Have not Posted in a while, so....... an eclectic mix!

[Astro]

I havn't posted anything in quite a while, been distracted by a number of other projects which are still taking a lot of my time... lockdown seems to have made little difference, though I am missing getting out with the camera a little.

Added to that I've been a bit lazy, deciding on a new method to continue uploading images since TinyPic disappeared .

Still, the images below are all from the last two weeks, with the exception of the street art which I noticed on a visit up to my brother on Merseyside last January...

#1 Playing around with a few 'Found' objects

#2 Street Art, New Brighton, Wirral, UK



#3 Aphid.... in my garden... I photograph a fair bit of insect macro in the season, but never an Aphid ... til
now.. thats lockdown for you!





#4 Apple Blossom, Blown off the tree at the bottom of the garden, so ... before it went in the garden waste




C&C welcome

A nice collection with variety. Is in the last image, the stem seen below having a natural bend from the flower bunch or did you add that separately?

Hi Nandakamur,

Is in the last image, the stem seen below having a natural bend from the flower bunch or did you add that separately?

The blossom had fallen fom the tree in high winds the previous day, the stem is still attached. It was already showing some signs of wilt, so apart from placing at what seemed a pleasant angle nothing further was to the plant. I did create the black matte background to focus just on the blossom.

Eclectic mix indeed! I like the apple blossom best though.

Very nice. The last image beautiful. The street art I love ... have taken many photos of street art. Only thing I may have done is crop a little tighter on sides and take out the grass and tried to get some detail into the sky.

Thank you for posting
