Blown away

It doesn't seem a week since I last posted an image for the Beyond Layers course!  I'm cheating a bit as the seed heads weren't actually being blown away but some loose ones had got caught in the seed head.  The set up was taken with window light with white boards to reflect the light using my 60mm macro lens with Kim's 'luminous' texture at multiply 60%.  Hoping to get out if it stops raining to find some bluebell woods this week.

  2. Julia, this is a gorgeous photo! - another gorgeous photo!! You should have a beautiful photo book made of all your fabulous images, or better still, have an exhibition! All prize-winning material.

    Thanks for commenting on my blog - I am glad you found my piece informative. Unless they know somebody with the illness, most people are pretty ignorant about it (I certainly was until circumstances turned me into an expert lol!!) and until the truth about it is more widespread, everybody (sufferers, professionals, media and general public) will go on being the victims of establishment obfuscation and direct misinformation! It's time to set the record straight.

    Hugs,

  3. Another gem of a photo Julia. We all seem to have a love/hate relationship with dandelions - so photogenic, but such a pain in the garden!

  4. Hi Julia, and thanks for your latest comment on my blog - glad you enjoyed my "tutorial"! Actually the step-by-step is as much for my benefit, so I remember how I did things!
