After the Wave

If you have never been to London and wondered what its like in a pod from the Eye, well here you are, inside one of the pods.

Busy Sky to Fire in Sky

Busy Sky to Fire in Sky with just a tweak of a button.
This was done in PSE2 by just tweaking the colour - These photos have been posted before, but thought I would show what can be done with just a tweak of a button. This fire in the sky gave me the thought of The World under attack and on fire.Its amazing what a little colour can put ideas in ones head.

Dont forget to visit my Cream of the Crop Blog - on my side bar and see whats new.

Rain n Frost

Taking you back a few months here, when we had Rain and Frost in different degrees. altho, I dont like rain and frost, they make for good photography.

Dont forget to check out my Cream of the Crop blog, as Ive added my next post - Hidden Beauty.

A Field Day with Poppies

DW and I spent a few hours at Naturescape - Wild flower farm at Langar -(see Naturescape on the side bar of my blog) we went to photograph the Poppies, we were a little early as most of the poppies were still in bud - but we certainly had a poppy day shoot, here are a few of our captures. The wind was blowing the few poppies around, they were swaying gently to and fro. --- dont forget to click and enlarge.

Hope you enjoy looking at these and to my little exercise with one of the photos that was a lost shot--or was it?

Above is the crap shot, but never throw away, keep and one day - you will find a use for it as you can see below.
You will like or dislike, but I will explain how I got to this copy.

PSE6 - 1st I gave this photo a make-over with chalk and charcoal, then I gave it a cover with Glowing edges, Lastly I played with colour-brightness - shadow and lastly with contrast, this is the result, hope you enjoy my Artistic endever of a photo that was tut(as Lord Sugar would say). Enjoy.

Lunch Time

I sat for around an hour watching this Seagull banging at this Limpet, then at last he made it, and enjoyed his lunch.

Afternoon shoot

Friday 27-05-11 afternoon shoot in our garden - We have a couple of Beaded Iris blooming in our garden at the moment, so after a rain shower as the sun came out to shine - I went out with camera for a few shots.-Just love this colourdeep purple.

Here's another in bud, about to burst out and to give us another beauty to behold the eye.

Here's a macro shot of this beauty - DW said it looks like a runway for a bee - which is on the mark - fore- as I went out there was a bee inside, but I was'nt quick enuff as the bee flew just as I put camera to eye, got the shot, but alas - the bee was blurred, still I think I did pretty well with these few shots.
