Purple daisies

These pretty African daisies are growing in our garden at the moment and I love the ombre effect of the petals from a lovely purple to white; they certainly bring an array of colour to the flower beds

This is a photo I took of fir needles that had turned a lovely burnt orange colour last Autumn. I think the vibrancy of colour and the small details of these pine trees really make for an interesting image

Brown lines

I got this composition almost by accident; I was out in my garden with my camera and as I went to pick it up off the garden table I noticed that it was pointed in the direction of the fence which had vertical lines like those of the table.
I really like this image because the lines of the table draw your eye up towards the fence which continues the verticle line. The light falling on the table brings a contrast in colour to that of the fence which helps to convey greater depth. I think the top of the chair also helps to break up the image. I think this is an nice example of how simple lines, colours and light can be used to create a a refreshing composition even with ordinary, day to day objects. I’d love to hear what your thoughts are, what you’d change if anything and if you can give me any tips

I thought I’d try and take some more macro shots as it’s been a while. I quite like this one but it’s not quite as sharp as I would like. I’ll keep trying though and hopefully post some more macros images soon
