Some subjects work so well when converted to Black & White as these photo’s show – great composition and conversions and yes without the power lines is better..Check It Out

Wouldn’t be my favourite subject for photography but you’ve certainly captured an interesting set of photo’s with this snail – love the colours and markings on the shell..Check It Out

Know exactly how you feel as I’ve been and sort of still there where I don’t even ‘see’ the subject to be able to get the shots I want, I just snap away taking loads of shots and then just press delete button but it will change I’m sure…it better had or perhaps we could set up a section for ‘has beens’ where we post words and no photo’s…[Read more]

After a few years of being a ‘colour girl’ I’ve at last started venturing into mono and one thing I have already learnt is that there are some subjects that seem to really suit conversion to mono as in my opinion this shot does. I also have Silver Efex but at times have found it to overdo the sharpening and at times maybe even the strength of the…[Read more]

Ok I’m there now Andre and wouldn’t I just love to see a scene like that with so many flowers. Do you have a close up of the actual flower that would be good to see?

Hi – I would so love to see these flowers but sadly for me I’m not able to click on the link you have in your post  !!Check It Out

Thanks for the reminder with this beautiful photo of how good the sunsets are over in Cape Town, having the children playing in the waters edge helps to lead the eye into the distance and the strong colours of the sky!!

Lovely set of crocus photo’s @karamen, they certainly have a colourful way of showing us that Spring has arrived at last, been a tough winter for many folk !!Check It Out

I agree these really are such lovely macro shots of flowers @tersha

@bugadrienne – Very creative and excellent macro shots..

@misty-dawns – Dew drops at their best, love all three shots..Check It Out

@bugadrienne – two superb shots, the bougainvillea has a lovely 3d effect and you’ve captured the colour so true!!Check It Out

Well done with this capture and I love the bokeh which sets the birdie off so well – yes for us here in the UK (well in my corner) Spring is certainly showing it’s face!!Check It Out

Aaaah been there and I know these trees !! 🙂

For me I do like the angle you’ve taken the shot from especially as it includes the splash of red from the pot in the distance. I agree that if you can remove the signpost on the lawn that would be good. The trees and the roots are so huge and spread out that they are not easy to shoot to show…[Read more]

We always think of Dandelions as weeds and dig them up but when you see them close up as in this lovely macro shot we see how pretty they are and so bright and colourful – perhaps I’ll have a rethink when I see one growing in the lawn!! 🙂Check It Out

OMW @Susan that must have been so scary and thank goodness you’re ok – what a set of photo’s you managed to take and they really do show us what it was really like – stay safe!!

As some-one that does a lot of macro work I found this an interesting read and it refreshed my mind on a few things that I need to think about when I get back out into the garden with my camera once the weather improves..thanks !!Check It Out

I agree it really is such a lovely colourful photo, a splash of red always adds a good touch to a photo and draws the eye to it..Check It Out

Breaking the rules in this instance has worked so well as you’ve really made sure that the doorway is there bang in the middle and everything else around it is also even on both sides..

Rules are there to be learnt and then allowed to be broken – well in photography of course !! 🙂Check It Out

Love the first photo and the second one is certainly full of lights and the musical fountain display would have been good to watch. Only ever passed through Port Elizabeth but one of these days on a return trip to SA we’ll stop over and explore!!Check It Out

Captures the feel of it so well..Check It Out
