Light in photography and painting.

We’re going for the pictures speak a hundred words here. I love playing with a camera and light.

Exhibit A: Dewdrops. Best taken from the floor, you may end up with wet feet/ knees.

Exhibit B: sunset. This a blurred version with silhouettes – I think I was playing with a review camera for this one.

Exhibit C: Yes, another Kentwell sunset. This may be my all time favourite sunset shot, taken with my trusty Canon Powershot.

Exhibit D: sunlight (probably earlyish morning looking at the direction) on waves. Yum.

Exhibit E: something a little different, from when I was working quite hard on my painting. I probably should get back to that.

To finish, exhibit F: daisy with added light.

I regularly aim my camera/ phone at the sun despite all advice to the contrary (a little more of that rebellion there!) I think the results are worth it.

(If you like my photography/ art work, feel free to check me out on redbubble And if there’s something you like that I don’t have listed there, let me know and I’ll list it.)

    I love all of them! Capturing the interplay of light on our surroundings is one of my favourite things.

    My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!|

    Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!|

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Many thanks|
