Illuminate me

Phew - it's the hardest week ever for inspiration! There was even a bit of sun today so no excuses. I went into Selwyn College and took some lovely dried seed heads but there's something wrong with each of them (dodgy focus mostly). I want to get some cool shots with a bit of quirkiness or a beautiful misty landscape but there is just nothing doing. I have these lillies on a shelf in the living room next to a lamp. They are very beautiful at the moment so they are filling a gap. There is an old map of Barbados on the shelf behind - I'd like to be transported there with my camera...
Love the colours and angle you took this at :)

The black parts of the flower make for a very elegant composition. I'd love to see your shots of Barbados ;)!

great lighting and focus - and those elegant stamens are making a wonderful statement

Lovely shades of sepia here & I love the relief of those stamens against the old map. This weather certainly brings out the inventiveness in us all ! Last year there was snow on the ground in another eleven days time !

absolutely adore the lighting on this Judith - fabulous for a no inspiration shot! Barbados....that sounds liek you need a visa, love to join you but ya know...! Love your story about your conference - you'll be allowed in as you're ATTENDING not HOSTING!! hope you're staying somewhere interesting - it might kickstart your mojo (not that I think it needs kick starting...!) a change is as good as a rest you know!

@sparkle It's the attendees that are supposed to be experts :0( !! Oh well - they'll be earning their money with this one!!

@judithg LOL - well you know, all it takes to be an expert is the ability to B/S...use long words and exude confidence and nobody will be any the wiser!!

You have unique perspective on everyday items! Everything works in this...the lighting, the tones, the contrast, DOF.....just beautiful.
