P52 ~ Week 20 - Mothers

Another week of the P52 project and we finally have soe decent weather here in the UK.

This weeks theme is Mothers and I've gone for a slightly different interpretation of this.

We live on this amazing planet and we get some amazing gifts from mother nature.

Here is the sunset - as my youngest two look on.  Sunsets are truly a gift rom mother nature.  With all the bad weather in the UK I have been waiting for a decent one for quite some time.

A little late getting my post up this week - will try harder for next weeks.

P52 ~ Week 19 - Still Life

So this is really a wow moment,  Its Friday and I'm putting my picture up already.  This is a record!

Still life is this weeks theme.  I must admit that this was quite a challenge this week.  Still life pictures rely a lot on the composition.  This is where I may fall down a little.  I have absolutely no artistic talent at all,  I have a scientific brain so this sort of thing does not come naturally.

Anyway - I had fun today shooting this.  My first still life and my first black and white shoot.  I know people recommend that you shoot in colour and change to monochrome during editing but I am doing this  P52 project photoshop free.  The only edits I will do is the occasional cropping.  However no such editing was required this time.

Hopefully next week I will be just as keen!

P52 ~ Week 18 - Fiesta or Siesta

Nearly didn't make it this week!

This week is the turn of my daughter.  She can sleep anywhere.  When we go out in the car she is usually asleep before we get to the end of the road!
