Still life, blossom
February is one of my favourite months, winter is making way for Spring, and there is new life blossoming. Yesterday I spent a rather chilly day at Angelsey gardens just outside of Cambridge, despite the drizzle I managed to take a few blossom shots. The smell was amazing- winter honeysuckles and daphneContinue reading "Still life, blossom"
Winter berries.
A pop of red against a winters light always makes for a striking photo. Im not usually a fan of red, but in the depths of winter, when these berries hang like ruby jewels I'm greatful for their statement. Cold natural light, Fuji DSLR, vintage 100mm Nikon lens, ISO 400, shutter 125, f4.
Still life, burst.
Bursts of Spring are emerging throughout the countryside, I love the promise, it's unbreakable, and beautiful. I love taking pictures at this time of year, the light is gorgeous with just a hint of warmth but still further on the cool side, it's sometimes hazy which makes for a real atmospheric shot, and myContinue reading "Still life, burst."
Spring still life.
A very whimsical Spring shot I took last year on my Fuji DSLR with my favourite vintage Nikon lens that I pinched from my dad, yes he does know, ha, I'm always pinching his camera equipment. I just love the simplicity of this little pink bell and the texture of the cut glass, soContinue reading "Spring still life."
Texture, still life

I love the detail of these chains and the colours. Shot with my old Fuji dslr with a vintage 100mm nikon lens, cool daylight, iso-400, shutter 125,Continue reading "Texture, still life"
On the edge of my seat for Olympus pen f.
I am near to falling off my chair waiting for the new Olympus pen f to go on sale! I've been thinking of adding another camera to my collection for a while now, and have previously dismissed csc's, however, the spec that this little beaut comes with has changed my mind, and I just can'tContinue reading "On the edge of my seat for Olympus pen f."
Tulips.
A very simple bunch of tulips for a cheery flat lay shot. Such a happy flower full of the promise of Spring. I can't begin to tell you how excited I get every time I walk around our cottage garden and see new bulbs emerging! It's been a little odd as we had daffsContinue reading "Tulips."
Making hedgerow dye, blackberry dye tutorial.
Blackberry dye is probably the most easiest dye to make, and the results are beautiful! I use a couple of handfuls of blackberries, a cup of salt and cover them with water. In a pan bring them to the boil then turn off the heat, squidge them with a potato masher to getContinue reading "Making hedgerow dye, blackberry dye tutorial."
Floral inspiration and a chamomile tea.
I love really good quality blank paper which I like to naturally stain and dry before working on. I feel it gives my drawings/paintings more depth. Whenever I start any piece I have to accompany my work with a suitable cup of tea, as I'm drawing inspiration from wild flowers at the moment itContinue reading "Floral inspiration and a chamomile tea."
