio (http://www.rps.org) so here is a taster of the new World within World series. These are two superimposed images which can confuse the mind! Enjoy……..

Is Photography Art?

With an exhibition coming up I had been thinking about what I produced. Yes, some great macro flowers in the studio; yes, some pretty good land/water scapes; but what was my USP? I have been working with a film maker combining film and images, so thought I why not combine images? So with some experimenting here are the first four. Look carefully as at first sight most people miss some of the content; a clue is in the title! Also, the thumbnails cut off some of the image so click on the image and then again!!

The Sun came out……………

Wow!! a few rays of sunshine got me out with the camera, no studio for a few days! The garden supplies much of my subjects including these. There are more at http://www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover/sets/72157627493812074/

Outdoors and in

With mixed weather this week I have been picking single flowers from the garden, and photographing them in the studio. Also been on a couple of walks in and out of woods and along the river Tamar with the sun spotighting a field and a tower. A mix of straight mast and bendy tree with white daisies below was a nice challenge. Into the woods and the Anti vibration mechanism on the new lens worked well plus for a change I uped the ISO to 500 with hardly any degrdation! More at Flickr
