It's a joy to keep coming back to your thread Jenny and I really like the two flower images immediately above. I love the composition of the dahlia image too (the one following the rainy web).
I photograph a lot of flowers and I'm always looking for different ways to portray them. Maybe I should turn it into a project for this site.
Have fun learning Lightroom.
You've done well to get any photograph of a wren, Jenny (pun intended!). They're wick little birds.
I like the blackberry picture. Such a simple looking subject that I've never made a good job of photographing.
Blackberries are not particularly easy either but I just concentrated on getting the black one in focus on this occasion.
Now I look closer at it I think that's why the picture works. The one really black berry (I know they're not actually berries) is sharp and stands out because the red ones are more numerous and slightly out of focus. I'll try to remember that!
Some truly incredible photographs. What a wonderful garden you have!
I remember seeing these sorts of shots in your last garden thread... I dread to think how long ago that was - seems like 5 minutes...
Just looking at these beautiful sunrises makes me wonder how it would pull together as a timelapse? The difference in pov from the 1st to last shot make interesting subjects. A short timelapse of sunrise, but adding a slight twist to the zoom with each (5th?) shot to slowly pull out from your zoomed first shot and end with the last would be really cool to see. I could imagine that watching that sky change colour would be quite mesmerising because there are some lovely colours in these photographs.
Either way - enjoying the thread. Keep it up!
these shots were taken hanging out of my bedroom window
Thanks for your comments, Claire. Hope the job is going well.I've just started full time work for the first time in ages so not able to get on here very much at the minute!
This is always my first stop though, I love your photos Jenny, they really do brighten the day I love the latest added.
I'm not sure which of the caterpillar pictures I like best, the leaf really sets its colours off well in both of them.
You're right about the leaves starting to turn, even up here there's still a lot of green to be seen.
Hi Jenny, I've just had a major catch up on your thread, such a variety of shots, many of them absolute stunners. I really like the way you label the flowers and I've put a name to quite a few that I admire but don't know the name. Your photos are a celebration of nature and beauty, a real pleasure to look at.
Thanks for your comments, Claire. Hope the job is going well.
Thanks for your comments, Claire. I love the caterpillar, too. He is such a weird looking thing and really stood out on the purple leaf.Thanks Jenny, yes it's going well, good to be working and earning again!! It just cuts into time I would have spent catching up on the site though and getting out to photograph.
Love the latest additions, the caterpillar is fantastic, so colourful Great capture too of the toad, he looks like a grumpy wee thing LOL. I've tried to get photos of the wagtails too, they never stop moving though and are so small!! We'll keep trying though.
Love the shot of the Coral fungus and the bird's eye view of the Nasturtium.
There's nothing wrong with grey days. That first picture is very atmospheric.
I bet if you go looking you'll find plenty of fungi to photograph. There are lots springing up around here at the moment.
I wish my photos were as good as your latest ones when I'm struggling, Jenny. I particularly like the second London Plane leaf and the ferns.
Beautiful Autumn pictures Jenny. The dahlias provide a much needed source of pollen and nectar for the bees at this time of year.
