Okay well this morning I felt the urge to get out and finally take some new pics and the first thing that caught my eye was a bunch of dandelions that were starting to break apart.. However I didn’t feel like just taking a plain shot of a dandelion, I felt like doing something a tad more artistic, so today I have a series of three dandelion shots that I have processed in an artistic way to break free of the standard flower macro bounds.. I am open to all feedback because I will only keep shots uploaded that people think are worth being on the sight.. Thanks for having a look! This would have to be the least artistic shot of this morning, as the only real major treatment here was implementing a monochromatic filter and then a sepia filter over the top of that.. As per usual the exposure, contrast and levels were played with to bring the image to what I believed worked best.. / I liked this image as it seemed to “pop” and it looks almost as though the dandelion is lurching forward in an attempt to break free from its flowers. I think that this shot and Season’s End both really captured the moment that the dandelion begins to lose its flowers and disappear from existence.

Surprise the gerbera makes yet another appearance :)

Okay then well for all of those who have seen my other dandelion shots from a recent series, you will know that this is the same shot used in Breaking Through.. This shot is the original, full-colour version and I have decided to upload it as my girlfriend insists that she likes it better than the sepia toned version, so I thought I’d give it a go.. / I hope you like it and please let me know what you think, comments are more than welcome!

This morning I found this spider sleeping on my ‘honey pot’ poppy seed pods and so the next thing I did was get the camera out of course! This photo is 100% natural and untouched.

Another one of my recent images taken at Enniskillen Orchards. / With this image I tried to take a different approach by turning the focus to a small part of the scene rather than taking in the entire landscape through the row of peach trees. I added a very soft layer of sepia to the image to give it a warmer feel. / Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

making a nice white silhouette (instead of th usual black one) is something I wanted to achieve but never found the right subject. When I saw this plant I couldn’t resist a try. here’s the result. Hope you like it =] ... je voulais faire une silhouette blanche depuis un moment (au lieu de la traditionnelle noire) mais ne trouvais jamais le bon sujet. Lorsque j’ai appercu cette plante, je n’ai pu résisté à un essai. voivi le résultat. J’espère que vous aimerez =] http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/framecolor:cherry/framestyle:box20/mattecolor:off%20white/product:framed-print/size:small/view:preview/1504909-2-white-silhouette.jpg http://images-1.redbubble.net/img/art/border:whitewithdetail/product:laminated-print/size:small/view:preview/1504909-2-white-silhouette.jpg

Sunset Ho’okipa Beach Maui Hawai’i These are true colours with no postprocessing. The beautiful pastel colours of this exquisite sunset are created by atmospheric conditions of the Vog from the volcanic activity on the Big Island. Haʻaheo ka ua i nā pali ~ Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs / Ke nihi aʻela i ka nahele ~ As it glided through the trees / E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko ~ Still following ever the bud / Pua ʻāhihi lehua o uka ~ The ʻāhihi lehua of the vale / Hui: Chorus: / Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe ~ Farewell to you, farewell to you / E ke onaona noho i ka lipo ~ The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers ~ One fond embrace, One fond embrace ~ / A hoʻi aʻe au ‘Ere ~ I depart until we meet again. Until we meet again / ʻO ka haliʻa aloha i hiki mai ~ Sweet memories come back to me / Ke hone aʻe nei i ~ Bringing fresh remembrances / Kuʻu manawa Of the past ~ ʻO ʻoe nō kaʻu ipo aloha / Dearest one, yes, you are mine own / A loko e hana nei ~ From you, true love shall never depart / Maopopo kuʻu ʻike i ka nani ~ I have seen and watched your loveliness / Nā pua rose o Maunawili ~ The sweet rose of Maunawili / I laila hiaʻia nā manu ~ And ‘tis there the birds of love dwell / Mikiʻala i ka nani o ka lipo ~ And sip the honey from your lips” Her most famous work, a song written by the last reigning Queen of Hawai’i ~ Queen Lili’uokalani (02 September 1838 – 11 November 1917) Queen Lili’uokalani was the last monarch, the last sovereign queen of the Kingdom of Hawai’i. She was originally named Lydia Liliu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamaka’eha, Lydia Liliuokalani Paki, and also known as Lydia Kamakaʻeha Paki, with the chosen royal name of Liliʻuokalani. Queen Liliʻuokalani was an accomplished author and songwriter. Her book, Hawaiʻi’s Story by Hawaiʻi’s Queen, gave her view of the history of her country and her overthrow and therefore became the first Native Hawaiian female author. Liliʻuokalani was known for her musical talent. Lili’u is said to have played guitar, piano, organ, ‘ukulele and zither. She also sang alto, performing Hawaiian and English sacred and secular music. She would find herself in music. In her memoirs she wrote: “to compose was as natural to me as to breathe. This gift remains a source of the greatest consolation.” She wrote over 165 songs and chants. Some of her best-known musical compositions include the song, “Aloha ʻOe”, “The Queen’s Jubilee”, “He Mele Lahui Hawai’i”, and “Ku’u Pua I Paoakalani” ~ Source: Wikipedia !!
