Today has been so much better than yesterday that I’ve actually had the energy to take, sort and post photos to Flickr, and get a blog post up. Go me! Flowers (and some bracken) on a black background. Produced by putting black card behind the flowers, angling it so the background is as dark as possible (mostly cloudy day helped), and then tweaking the brightness and contrast a bit to make it properly back in post-processing. The tricky part is getting it so the background is dark enough to make editing the editing for impact worthwhile. There are nearly thirty of these, so head on over to Flickr if you’d like to see more.

Photography of flowers in the sky (and a few extra friends)
Yesterday was not a good mental health day. I was in a better frame of mind by late afternoon, so took a bunch of triffid photos with the sky as a backdrop, because they please me. I was pretty exhausted by the time I’d got them sorted and up on Flickr (along with a few other random photos), so I opted to go to bed and do the blog post today. There may be another one later on as today I’ve been experimenting with black backgrounds, and I’ve got some regular triffid shots as more new flowers appeared. May be tomorrow if I’m still tired after sorting them all.
