I'm using the change of venue and circumstance to do some inner work around how I view things. And that of course means that I'm doing some outer work as well with my camera.
I'm taking the opportunity to look at things in a different way, and the change is most interesting. Macro shots turn decorative objects into something else entirely.
and looking in a different direction or shooting from a new angle can be bemusing.
I wonder, when we come to the other side of all this pandemic and strife, whether the change in viewpoint will give us an appreciation for life, a sense of empathy and love for all living things, along with gratitude for all that this world has to offer. Here's hoping...
Congratulations on your new grand-daughter - what a little cutie :) Enjoy your visit.
ReplyDeleteLove the new perspectives photos. Those stairs are vertiginous! It reminds me of when we gave our toddler a disposable camera (shows how long ago this was as there were no digitals at the time). When the photos arrived we went around the house trying to work out what the photos were of. Having pictures of your house from a much lower angle than you would expect reveals some interesting perspectives. I'm still trying to work out what that photo below the blue leaves is of. Intriguing.
Thanks, Tracy, and that photo below the leaves is of a decorative platter in the B & B where I'm staying. It's in the shape of a many-finned fish, and the portion in the photo is merely a small part. I love your story of the your toddler's camera roll - I can just imagine how strange those photos were! :D Happy week, my friend...xo
DeleteOh Chloe looks ever so sweet surrounded in all the pink. A little ray of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteGreat texture in those photos Win. I am particularly taken with the last one as I delve into another art genre and have been exploring wrought iron in the garden.
Chloe is most definitely a shining ray, Eileen! Ah, I wonder what your garden wrought iron piece(s) will look like...I'm excited to see!
DeleteHi Win, very sweet baby and she looks so comfy. Now I'm loving the new photos but wondered if you've heard of a technique of shooting from the hip? and I don't mean with a gun Lol! It's a technique often used for photographing people as you walk so they don't actually know it's being done and gives a really interesting view and angel though I'm sure you could do it with other subjects too. It's something you need to practice as you're not looking through the view finder so it can be a bit unpredictable until you get the angle right as you're holding the camera just below waist height and then just clicking when you see something interesting but you get great results. Some of the photographs you've shown us have a similar appearance. Thanks for stopping by at mine and have a great weekend, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteHaving a giggle about shooting from the hip, Ang - I've definitely done that with my mouth, but not yet with a camera. I'll have to try that while I'm out and about today just to see what kind of wackiness I can create. Thanks for the tip, and happy weekend, my friend. xo
DeleteChloe is beautiful! Love these photos, macro and from a different angle. In life, we hear so often “focus on the big picture” , looking at these macro shots, it’s totally proof that we can miss the best of something when looking at the big picture. Different angle, we see things definitely in a new perspective. It took me a second or two to figure out the stairs. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Esme - I've long been a fan of macro shots and when John was heavily into photography he taught me a lot about them. I love taking a close look (at everything), knowing there is much to be learned doing that! Thanks for stopping by to comment, my friend.
DeleteI always think positive and I want to believe that we will live in a better world after the virus.
ReplyDeleteChloe is sooooooo cute! And BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! Give her a kiss from me, Win, OK? Kisses to you too, my friend.
I'm with you on the positive thinking, Mia, and kiss delivered! xo
DeleteWhat a lovely little blessing your Chloe is, so sweet...so much love and joy coming your way.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are awesome I love things like this, it even took me a second to figure the stairs out. Seeing things in a new way is so fun.
Many Blessings to you and your family. Hugs Deann
I agree about that little Chloe - she's a huge gift in our lives. And those photos were great fun to jog my viewing. It's a good thing to shake it up a bit, right?! Many thanks for the hugs and blessings, and right back at you! xo
DeleteCongratulations on the birth of Chloe ! I love those close up photos ! Amazing what a different perspective shows ! All the best Win, stay safe ! x
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Corrie - we're so delighted. ;-) Hugs, Win
DeleteAwwww, this popped up on my feed had to rush over to say Congratulations! She's just perfect! Lovely photos too! Best wishes Win to you and your family! xx
