Local beach with wind tossed bare tree makes a beaut sculpture against the brilliant blue sky

Fab Felt - amazing hues and woolly texture .....

I reckon this is super cool - I just love the colours and textures of this felted scarf I spotted lurking around in the corner of the room.    Get up close to get those textures and shades and stay away from those shots across the other side of the room :)  She doesn't even know its vanished yet and trust me, it will appear again  - maybe I'll even send her a link :)

It's all flown out the window .....

I was pretty excited when I spotted the photo opportunity here and you can see I was so excited all the advice flew out the window as I grabbed the camera and went for it.  You can see that you need to take some small part of your brain with you when you start learning digital photography and remember that all important thing - LIGHT !  Or in the case of these two photos the uneven light and shadow over part of the artworks.

I did, remember what I was told ( more like drilled into me!) that I needed to switch off my flash to photograph artwork or I'd get a big white circle where the flash shone on the artwork so I did get something right but it's a pity I didn't think of the shadow across the corner of each piece.
My Mantra  is ....................practice, practice, practice
