Floral Friday – Some close ups from Alowyn Gardens

Floral Friday – Experimenting with more flowers from the garden
I’ve been getting out in my garden a lot more and still taking photos using the tripod. I have to say it has been a game changer and don’t think I could imagine doing it […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 5
As I said in week 1 for the challenge this month, this will be my last One Four for this year. I’m still undecided if I will continue next year. It is a lot of […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 4
Normally this would be my last post for the month, but since there is another week in October, I will be posting another one next week. With what I am doing this month, it wasn’t […]
Floral Friday – Taking photos in the morning with strong winds
I feel like I keep going on about this, but boy, has it been windy here. Trying to do any macro work has been impossible. I know I have talked about this before, and last […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 3
Here we are at Week 3, and I have another easy one to show you. I love seeing the blossoms, though I also hate it, as it means summer is coming and I’m not so […]
Floral Friday – Using a tripod to get photos in the wind
My Scilla peruviana is flowering, and I look forward to taking photos of it every year, but this year it has been so much harder because we are getting so much wind. I decided to […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 2
Like I said last week I am kind of taking the easy way out this month while I try to make up my mind about this challenge. I have to admit I was ready to […]
Floral Friday – New blossoms signalling a great start to Spring
I think it is safe to say that spring has sprung. I feel like I keep saying that every time I go out into the garden, I find new plants that have blossomed. It is […]
One Four Challenge – Blossoms on a tree Week 1
This is going to be my last month this year for this challenge. I’m going to take November and December off and probably January as well. I’m still undecided whether to continue doing it, and […]
Floral Friday – More from my garden
Today I have some flowers that I have taken in the garden recently. Some are blooms, some are new, and some are waiting to flower. The first one is one of my favourite flowers, and […]
Floral Friday – Using some new presets on my spring flowers
I’ve already told you how flowers are starting to appear in my garden. I’m loving it. I can see that the plants that die off for winter are starting to reappear, and who knows what […]
Floral Friday – More flowers appearing in the garden
I’m back, I think. The wedding photos are done, at least the bulk of them. I can’t wait for the couple to see them, but that doesn’t happen until Sunday. I feel like it is […]
Floral Friday – Spring is almost here according to my garden
Each day when I go out into my garden, it seems new things are flowering and new growth is coming out of the ground. It is a tense time as I wait to see what […]
Floral Friday – Finding a different way to show my infrared flower images
I just want to apologise for not being around this week. I have had trouble with Photoshop, and when I asked for help, it almost stopped working completely. The ON1 wouldn’t load or open, so […]
Floral Friday – Trying to do the same thing that I did last week
Last week I used one preset from ON1 Photo Raw 2025 to use on my infrared flowers. I wanted to see if it was possible and what you would get. I did use one of […]
Floral Friday – Using the same on each infrared flower photo
I decided to do something very different for Floral Friday this week. It isn’t anything new to use infrared flowers taken with my infrared camera. It is also nothing new to use ON1 Photo Raw […]
Floral Friday – Flowers from past seasons Part 1
Though these flowers are not from that long ago, they were taken back at the start of autumn. There isn’t much in the garden now, but I am thankful that I took lots of photos […]
Floral Friday – Some flowers from last summer
I found a folder of flower photos that I hadn’t done anything with. They were taken last summer, and I guess I had been taking so many that some were just forgotten about. I am […]
Floral Friday – A tribute to my macro photography in 2024
Today I just wanted to do a quick post and show photos that I took last year. I went through every folder of colour images and picked one from each one, and here are the […]
