Floral Friday – Groups with the Lensbaby
I went out the other morning to take photos of the yellow flower below with the Lensbaby Velvet 56 on my Fujifilm X-T3. I purchased three of these flowers last autumn, and they went dormant […]
Looking back at Rippon Lea
It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since I was last at Rippon Lea. It is a beautiful place to visit and I think I need to go back soon. Rippon […]
Floral Friday – Some of the first Lensbaby photos
These are images from 2016 and they are among some of the first images I ever took with Lensbaby lenses. I didn’t have the velvet, but had some other ones as well. So I’m not […]
Experimenting with some pinholes
Well, only one really. Have you ever tried pinhole photography? I first played around with it over 20 years ago when I was doing a course on photography. The place I was doing the course […]

Frangipanis on a Friday

This is a post I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I have been a bit distracted though as since I got better I’ve been trying to spend as much time out in the […]
Monochrome Madness – More flowers
So from the photos I took last week I thought I might try a couple in monochrome. I’m still uncertain about the whole flowers and monochrome, but I think it is something I need to […]
Floral Friday – Flowers from my garden
This morning I went out to the garden with my Fujifilm macro lens to see what I could photograph. I didn’t think I had that many flowers out there. Most of my bulbs flowered ages […]
