Bright and breezy

These are some photographs that i took a wile ago i like them because they are a lot brighter than my more resent macro photographs.

Glossop

Had a lovely day in glossop and was very pleased that my kite flew!! But i would like to put some more and longer fabric on it, because from a long way away it looks a bit puny.

Me, looking like a lunatic, attempting to fly my kite with absolutely no wind.

I had a dream last night that a massive bird, that looked a lot like my kite was trying to kill me. I wonder what that means?

Orange bits

I dont know what i am doing with these dried out bits of orange but i like them.

Whatever i can find

I am making a conscious effort to find interesting things wherever i go to photograph close up.

Fleshy

A few more abstract macro photographs.

Painting dad

I have almost finished painting my dad and i noticed how different the image looks when seen from different angles.

Paula and Mike

I decided i would like to do some painting and thought that painting my parents would be a nice idea, because i am close to them and i feel that the actual act of painting them is kind of based on my love and respect for them. I have almost finished my dads portrait. and will soon start on my mums. I usually prefer more 'abstract' paintings but it has turned looking more realistic, though i still think, there is a particular quality to a painting, that makes it different to the photograph. Though i did try to enhance the colours it is still quite subtle and i may try it again a lot more abstract!
