Late last year I obtained through crowd funding a pinhole lens to fit my Nikon camera. Its a specialist lens which you would not use every day, but good to use on subjects like flowers. So with this in mind I am adding onto the Flower Updates these new Pinlens pictures. Similar to the Holga Lens, everything is blurred, but can be very interesting. I am at some point going to try it out on a model, but thats for a later date. Please enjoy these.

February Flower Update
This is it for another month. Here are all the flower images for February. Viewers may have noticed that everything is done in fours. Unlike before when I would go to the flower shop each week to get new plants, I now only go once a month and get four flowers. Even if its a five week month, I limit it to four. It saves time and energy, and looks even numerically…... So now you know !
January Flower Update
Fresh new year with a healthy offering of flower pictures to be going on with.. I have purchased a Pin Hole Lens for my Nikon and will try it out on next months flower pictures. I hope it works and I can show you all the results. Stay tuned.

Welcome Blossoms Florist
I found a great little supplier of flowers for me. They are really good and have a great choice of flowers to choose from. The shop is called Blossoms Florist … a great indipendant florist. Thank you … at last !

July Flower Update
Here are the Cabella Flower Images for July. I have changed the name of one class of image. I used to call the ‘Ghost’ images, because they were old fashion sepia toned. Well they have moved so far away from the original concept that I now call them ‘Alternatives.’ They are all one offs, with a slight sneak of the old sepia in them but with more colour and vibrance added. All flowers provided kindly by Blossoms Florist.

Welcome back for a fun packed edition of fun - sun and flower power. These were all taken in the home studio with help from my darling wife. I actually have a back log of images I can process still from Goldsmith Flowers Shop, but have started again as I dont want to get lazy on the job.
March Flowers Update
Here is the flower review for March, now on my site’s blog after Google closed the old ones down
Goodbye and thank you to the staff at Goldsmith Flowers
Sadly after ten good years of supplying me with quality flowers to photograph, Goldsmith Flowers has closed its doors to business. With excellent servive, it has been a feature in the town for more than twenty five years. The staff were always friendly and so helpful, and I feel like I have lost a friend. Thanks to Karen, Karen, Dee, Lorainne and Carl. Thank you ...you were the best ....
