Natural lighting

I will have to investigate the different ways that I can experiment with lighting toget different effects.

There is of course natural light (which I have best access to) I love being able to capture the suns rays.

I saw a tree branch covered in snow and I thought I would get a shot of the sunlight reflecting off it:

 

  

  

 

Experimenting with light

I think is is fun to experiment with lighting conditions.

I discovered that if I took a picture of a cooker burner then it looked like a blue flower to me. To take advantage of this I cannot use the flash. I think it is interesting to see the different shots are affected by light. I think I will have to experiment with different kinds of light. I like taking shots of the sunlight.

Here are some shots I took of the lamp in my kitchen. I prefer the black and white version.

 

 

More frost shots

I managed to edit a couple more shots from the frosty days.

Here is when the frost was beginning to thaw.

 

 

Thankfully...

The camera seems to be working fine and the pictures look pretty good. I have also noticed that the black spot also does not look so prominent.

I am just relieved that I did not make a big mess of my camera. I still need to give it a proper clean at some point but I know that I will still be able to get shots between now and then. I do not have a back up camera as I cannot find the Olympus at the moment.

Here is a cute shot I got of the younglings today:

 

 

I really must

learn to leave things alone at times.

I decided that it would be a good idea to clean the lens inside the camera. I thought at one point that I had really made a big mess but thank fully I was able to repair what I had done. I think I will have to get a proper kit to properly clean it now.

I am not sure how it has affected the pictures that I take at the moment. I took some pictures of some snowdrops and a really funky looking sun. I think I can see how it has affected the sun but that could also be because I cropped the picture. Only time will tell. But at least the pictures look fine to me at the moment.

Funky looking sun (it is the best sun I have ever seen:

Another frosty day

There was another frosty day. I really took advantage and took over 400 pictures. I know a lot of them will be deleted but I have looked through them and there are a lot of really good shots in there.

The frost lasted longer than yesterday so I was able to get a few shots later on. I got most of the pictures in the morning when I took the younglings to school and nursery and when I was walking back home.

Here are a couple of shots I got of some barbed wire (I love how frost can make something that is sharp appear furry and soft)

 

  

  

 

Frosty day

Today was a nice frosty day. I managed to get some shots before it melted (sadly the frost did not last long) but I am happy with the shots that I did get.

I always find frost to be so beautiful. So delicate and always looking different.
