Thanks Jake :)

Well, the spring must be on it's way as today I saw two swallows and some poppies - we are having serious March winds and April showers all mixed up together at the moment so it doesn't really feel like it. Started to get chillier again today so I guess that'll be me chopping kindling this afternoon - oh the joys :D

Well, it's grey and drizzle now, can see my closest mountains but not the distant ones :( Luckily I've got enough kindling to light the fire now - just got to bring wet logs in ;)
 
some gorgeous shots since I was last in here Sarah :) Love the cat and the garden dyptych and the cake (mmmm making me think that one needs doing when I get a day off ) and love those poppies - gorgeous shot :clap:

i nearly missed these - they do seem quite early this year - not sure if they are or not. Maybe it's just the cold ;)

Hello stranger - nice to see you back :D and thank you very much :)
 
The dof and tones in the photo are great! I almost wish the oof poppies weren't there but they certainly don't ruin the photo :D
 
I think I would have liked to see all of a slice in the shot! Do you grow them in your garden? No matter what country it says they're from, getting fruit abroad is always much nicer!
 
For a filler it's a good en hun.....the blue background works great against the orange, composition pretty good, as Sarah said too, only thing needed for me is the slice at the back propped up :)

Like the organge against blue, might have looked nice if you'd propped the slice at the back up slightly.

Didn't think of that - but I was in a hurry and just checked for in focus rather than anything else :lol:

I'll try it with lemons next time as the blue and yellow should make for a nicer contrast :) And I will arrange them in a far more esthetically pleasing manner ;)
 
Agree with above colours work well together! Focus is lovely too!... Look forward to artsy fartsy arranged lemons :lol: :lol:
 
So funny, the thread title has me singing that ad in my head...

The poppies are pretty, nice DOF. How lovely to grow your own oranges! I like when 365s have little bits of day to day life in them as well as being photographic exercises, and I love how your thread is giving us a window into somewhere different. :D

And that's going back a fair few years :) I really ought to get out and about for you all didn't I :lol:

Took yesterday's shot fairly early on, but it's still on the camera - I just ran out of steam last night :lol: So it's a little catch up later today :thumbs:
 
small ones are juicier sarah... but you could have done something more ... zazzy?? had the exposed side front and centre with a juice dripping from it.. juice could have been water for all we, the observer, knew... we, the observer, demand a reshoot with dripping... :naughty: :exit:

And on today's I thought I really did ought to get out and about a bit and share some of my local with you all - so this is our village church - bog ugly to my mind - but hey ho ;)

I mean, look at that door, so inviting :lol: Next week I will go further afield and bring you more of what we have around and about :) I'm actually hoping to get down to the beach, which is my place for recharging my batteries and chilling out for a bit ;) Only in the winter months though, I don't like sharing it with the hoi poli ;)
 
Are you ok?.....


The church itself is ok, I like the stonework and the fact is different from ours!... BUT......

That door is a prison door lol!
 
I'm fine, just a long day yesterday and I could not be harrised to do any PP or uploading ;)

It's incredible no?

There are some beautiful old churches in "town" with amazing studded wooden doors - I'll try to get in there and take some shots soon - I could be an ambassador for my area ;)
 
sarah.. if only you'd stepped back a few feet... so you could have gotten the majesty of the church.. there appears to be a circular stone-age around its base..go back there and reshoot... its not too late.. you can do.. it now? ... no?? ... oh



:D

I really like the Poppy photo...captured them at all different stages there! Nice colours.

I really like the contrasting colours in the orange shot as well, focus is good and you'll sort out the 'bit at the back' with your lemons! :D

The stonework on the church walls is really nice and I like the shape of it, it's just a shame that they clearly don't want to be encouraging anyone to go in! :lol: And that wonderful blue sky again.....taunting me!
 
I think I prefer your original closer view you can see the stonework so much better
 
Excellent! I like bubble shots, was you holding it?
