Daily Sarah's 365 31st December 2013 - The End! (CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE ACTUALLY FINISHED!!)

Oh that is wonderful the soft green's really complement the delicate white of the flowers, the focus and DoF are spot on and the composition is great also over all a stunning flower photo :thumbs:
 
That is really really nice. Lovely focus, depth of field and colours.. frame it!
 
Don't know how I missed this yesterday - simple but lovely - really like it.
 
If you do - it might be nice to see what a lower shooting viewpoint looks like and a snow scene would be great I think with all the gravestones snow-topped - might even make a great mono :)
 
Know what you mean, I took this at about waist height as I didn't want the graves to appear small, but yes even lower would be even better, especially with a bit of snow on them. Fingers crossed for the snow they are forecasting for Sunday/Monday & I might post another :)
 
very calm place and so beautiful (looking at the old gravestones - lovely again) Like you say will look lovely with snow - good luck for the snow (though as long it stays down south I'll be happy lol) Great shot Sarah :D
 
The photo of your flower is just gorgeous - love the composition and the delicate pinks in the petals. Such a shame you don't have more wall space because I agree that it would look lovely printed :)

You are right about the Friends Meeting House and you have captured that tranquility really well. I've never seen gravestones in what looks like the back garden of someone's home! :)
 
Does look like a house garden doesn't it :) The place was purpose built as a chapel & this garden fronts onto the road, there are a couple of car parking spaces behind where the tripod is in this shot. Think some of these date back to when the building was built, but there were quakers in town from 1649, but they just met in houses.
I'm finding out quite a bit about the town with this project :)
 
It does look like a lovely peaceful spot. I love the way that the grave stones are all uniform size yet leaning higgledy piggledy.
 
That's Beautiful and i'm now hoping it snows.. as i think reading your comments with Jim that would look lovely:D
 
Nice shot again Sarah, it is a nice old building. Funny, there is one near me too, you have given me another idea!

I will really need all the ideas I can get, back to work on Monday and I'm going to be camera-less for a couple of weeks while I get my back focus issues sorted out so I'm going to struggle.
 
That's going to make it tough for you, have you got a camera phone? What about colleagues, would they join in? Say shots of people working, someone eating lunch? I'm quite lucky I work in a small office and the others I work with will go along with things.
 
Yea, have a camera phone and an old Olympus compact so will have to make do. It will make things more interesting.
 
Yes, it was a bit dull yesterday, have to admit to a bit of NIK photo effects use on that one, using the sunshine filter, it works a treat to lift the light. I thought when I was taking it, this is going to need a bit of work. Plus used a 9 stop filter that seems to add warmth to the detail as well.

Hi Sarah, huge apologies for not seeing more of your images before, but starting to catch up with other threads now. Loving your shots so far, a great self portrait for a Monday morning, the bird with the berry in the beak is just brilliantly captured. Like the night shot in the train station too, I'm a sucker for night shots :D. Now subscribed to your thread so will promise I'll visit more often.
 
Oh - we don't have very many thatched cottages round here and I've never seen a decoration on top like that - really interesting - thanks for sharing!
 
Thanks all, these were on the main roof line & on the gable there was a pheasant, but it didn't look as good as these, They'd also put stuff on the porch as well, but think that was down to the home owner & not the thatcher as they were just wooden animals.
 
I've never seen that on a thatched roof before - brilliantly spotted and a great photo of it as well! :lol:
