A very big hello to everyone!!! It’s been a long time since I last posted, in fact, nearly 6 months! I hope everyone is well 🙂 A lot has happened since I was last here, as it would be for everyone. I look forward to catching up with all your posts 🙂 WordPress has had a lot of changes!! This image was taken yesterday early morning, it’s hot here and the cool of the morning was welcome. Glad to be back 🙂
Another quick hello! Having not had much opportunity to take images of late, I saw this in our garden a few weeks ago just as the last rays of the sun for the day were hitting this little flower (unusual for me, I threw the label away last year when I planted it – doh!). A wonderful moment with the background in deep shadow and the low angled light picking up detail of the pollen grains and petal texture 🙂
A brief hello again! The week has been a very sultry and stormy one here, a dramatic end to our official summer. This image was taken in near infrared late on Saturday afternoon as a storm was building – I love the way clouds render in near IR 🙂 🙂 It is also my submission for Monochrome Madness – week 51 (and a special week coming up next week) hosted by the ever hard working Leanne Cole and published tomorrow (AEDT).
I took this image in December – a cloudless day with golden grass (and very harsh light!). I was struck by the simplicity of the scene, the curve of the background and just this tree..sitting on the fence 🙂
Robyn from Captivate Me included me in the B&W Challenge where you post 5 consecutive B&W images and nominate a person to take up the challenge with each post, so this is my Day 2 of 5. In turn, today I am nominating Truel’s Blog. I must stress, this is NOT a have to participate challenge but something that might be fun, but only if you have the time and/or inclination and feel comfortable with it 🙂
Hello again everyone and hope that you are all well!! After an extended and unplanned absence from the blog I am finally posting my first image for 2015 🙂 Taken about 30 minutes after sunrise, the bubbles on the water surface are from a large flock of various water birds I disturbed (accidentally) as I came around the tree line.
Hello again everyone 🙂 I hope everyone is well…Even though I have been absent from the blog, the images keep coming – I have enjoyed the film swap between Infrared Robert and Helen Briggs and it got me thinking about digital ‘in camera’ multiple exposures. The results for me so far have been unpredictable, ranging from the truly terrible to utterly mind boggling. This is one that is getting closer to what I want – a double exposure of grass in the wind. I like the odd colour (I have desaturated this quite a bit) and to me it expresses early summer 🙂
It hasn’t been a good few weeks for taking any new images (but I’m NOT going to go on about the weather 😯 ). This is my image for this weeks Monochrome Madness Challenge which is curated by Leanne Cole. I posted this image in colour last December, but always thought it might work in mono…so here is this beautiful hare – all eyes and ears but now in black and white 🙂
Last image from my recent visit to Pyalong. I’ve enjoyed this series of posts – they are surreal but then so is the landscape. I’m aware they may be becoming a bit ‘samey’ so something different next time….anyhow, this scene struck me as it was so desolate, dead trees both standing and fallen in a tinder box landscape….
This was a funny bird (and it’s mate) that followed us around a reservoir the other week. The Kookaburra is part of the Kingfisher family with it’s name coming from the Wiradjuri language. They have an amazing call – on my first visit here, many years ago, it reminded me of monkeys even though I knew there were no monkeys in Australia, but it was 5 am in a new country – hey?!!
Now it makes me think of rain coming 🙂
