Dust and Decay

Decay and dead moths especially might not seem the most enthralling things to photograph, but i saw some work the other week in a mag i purchased, it was a brief look as Jen borrowed the magazine before i read it and i haven't seen it since ;) .. anyhow i really liked how the photographer had gone peering into another life, in to spiders webs and dark holes to capture what lives there. it got me

playing with decay. and Black and white.

 thinking and got me looking at the stuff thats left lying around, the small details. how they might look in the form we brush away and mop up. behind the vases on the window sill and the dust on the top shelf. 

so a little macro play while i still had Jens Tamron, do i want one.... yes defo want a macro lens next..

added textures and effect on Black and white to dramatise image.

Up date on me new learning curve

Well at the beginning I found college to be a tough step, all my own doing out of fear. But now I have found it to be a door open to my creative explorations, my way of creative thinking is different to Steve's as I think I need a structure to how I come about ideas. Steve's way of creative thinking can be so wonderfully random (jealous of that ability). It is nice to have ideas that can flow easily through the methods used in college, ideas do not usually flow so easily for me and can occasionally go stagnant.
I have loved reading about different artists/photographers and that has sparked ideas for me .. Here are a few plays all with Steve in them hehehe...

a little play from the 356!

1sec hand held exposure using a speedlight to capture the image and the exposure to capture the movement!
lots to learn about flash, but i love it

macro fun with the Tamron sp90mm Jen brought, its nice I'm learning to use it and love it now!
