The past week in the Pacific NW has been sunny...and believe me, in the middle of winter, this doesn't happen much here. It's been teasing everyone into thinking that spring is just around the corner...there are tiny buds on the lilac bush and green shoots in the garden.
With so much sun, experimenting with photography is much easier since there is an abundance of natural light. As I have mentioned, I am participating in Kim Klassen's class, Beyond Layers...its all year long and is essentially a creativity class...melding photography with writing...with inspiration...with artistic vision. Even though I don't have a DSLR camera but rather a point-n-shoot, I think I do ok...but I can be better...especially if I learn to take my camera off AUTO and shoot in MANUAL.
With help from a cart of spring bulbs that overturned at Lowes (and thus were only 50 cents a pot!) I had my own spring fun, shooting a variety of still life images...
When I was done experimenting, I had fresh flowers for the house...the daffodils are in full bloom...
the tulips will be a little later...but I can wait...I know that spring is still six weeks away...
