Summer flowers on film ...

Doesn't time fly?  I can hardly believe that it has been three months since I last posted on here!  I am sure that you probably haven't noticed either to be perfectly honest!  I am constantly falling in love with film, we have a very big love affair, the film camera and I!  I thought I would share some of the lovely summer flowers that I found around town over the summer months.  They were all taken on a Nikon FM2.

In my new photography course we are looking at photojournalists and I'm getting the bug for street photography!  I didn't think that I could do it, but have learnt that I just need to pop my own personal style on it.  Will show you those shots another time.

    

 

A tale of the ephemeral and ethereal ...

An oasis of poppy calm in a mad rush of writing and making posters (not as exciting as it sounds, if only it could be done in crayon...) for work.

These poppies are from last year.  I haven't seen so many this year and that makes me a little sad.  But on the plus side, I have a load that I haven't even gotten round to looking at from last year.  That is definitely something to look forward to.  There is something pleasing about the colour blocking and overlapping in this image.  I think it captures the essence of poppies, such delicate stems on their own, with their crumpled tissue-like skirts, but together, they are a mighty force.  An entity united in colour and standing strong in their own ethereal splendour.  Ephemeral and yet eternally captured.

Weekend colour ...

Some weekend colour to brighten up the dreary grey of this week.  Where has the sunshine gone?  I don't suppose we could hope for it to last for more than a week or so!  I am secretly hoping for a return, I have some beautiful sun dresses that need to see the light of day!
