TAW_Dream big!

I had two versions of this picture; shallow and large depth of field.

I prefer this one (shallow) because even though it is actually the stone that is the point of this picture, I loved subverting that and focusing on the flowers instead.

TAW_Embrace imperfection

Inspired by the work of The Dancing Mermaid, and The Artist's Way, Pen and I went out and planted stones we had painted into a local park. Here is the first of a series..

Funny how this photo is a perfect example of the title - of all the piccies I took none of them had the stone in focus!! But here I am posting the picture in the spirit of embracing my imperfections...

Leaves

I love the amazing colours of the leaves when autumn is in full swing. This piccie shows just the beginning of the process and ideally I would go back again and again to follow the progress of this branch.

Lens flare rocks!

Any professional photography manual will tell you to avoid lens flare. But why avoid it when it makes such funky pictures! I love breaking the rules!

The colour of this rose was to die for.

Autumn

I love, love, LOVE this time of year. Autumn and spring are my favourite times of year and the leaves changing colour in autumn is just mesmerising to me.

Paws

This is another one of those where the picture isn't good but I really like the idea of the picture so have recorded it on this blog to remind me to try and do a much better version another time. In this case, it's getting a good picture of some cute little paw prints!

Peekaboo

Some of the things you're taught not to do when studying photography, over/underexposing, lens flare burn out..etc. can actually work quite well as artistic photos I think!!

Clover

When I go out with my camera, I'm always on the lookout for heart shapes.

White flower

I used different aperture settings on each piccie. I like being able to put the differences side by side.

Diamond in the rough

It was such an ugly site, cement cement cement everywhere, but right in the middle here was nature asserting herself.

It's great when you randomly come across grafittied words that aren't offensive!

Cone

Went for a walk and took some piccies on the way. This is the path I was walking on.

Secret doorway

Not much to say about this one except that I love what it represents... a door to a secret garden...

Dandelion

More flowers! Would like a macro lens but my little Pentax doesn't do too badly on close ups.

Buster

What a cutie! Not the best piccie but he was just passing by and his owner was in a rush so I just had to snap away quickly. I would have loved more time to get a really good picture...

Bus stop

Not really sure how to make a photo of a bus stop interesting! I like the angle and the shadows though.

Beach Flower

I do just love taking piccies of flowers. Loving the horizon in the background.
