I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was to pick up my new camera the Olympus pen F! Kid in a sweet shop springs to mind. I opted for the 17mm 1.8 lens over the 40mm although I will add a couple of pros to that list once I’ve got the hangContinue reading “First still life with Olympus Pen F.”

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”

I just love the simplicity of this little pink bell and the texture of the cut glass, soContinue reading “Spring 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”
Parrot tulip still life.
I just love how soft and dreamy this shot came out! It was taken in my garden room in this cool light we’re getting now. I think my depth of field must of been about f3 and my ISO was 400 with a really slow shutter. I can’t wait for the tulips to makeContinue reading “Parrot tulip still life.”
