Through The Lens Thursday 18/52. Upside Down

  I took this prompt very seriously indeed.  I thought and thought about what I could take for upside down and ended up laying in my back garden with my head upside down and taking a photo of the grass and the white flowers which currently reside there. Let me tell you, it is not easy trying to set camera numbers and settings and look and press buttons while upside down in grass which really needs mowing.  Yes, my grass needs cutting, but the white flowers are all over it and so pretty, I can’t do it (or won’t do it, I will leave judgement up to you!). I suppose I could have made it easier on myself and just taken the photo right way up and flipped it afterwards, but no, I wanted to fully experience the upside down and bugs eye view (if you are an upside down bug) of the world! There were some shots which were a mite more in focus than this one, but I slapped the f stop right …

Through The Lens Thursday #14. Box.

Boxes, boxes, boxes, so many box options! I settled on a jewelry box which is super old and from my Grandma. I love it, the shabby picture on the top and the slot in the side to use as a money box and the bottom which is made from paper (maybe for lost key emergencies!). The book it is sitting on is a copy of National Heritage which I picked up today, it is from 1949 and chock full of paintings and information. Fantastic stuff! Next week’s prompt is ‘Baked’, so I had better get baking – oh, what a shame…! More information on Through the Lens Thursday including a list of prompts can be found here.

Through The Lens Thursday #12. Frown.

  I did wonder what on earth I was going to use for ‘Frown’, then I looked at the super hero and action figures around the house and they are all frowning!  I picked Superman for his very impressive frown though. I have a new camera which is very exciting so these photos are now taken using a Canon 6D and a fixed 50mm lens.  I am really loving the depth of field I can now capture, yay! Here’s hoping Superman is going to cheer up…. For more information about Through The Lens Thursday, go here.  Next week’s prompt is ‘In my Cup’.
