Sauntering Vaguely Downwards
The UK heatwave has fizzled out (for now, with the current climate who knows what will actually happen), it’s under 20°C, grey and windy. I am a very happy bunny as far as that goes, just feeling generally tired. Being able to sleep without wanting to climb out of my own skin to cool off will probably help. Creatively speaking I got a few photos taken before it rained again, so I’m sharing a few here, the rest are up on Flickr. Photos below, along with crafty bits.
I wanted to do something different than the usual flower photography (mainly due to the fact there’s nothing new blooming just yet), so thought I’d try some flowers on a white background in softer light than the death ball in the sky. I’ve got a soft light cube… somewhere. (It’s the shed. It’s in the shed. It may never be seen again, though the preserving pan turned up at the weekend, so it may not be a lost cause.) As it wasn’t accessible, I decided to do some quick and dirty experimentation. I’ve put what I did below the thumbnails with a picture. Different plugin, the other one seems to have been abandoned and there were some annoying caching issues. No extra photos on Flickr as this was a trial and didn’t produce a whole pile of images.
