Two More Lovelies

I can't get enough images of tulips.  This year the tulips are gorgeous.   I am hooked.

We're Back From Pennsylvania

The trip although stressful, allowed time to do some shooting--not much, but some.

Yesterday In Town--A Photo Bonanza

What a day! In town, color was bursting out everywhere...Spring is here.

RED TULIPS IN TOWN

After running some errands, we went to get Gyros for dinner. Outside the takeout door sat this potted plant. With some alterations, this could look like an oil painting. I love it when images show up.

Spring and tulips go together. HAPPY SPRING!

Fine Tuning

Reshot tulips (again). Almost the way I want them. Will save them as a monochrome for Monchrome Weekly on Saturday.

Tulips Reshot

Time to return to serious shooting. Redid the Tulip shoot today and the image below is the result. It could use a little more tweaking, but it looks more like my style now. Yesterday I used a programmed mode on my camera and was not happy with the results.

Lesson: When at first you don't succeed, do it again.

HOWEVER...

Guess what we are getting in the South. Here it is...my first attempt using camcorder (will work to improve quality). Click on Arrow below to Play my pixelated snow storm.

Planning for Simple Images

This afternoon was spent running errands and then, after the boring "have-to-do" chores; to visit my favorite resale shop and the grocery store. Both places are a plethora of artistic materials. A covered, pewter pitcher from the Netherlands caught my eye at the resale shop. Snow peas, peaches, pears, plums, grapes, lemons and some veggies filled the grocery cart.

It is time, once again, to envision Renaissance settings and proceed. A variety of classical images dance in my head. Next, I look forward to sewing a broad-brimmed white cap for my model. A dear friend will sit for some of the shots. Her portrait will be filled with potatoes, breads, copper pots, tulips and poppies. The light will be natural, or candlelight.

It is, as another friend reminds me, "time to work the magic." I can hardly wait.
