Thank you!

Thanks Mark. It's a lovely spot with the trees arching over the path.

Week 16. Letter B is for Bloom

I'd planned on getting a bird or a butterfly photo this week and then my lovely sister sent me a bouquet for my birthday.

This is playing with the lens baby sweet 80 with an extension tube attached.

Phil S · 23 Apr 2020

The sqaure format works well and plenty of Bs with your blooming birthday bourquet

DowntonMini · 23 Apr 2020

Lots of lovely detail in the centre nice use of DoF.

Thank you. I didn’t think of that... lots of Bs!

I love this one. The green tonal range in the centre is lovely and fab detail.

CliveH · 23 Apr 2020

Happy Birthday, the Lensbaby strikes again, lovely.

Cobra · 23 Apr 2020

Lovely detail Bee and happy ( belated? ) Birthday

Shugpug · 26 Apr 2020

Lovely flower head - the lensbaby/extension tube combo work nicely - the dreamy look really suits this, almost like a digital Holga.

Manxmaid · 27 Apr 2020

Just a little catch up as I'm so behind with commenting at the moment, and I LOVE the daffs in your Flora image - the shallow DOF and composition are so effective to isolate that one bloom. The golden light in your Snapper's Choice image is lovely and the composition leads you through the image, while the close up details in 'B is for Bloom' are fascinating and the lighter areas around the edges bring the eye straight to the centre. The square crop is really effective for that one, too

seaodyssey · 28 Apr 2020

You have captured loads of nice details in the petals, the lensbaby works well to highlight the centre.

Nostromo · 29 Apr 2020

Initial
Nice and sharp in the centre, gradually going oof around the edges. I like the look of it all.

Ooh I'll have to look up Holga though I have heard of them.

I'm so impressed with how you've been catching up on images and comments. Thank you for your kind comments. I didn't really have a good background for the flower so I had to crop in - hence the square. I put it on a white background, but it was too bluey white and didn't look right.

Thanks Pete. I do love this lens for flowers.

Week 17: More than one of something

It's all about the light they say... so I've taken all week to come up with something and then discover the sun coming through the window is not playing nicely. Lots of horrible reflections, but here are my bass guitars, or perhaps it could be more than one pickup? I now see they are in need of some TLC

Something else to do during this lockdown.

Ignore the CDs in the bottom corner, but feel free to admire the lovely wood... wish I could remember what it is.

Nostromo · 29 Apr 2020

The light looks pretty good to me.
I like the wood grain and the pov. Good processing too.

Ah thank you for being kind. I need to make more effort earlier in the week I think so I can experiment more.

I look forward to seeing your shots... will you develop the film yourself? A whole other world....

DowntonMini · 30 Apr 2020

Very nice detail in the grain. I like the processing you've done to it.

Thanks Allan. (Wish I’d removed the CDs [emoji849])

HelenC · 30 Apr 2020

Lovely composition and DoF. The grain really shows well in your processing.

Cobra · 30 Apr 2020

Ah now I see what you mean Bee

Lots of lovely detail in there

LC2 · 30 Apr 2020

Not sure why you feel you should have removed the CDs, the background gives context and CDs make sense in a music context.
I love the warm light you've caught and also how the grain leads your eye through the shot.

Darkslinger · 1 May 2020

Really nice image and the warm tones enhance the vibe...
You could re-post this image for this week;s challenge!

Developing the film's the easy bit! Getting it on to the reel on the other hand can be challenging...

I really like your bass shot - the light is beautiful and had your not pointed out the CDsi wouldn't have noticed them. The grain is also stunningly beautiful!

Cloudforest · 1 May 2020

Lovely lighting, processing and composition. I like it a lot.

-Oy- · 1 May 2020

I like that - nice light and nice bass

Leebert · 1 May 2020

Beautiful image for your Initial shot. I love the way the focus falls off away from the centre - it beautifully frames it. :clap:

More than one... Wow! Lovely light and subject. I am a sucker for a beautiful bass guitar. I really should start playing (practising) again!

Thanks Lee - you need a backup

I don't think I've played since I last gigged, last June

but I have gone back to playing my acoustic in lockdown.

Thanks. I am a fan of the natural finish. I've never developed my own film, other than in a science lab, but I do remember losing whole reels of film when not getting them loaded properly

Well it will be sort of more of the same... and thanks

Thanks Tim. It is a bit of a messy room... as you will see for my music shot..

Yes, I'm lucky to have more than one

Week 18 - Music

My plan had been to get the shot of the cymbal and then I had this idea.... my husband reckons it's too abstruse ... I've learnt a new word today. Actually he said no-one would get it. I can post another that explains it, if you think I should. It's almost straight out of camera.

-Oy- · 5 May 2020

I love it - no explanation needed - keep the mystery - very abtruse for sure

CliveH · 5 May 2020

More than one they look very nice and that's a nice composition.
Music nice it a polished cymbal vibrating after being hit?

Leebert · 5 May 2020

Both excellent shots for Music. The first one looks like the reflection of a mirror / crystal lampshade of some sort. It shows off the record / CD collection, guitars, amp, keyboard and maybe some sheet music nicely.
The second image has great timing and the perfect shutter speed to capture the drumstick in mid flight

Shugpug · 6 May 2020

I'm not sure what they're called, but it's this one of the percussion instruments which are strings of "beads" around a textured cylinder?

I love your cymbal shot - incredible energy and perfect timing on the drumstick strike.

LC2 · 6 May 2020

The cymbal shot for me, of the two, for it's simplicity really.
it works really well standing out from the black background.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of abstract Bee, I quite like it
