014 Universal

Thought I'd have a go at some abstracts this week. My macro lens is now dusted off and attached to my camera. Just got to switch the tripod plate over and I should be good to go.

This is just oil on water - quite pretty no?

013 Jasmin

I'm lucky enough to have some sort of flower in the garden, everyday of the year - this has the advantage of smelling lovely too.

Spent most of the day doing a bit of a tidy up with the girlies. You can notice a difference, but still didn't seem to get as much done as I would have liked. Oh well, there is always next weekend :)

012 Flash

Right today's offering is the other girlie

As the object of this 365 is to help me overcome the fear of the flash, I charged it's batteries and used it. So, here she is, back lit by the sun and flash on camera. I had to stop the lens down to 5.6, but it was still a bit over expsed. Sorted it out in Light room and removed some pylons and wires in Lightroom.

I now some of the sky is blown, but I'd rather that than U/E too much the greenery. How could I have got around that please?

What do you think, am I getting there?

011 TFIF

Because that means is wine time.

I was sat at work watching lovely wispy clouds dissapear over the building opposite, just knowing that it was going to be a spectacular sunset for a change.

I sort of forgot about doing my 365 earlier in the day, so this is really just a last minute snap with. Trying to polish a turd really. But I did use my flash, which I managed to bounce off the ceiling. A bit tricky when you're shooting portrait style, but I worked it out ;)

Herbs

While I was getting the lunch ready, I suddenly realised that it might be too dark this evening to do some street photos in Orihuela, when I take the girls to their ballet lessons.

So, here you have todays offering

009 Eyes

Well, got one of the girlies to model for me and was quite pleased with how this one came out.

But then, I converted it to Black and White, reduced the exposure a touch and ended up with this. Which I think I prefer

So, which do you prefer?

008 Orange Juice

So, yesterday was the first day back to school and today was the first day off sick. A sore throat, so plenty of Orange Juice was the order of the day.
