Playing with Light

I mentioned earlier that I would be adding a new element to my blog entitled 'Lessons Learnt'  To that end I thought it would be a good idea if I could think of something that would visually express this idea?  My daughter came up with the visual - 'wise old owl' and between us we set about creating one.

At this point I must say thank you to Monica of Bohemian Shadows for reminding me of an old technique called sgraffito which I used here:

A Photographic - 
No Digital Manipulation Texture:
Here's something that fascinates me in photography, the play of light, the different effects light can produce with just a tilt of the object to be captured. To illustrate the difference I shot the same image in two different lights, the one here was taken indoors with the normal domestic light. 

The second image that excites me the most, was taken on the window ledge in natural light, the artwork tilted just the right amount so that the light hits at an angle and causes the image to look textured.



Keep a Look Out for this Wise Old Owl!

I have a strong connection to owls so this post is truly beautiful to me! Great photography and lighting is so important. Thank you for your kind words on my blog, I am so glad you are enjoying for PEI posts. Today it is the chocolate festival, totally up my foodie alley although the lighting conditions for the dinner were miserable!

Wow, a catering lodge in a lighthouse? Now that's the coolest! Black sand sounds fascinating but what an impact it would have on the water around it. Yes, I will hold on to my trip like a talisman to get me through the winter.

What to Do?

Jamie Ridler asks in Wishcasting Wednesday - How would you like to spend some time? Good question for me at this time of year as I usually embark on some course or other for the winter months ahead, and as usual I'm not sure?  I go through  familiar questions, what do I really love and would like to spend time pursuing?  I've got qualifications in Fine Art and my heart is in photography, graphics, printmaking etc. But I'm torn because I'm also interested in Personal Development and have a yearning to share what I've learned so far with others in some way, especially on-line?  So what do I do? How do  I spend some time doing what I want to do, don't know, not sure but one thing I do know is that I need to spend more time puzzling it out? Or will it just come to me?  Do I spend more time meditating upon these ideas??? For other wishcaster wishes visit Jamie Ridler Studios

Rise

Learn from the Lupin, when rain clouds gather and burst take a bow, then rise. Hiya all, just got back from a small break by the sea, it filled my soul right to the brim!  These beautiful Lupins made a statement to me on my return so I thought I'd share it with all you haiku folks! Have a great weekend, should be back with news about the fox cub soon, seems he's too comfy in the womb!  Or waiting til the rain clouds are banished!
