trying to capture the world…my way

Decorated hands

Image

Its still wedding season for a lot of people so I thought I’d share a photo of a bride’s hands which in typical South Asian and Middle Eastern culture are decorated with Henna.

Blue view
I always try to look at things differently when composing a shot to try and make things more interesting. I like this photo as it gives the view a frame and the colours are brightly contrasted against the dark silhoutte.

This is my dad’s intricately carved wooden Qu’ran stand, which I think is beautiful

Chicken skewers

It’s that time of year where everyone is enjoying the good weather and good food with this being usually epitomised by having a barbeque! These chicken skewers were absolutely delicious and enjoyed all round at one we held at home recently. What do others make of barbeques – love them or hate them?

Golden Hour

I love taking photos at this time of day as the effects achieved always look so magical. In this photo I really like how the water seems to glimmer and draws you eye across to the cliffs. What do others think of taking photos at this time of day and are there any tips that you’d like to share?

And…100…

Yes, this is my 100th post so I thought I’d share some sweets with you (or a picture anyway) to celebrate. Thank you to everyone who has visited my blog and left comments and tips along the way. I hope you will continue to visit and enjoy my photos.

Aubergine flower

This pretty flower belongs to the aubergine plant, also known as eggplant, once the petals fall off the vegetable grows in its place. We have had several from my mum’s garden this summer

Pretty hem

This is the hem from my outfit I wore on Eid. I love the colour combination and detail of the embroidery. Eid al Fitr is the celebration that comes after a month of fasting and I enjoyed the day with my family eating lots of great food and sharing lovely gifts. See my sisters’ blogs Happy Muslim Mama; Harlequin Tea Set and JoJo Jeenius for their accounts of the day
