Day 351

Happy New Year!

May you enjoy lots of love and laughter in 2012.

The weather has been so dark and wet today, I wasn't able to get outside for a photo shoot. So I stayed indoors and played with my food instead.

Day 318

Today I spent yet another photo break photographing weeds. This time a couple of dandelions drew my attention: one flower, and one seed head. They reminded me of the Sun and the Moon, and I processed the images with this idea in mind.

Dandelion Sun:



Dandelion Moon:

Here's the dandelion flower again, this time as a colour negative. I like the background in this one. It looks like party streamers.

Day 287

Today I got an offer I couldn't refuse...from a bottle of water.

Day 268

The first two images are a couple more from Wednesday that were originally in my reject pile. On second look I saw something in both of them that I liked. This first one was processed the most. I cropped it, tidied up the background a bit and then used one of Lightroom's cross-processing presets, which I tweaked slightly to bring back some of the blown-out highlights.

I caught this flower below dancing in the wind. I didn't do much processing, apart from some subtle colour adjustments to the magenta and purple channels.

Today's 'official' image is below. Some people can photograph food and make it look good. I'm not one of them -- yet! The weather was miserable today so I didn't get outside for a photo shoot. In desperation, I took a photo of a spiced apple muffin. Oh dear. Never mind. At least it tasted good!
