Two Pots, 2 Flowers from the garden and a Daffodil!

First Garden Tulip

First Garden Tulip

But, you will only see one today! With a studio shoot of 412 and some of them cracking shots as Wallace would have said (that is Wallace and Gromet not Mrs Wallace!) it will take a while to reduce the number to a manageable size! New back lighting has been fun and very effective! Anyway to wet your appetite – or drive you away completely…………………

Playing with light!

I tried a few outdoor flowers but the wind and the slugs were too much! So, back in the studio, a new cut out for the snoot and some nice local daffodils and crocus and off I went! More at http://www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover in the new Spring 2011 ptIII set. And my photos are for sale!!

Cold Snap !

Yesterday I had an early start with a morning meeting in Saltash, so I go to start the car and it was iced up, doors frozen shut and these amazing patterns all over which took me right back to my childhood and the ice patterns on the windows, cold lino and cold water to wash in – probably where I learnt that washing is not good for you! Anyway, the big camera was up in the studio wired into the flashes and remote trigger so I took out the point and shoot G9 and got these! I think this is where having a black car pays off!

Spring again!

Whilst the weather stays bright I seem to be in the studio – somewhat perverse you may think! Anyway, some of the specie flowers have wilted, but the crocus and a nice hyacinth given to us are still going strong, so they were shot! Also, in the garden was a log that had been growing fungi for a while seem a suitable subject! On a technical note the snoot has been oin action and so has the mister, I am still not sure about misting flowers…… Next will be daffodils, there is a bunch starting to open on the studio table at this very moment (of course if you read this later it will not be true!). Of course more pictures are available at Flickr.com in my Spring 2011 pt II set (direct link)

Spring – Sprung – Sprong

Or so it seems, still cold, wet, frosty …… but the Snowdrops are out! Also, the nursery had potted specie iris and crocus so I could not resist!! So armed with spray gun, camera, flash and snoot it was time to spend a happy hour or so in the studio. Trying to continue on from last spring of lighting the flowers from the inside but very hard with such spikey plants!! Lots more at Flickr.com
