A Bit Odd

I'm so used to getting in close to my photography subjects that taking and putting up a photo like this feels rather strange and uncomfortable.

There was really nothing interesting or exciting for a close-up shot yesterday on my photo walk. I was, however, absolutely excited by the light when I saw the above scene through a fence. I'm not so sure whether this photo does really justice to what I had seen with my eyes, but maybe it's only a matter of getting used to it.

I'm off to link this up to Lisa's Creative Exchange and see what's up there already!

Have a wonderful week!

Basil

I must admit that I don't have green fingers when it comes to herbs... therefore here, quick, a capture of my basil, as long as it still looks green and photogenic in the light that's coming through the kitchen window.

What made today's shooting so extra pleasant was the scent of the basil wafting up to my nose every time I moved it around in the light. Do you love the scent of herbs, too?

In The Kitchen

Just as yesterday I was playing around with the light, today in the kitchen, tackling my bread knife. And somehow it turned out to be a "partially seen" shot again, as well.

Don't worry - I had a whole slice of bread before going about and setting up my tripod. Now I'll get back for a few more bites before attending to that (huge) pile of laundry.

Have a wonderful day!

Photo of the Day

With my photo today I tried to kill two birds with one stone - I was playing around with the light for this shot for Darrah Parker's photography course and I also managed to make it a "partially seen" shot for Justine's January theme. It would have been more than perfect if I could have found a creative approach for Lisa's Creative Exchange, but I think that would be asking too much. ;-)

And now I'll take care of my chapped lips... (did I mention I can't wait for spring to be here...)

Have a wonderful Monday!

Christmas Lights

Sometimes I think that those Christmas lights are here to make up for the short days, to give us something to enjoy during the long nights. For more light enjoyment hop over to the Mortal Muses to see all of today's entries.

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Light, Please

After having completed my Saturday To Do's I suddenly realized that it was already getting rather dark - and I hadn't taken my photo of the day yet! Experiencing something close to a panic attack I grabbed my camera and rushed out... Thanks to that lamp I was spared improvising an indoor shot today.

As I rather like that blue (it's SOCC), I won't post the black and white version I tried for Justine's November in Black and White.

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone and enjoy your weekend.
