Monique and I took our cameras outside this week.
I chose a macroshot of a Dryandra flower (Banksia sessilis), of which there are many at Lake Claremont at the moment. While I’m loving learning more about photography, I’m also enjoying getting up close and personal with nature, and noticing these details I wouldn’t otherwise have seen.
Monique chose her photo of a Macrozamia leaf for the sense of movement in the picture, and its Impressionist feel. I agree—she’s captured both!
*Once a week, Monique Mulligan and I team up to share our favourite photos on our websites. It’s a diversion from writing, and a way of stretching ourselves creatively.
Louise, Your midweek moments not only provide a respite from writing for you they also bring me a moment of quiet in an otherwise hectic day. Thanks.
That’s so nice to hear, Penny. I’m really enjoying it, too. We started it because we thought it would take less time than writing a blog post—or should I say, that’s why I started it—but it’s taking more time, mainly because I want to do it well.
Beautiful photos Louise…
Thanks for visiting, Kim, and I’m glad you like them!
These are beautiful, Louise – both of them would work really well as large photo canvases too 🙂
Thank you, Helen! I’d love to enlarge a photo and make an art work out of it—the trouble is, which one?
Yes, that’s so true – I have so many I want to do! I’ve done two already – a photo of my grandparents from the 1950s and a shot of the ferry near our old home in Australia – but we already have a lot of images on our walls so I’m running out of space 🙂 They make nice gifts too, though…
