Rainbow Photography is GO!

Good morning (or evening depending where you are)!! I'd like to announce that Rainbow Photography is up and running!! After lots of mucking around, I'm going to give it a go (in between Nursing!). You won't believe how cheap I am either! So go to my Page Rainbow Photography, click like, and message me! If you like what you see, don't forget to tell your friends to "like" as well- help get a small business off the ground!

Close Encounters

I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs that I loved close up shots. REAL close up shots! Probably because my macro lens was the first decent lens I bought! But in our busy lives, we often miss the beautiful detail of the small things around us. Weeds, insects, even old cracking paint can hide an exquisite beauty, if only we stopped to look.

Least Favourite Photo Subject

I run a group on Flickr in which a challenge is opened daily for the members to take a photo of a certain subject. The challenge is open for 3 days before the group votes. The idea is to not only get us to use our cameras everyday, but to also get us to take photos of subjects we wouldn't normally photograph. We've had topics such as "from your kitchen", "wood", "sweet", "shapes" and "movement". One of our latest subjects was "Your Least Favourite Subject to Photograph", and this was my entry. I vowed to NEVER photograph one of these flower puff weed things. It seems EVERYONE on Flickr has done it, and it is really overdone! But having said that, I actually really liked the way the photo turned out! Didn't win with it though... someone who did a self portrait did! This is when I realised my entry was incorrect... I myself am definitely my least fave subject to photograph. So much so, that I still couldn't bring myself to do it for the challenge!!
