….I took a photo of a dramatic sky…
….and then I turned tail and went home for a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Nothing fresh from the lens today, but be warned, my photo library contains 4,600 pictures, so I’ll never be short of something to slap up on this blog.
Sometimes life sets us challenges that, er, challenge us [where is AI when you need it?] and I promised a friend that I would send her a picture of my hanging teapot. It’s hard to take a photo of a hanging teapot in all its shiny glory, especially when it hangs in a dark and gloomy kitchen. I tried my best using my phone camera, AND my posh camera. The lighting is very poor.
The first one was taken with my iPhone at probably a more interesting angle, and thus better light.
The second pic is a straight on shot with the posh camera. This is because I am more used to positioning my phone at odd angles. I felt a bit precious and formal with the proper camera.
Conclusion: Try to be a bit more relaxed with the posh camera!!
Oh, yes, I do have bunting in my kitchen – my inspiration is the Bake Off tent; it’s been up there since 2020 and needs a wash, plus I’m thinking of replacing it with a string of fairy lights.
The teapot was from a shop in St Ives in 1992 – I doubt the shop is still there.
When is Easter? Whatever, or whenever, I have a classic Easter pic freshly snapped on my iPhone this morning. Yep, the posh, expensive camera is still languishing in a drawer – though I have powered the battery and reset the date, so that’s progress.
I might start using this blog as a daily picture blog. A few years ago I bought a fancy camera and failed to use it. Using the camera on my iPhone is just too easy! But if I committed to taking a photo a day and uploading it to this blog then I might learn how to use the fancy one.
Meanwhile, here is a new collage – yes, taken with my iPhone!
Apologies, this blog will now become a picture library that will support my Blogger blog. If you would like to comment then please feel welcome to do so HERE
Thank you.
My latest collage….
Apologies for my absence, I have been busy with summer and taking photos for the Grand Gardening Competition in October, or sooner??
I have also made a collage, yay!!! I only seem to get into ‘making mode’ if I need to send something for a birthday, or for a calligraphy exchange. I don’t necessarily know the recipient of my calligraphy exchanges – I hope that I never cause offence and the worst I achieve is a quizzical frown. I receive such beautiful post – there is something within me that finds it impossible to reciprocate with a colourful flourish. Ack.
The other day I was pondering my early creative influences, and I came up with Pipkins; I remember my sister saying it was creepy, but I loved that moth-eaten Hare.
Anyhow, my collage!
Ack. Calligraphy is a beautiful art, and then I go and bring it down to my level.
