Blooming heck




It’s been a good week.

Frustrating in parts, another trip to London and the weather was fantastic, but I didn’t have my camera…completely contracting my own advice about always carrying one!

The bank holiday weekend was a bit of a washout – literally! But I went out and set myself the challenge of only using my 50-150mm lens...I’ve become really reliant on my walkabout 14-42mm lens and fancied changing my perspective. The summer flowers are finally out around the river so I got some reasonable shots of the various blooms.

One of my New Year photographic resolutions was to take more close-up photographs, and I’m amazed at how much stuff we take for granted, especially flowers. As a typically insensitive male, I tend to miss these little photographic nuggets, always looking for the landscape rather than detail. The overcast, rainy conditions actually seemed to make it easier!

You can view all the photos on the Picasa site.

In other news, I’ve had some brilliant feedback on a couple of my Fuerteventura pictures, with the possibility of some of the shots getting published! Which is great, my first paid work…the best compliment I’ve had to date.
