366 project

On the 12th Dec I decided to start a photo a day project.  As a result of this I am having a lot of fun playing with different techniques and actually working through my list of items I want to photograph.  So I thought I would share with you some tulip photos I took this week (the third one was my daily photo).
Apologies to eveyone as I am still unable to post comments on a number of blogs and I understand others are suffering the same, hopefully blogger sorts it soon. :)

All taken using 90mm lens, natural day light,.

Where is January going?

Having spent most of December and the first few days of January blogging every day I seem to have come to an abrupt stop and I am actually missing it - how sad it that eh?  One day seems to be flowing into another at the mo, so this week I think I need to slow down a little bit and get sorted as to what is happening, what needs to be done and what can wait awhile. 
Slowly I am sorting out photos and taking them off this computer and storing onto an external hard drive.  I have realised that am very bad, in the sense I take photos, upload them, glance at them then forget all about them.  Hence I found this little beauty the other day, I call it a beauty because I have fallen in love with it - is that a bad thing to fall in love with one of your own images?  No I don't think so.

I do remember reading somewhere about some famous photographer who takes photos but never looks at them until a year later, apparently he says you view things differently after a period of time. Maybe I am just following his guide, either way I am enjoying going through them.  It puzzles me that I even keep the rubbish ones, such a waste of hard drive!  At this rate I shall have no excuse to need a new computer, not that I want one, a new monitor would be nice and a bigger desk, but not essential or top of my shopping list.

Signs of Spring

I think we can definitely say spring is here now.  Having spent most of the day out walking coastal paths I have been amazed at all the new growth that has suddenly erupted all over the place.  The blackthorn trees are looking stunning at the moment, they are like a white blanket across the cliffs as well as violets creating a carpet of colour. 

Buds galore,

Back in the garden another of the many tulip bulbs I planted has decided to open up ..... I love it, this really has to be my favourite one so far, hopefully get some more photos of them tomorrow.
