Water Feature

Although I really like the warmth of the colours in the first picture of this water feature I think it looks better in black and white. How about you?

Reflection

you would be forgiven for thinking this shot was taken at the height of summer but in fact it was taken on a very cold New Years day. The colours are rich and warm and the reflections are beautiful.

A Pick Me Up

I didn't post anything yesterday, I wasn't really in the right frame of mind to choose a picture to share but today I wanted to share something really nice.

Perhaps my favourite flower is the Freesia, I love the different colours, I love to watch as the bunches of tiny buds open up into beautiful blooms and of course the scent is amazing.

I have some at home today and so I set up my camera on a tripod, attached my 100mm macro lens and took a few shots.

I love to get in close and see the detail, like here for example the pollen looks as if the stamen have been dipped in sugar. The colours here are also so rich and warm, there is something about this image that cheers me up. I hope it will brighten your day too.
