Very exciting day shooting 118 photos for a new project I’m working on – all will be revealed over the next couple of weeks – but for the meantime here’s a sneak preview!

I’ve been updating my Blipfolio today – lots of abstract photographs, paintings, nature shots and more!
Spent a thoroughly enjoyable hour taking abstract shots with my gorgeous macro lense today.
I was at our lovely local handmade lighting and homewares shop – take a look at Radiance Lighting if you want to see what the wares look like before I put my abstract spin on them!
I took this shot and it occured to me it reminded me of the Eighties and that made me think about going back to school after the summer holidays. But this time around I feel excited!
Today I am doing lots of prep work in advance of the new course and new work projects. Most fun will be sorting through the 1500+ photos I have taken so far this year!
I had intended to take some shots of the beautiful rings in my homegrown beetroot but then I switched to manual focus and was blown away by the colour and texture of this shot. And I’ve had an idea about using these sorts of shots as the basis for paintings somehow. Will be testing this out tomorrow…
Blipfoto really is fantastic – one photo max per day means photo opportunities are on my mind all day every day! Plus you get to see amazing shots from all over the world and find out more about diverse people’s lives. All that and the community is so friendly – always encouraging and positive.
Take a gander at my Blipfoto account and see what you think – hope to catch your shots on there too?!
Today I applied for some MA courses – I suspect I’m under-qualified and of course it is late to be applying I know. But they look fantastic – and if you don’t try then you definitely don’t get! Wish me luck – I have everything crossed…
It was fantastic selling more photos this week – this abstract limited edition and two other prints. Very exciting!
But they look friendly enough right?! A little indoor experimentation today.
