Golden June.JPG
Been over exposing alot of images lately to get the minimalist effect. Its more like Winter here at the moment, roll on June so as I can wear my shades.No treatment on this image except turning the shadow up. just shot under a light on manual f4.5 and 1/6 of a sec, great fun.

Marriage.jpg
Offered to cook Tea on the weekend after afew beers , but never expected to come home to this note after afew more beers, shock horror, with 45 mins to go I rustled up an Italian pasta dish with veg and prawns, on a candlelit frontroom table with Argentine wine but managed to burn the cheesecake whilst defrosting it on the hob.:-)I kept laughing at the note and the name of the degreaser, and I even did the washing up. And the meal was even edible except the burnt metallic taste on the Mandarin cheesecake, which I tried to hide with the double cream.The only shot I could manage today

Spring Silk.JPG
Had torrential rain for the last few days but managed to get out up the mountain to take this, hand held shot whilst lying down. Hadnt done a water shot for ages, found this great spot and was just going into shooting mode when I heard a digger above thus turning the whole stream mucky brown and ruining the colour of the pics and my shoot:-( at least I managed this shot before it turned brown

The Dark Side.jpg
Thought Id get away from Green to Sepia and go to the dark side with this portrait of my son that I took last week with the wide angle lens for extra distortion :-).Used the flash but covered half of it to give the dark side effect. Almost forgot to post a pad today as I thought it was the 18th for some reason:-)

Double take 1.jpg
Had a great walk with my Daughter on A wonderful sunny spring afternoon, we were lolling about in the bluebells taking afew shots, when all of a sudden our cameras were pointing straight at each other, hence the double take. Her comp is better than mine:-) See below. love the way you can see her camera in my D50. See pad rejects for other image.

Mini Weeds.jpg
Another macro test shot, found these tiny flowers in the back lane growing out of a wall, turned the power on the flash right down to give the dark background. the macro kit and the sb600 give some really surprising results, again this is straight from the camera. If anyone knows what these weeds are called please tell me. Nearly missed todays pad, busy in the garden.
