Weekly Photo Challenge: Perspective

This week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post asks us to look at perspective…

“Photos aren’t objective – they show what we want them to show”

Up close with a Dandelion…

… which was taken out in a field a little further away

A shelter down by the sea

Train speeding past… taken through some railings by the track!

Viewing it up close this Tulip shot could have been taken out in a field somewhere…

… when actually it’s in a vase in my front room!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Selfie

I’m not a fan of the ‘selfie’ but I do like to enter into the spirit of things so have decided to post some ‘selfie’ reflections, neither intended… the first was taken at the Village Green Festival, where my eldest son performed live, singing and playing guitar, in a festival setting for the first time. The photo is a reflection of me through his sunglasses and in the second… I was aiming to take a photo of my Mutley dog in the boot of my car after a long romp over the rolling Dartmoor hills… she (and we) had a wonderful time!

I guess the camera is a part of my heart and  soul so any ‘selfie’ was always going to have the camera in front of my face! 

A reflection of me through my son’s sunglasses… I love the way the photo reflects again through the lens!

Mutley… who is also a reflection of me… she is a part of me.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Layers

For this weeks challenge, Layers I decided to take some photos of things around my home… it’s amazing how many different layers can be found in ordinary everyday stuff!

Layers of magazine pages

Grab a cuppa & sift through the layers of a magazine…

Layers of coasters

Layers of discs

Layers of Post-it notes!

An old shed door & layers of peeling paint!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside…

I had fun with this weeks photo challenge it made me think outside the box! Couldn’t resist this, inside the lens…

Books on the bookshelf inside one of my lenses on the arm of the sofa!

Weekly Photo Challenge: An Unusual POV

This weeks photo challenge had me trawling through my photos trying to find one that fit the ‘unusual point of view’ theme…

Challenge yourself to rethink your ideas about what subjects are appropriate, and then challenge yourself again to find an unusual perspective on your subject.

I came up with this one taken at The Village Green Festival, it’s a reflection of the view my Son was seeing through his sunglasses!

He played his first live gig (guitar & singing) in a festival setting… I was very proud of him!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Focus

The photos below were taken on a beach in Cornwall a few weeks ago.  I was focusing on the texture at the time but I think these go well with this weeks photo challenge theme…

The top of a post in the fence bordering the beach

Same fence… different post!

I love the texture that the elements have etched and carved into the wood over the years

There’s a buzz in the air…!

Every year when I see the first Bee of Spring I get really excited… Summer’s on the way!  After, what seems like the longest Winter ever, I was more happy than ever to see this wonderful busy Bee collecting pollen from the blossom…

I heard the buzz before I saw the bee…

Bumbling about his busy afternoon…

perfect delicate wings…

My first bee of Spring… wonderful!
