Softness

Practising my manual settings today, I can actually manage to change them without consulting the book which is a good job as I have mislaid it again!

I present the boring flower!

Three good things:
1. We have watched & really enjoyed The Worlds Fastest Indian.....what a man!
1. Still some Prosecco in the bottle for tonight!
3. Good old X Factor back last night.....as corny as ever!

Funny how our tastes differ - I love flower shots (you may have noticed!) We also have some leftover white wine for tonight - in fact it's leftover Moroccan fish stew as well which Neil made, so an easy dinner all round.

[Wendy]

Very nice hi-key shot - so much fun experimenting with exposure ant such!
So ... do you remember how you accomplished it ? LOL!

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze I know Hazel & you do such beautiful flower shots, I just feel I have copped out when I do flowers! Comes from living in a field for years! Thank you anyway!

[Pat Knowles]

@farmreporter yes I think I do Wendy but to be honest unless I am doing something that needs fast or slow shutter speed I can't see the point! I am hopeless at the photo challenging thing! Thank you for your comments.

@happypat

I'm making the most of summer flowers- soon there will not be many!!!

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze quite right Hazel..we are having chips & salad & left over chicken from last night so easy meal for us too!

[Newbank Lass]

If I hadn't just eaten a full English for tea you'd be making me hungry!!! It all sounds lovely. It's a lovely summery shot Pat @quietpurplehaze

[Pat Knowles]

@newbank we often have full English for tea...the best time to eat it!

[Newbank Lass]

@happypat I love a full English....or a full Irish Fry is even better!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely delicate image-- love it ! I am afraid I have not really mastered this technique yet -- its usually a happy mistake when mine turn out like this !! And all of you talking about all this wonderful food while I feel the miseries of putting on the pounds after eating too well while on holidays !!

[Hazel]

@newbank

Ooo full English for tea - lovely! I'll put it on the menu for next week!

[Hazel]

I had to look back to see how the conversation about a soft flower shot turned to full English!!!!

[Chris Stapleton]

cool

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze he he Hazel that's what I love about 365!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl never mind Beryl, if you haven't put on any weight on holiday you haven't enjoyed it!! Soon come off when you get back on track!

[Loopy-Lou]

Pretty shot.

[julia]

A lovely hydrangea Pat... pleased you have watched The Worlds fastest Indian" great NZ movie.... We watched a Yorkshire classic Saturday night... "Calendar Girls" brilliant movie...

[Janna E.]

Loove the colour and softness here. Quite enjoyed some X Factor once and again ;).

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro yes one of ours.......very famous here & loads of amateur dramatic groups do it too....the village halls are all agog!

[Phil Howcroft]

very artistic and pastel pat :

[Jane Anderson]

Looks like a painting--very pretty!

[Christine]

Lovely soft shot! Glad you like a bit of X Factor! I say I won't watch but do every year!

[Michael Elliott]

very pretty shot and edit

[Rick Schies]

I like what you did here, very nice and dream like in its effect

[Sue Wilde]

Gorgeously soft

[Babs]

Lovely soft focus shot. I wouldn't know where my manual book is, I just have to guess, or ask David. He usually knows about settings.

[Maggiemae]

Glad you enjoyed the DVD! Some people have seen it 15 times! Its good trying to learn the settings and this flower has soft promise!

[Jennifer]

Very cool! I like the colour and edit too. Know what you mean about flower shots, I try to do as few as possible too ;-)

[Al Bailey]
