FLOWERS
Thanks this month to my wife Amy and a huge special thanks to Wendy at Brambles Florist for getting me some very delicate flowers I had asked for. I hope I can do them justice. Here is August flowers at the turn of another season. So lets see what next month brings us?
Sadly the shop I was using to provide my flowers closed down with the Covid-19 pandemic. So many people and businesses did not make it through so thanks to Blossoms for all they did for me. You were great.
But life moves on … and I am happy to welcome Brambles Florist who are a great shop providing a wide arrange of flowers to the public.
Check out their business and great service here at www.bramblesflowers.com
Well here it is after the long lock down, the flowers are back with a great thank you to Brambles Florist. I have been testing out some new backgrounds and less photoshop with these, and colouring by Capture One …. So here they are please enjoy.
This month I have rested the holga lens images and gone more for the pinhole lens takes as they look a lot better. I don’t know how long I can go on doing this as the florist is proberbly closed down with all this virus shit that going around. I do hope she re-opens and I can start again?
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.
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 !
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.
Here for your enjoyment I have added the July to December 2019 Flowers review slideshow. Instead of having three separate slideshows I have made them all into one. Hope you like?

This is a few extra pictures of the clematis plant I got from Blossoms Florist this month and give them a sort of painting look to them.
Here are the flower updates for the month with a bit … just a bit … of a christmas feeling about them. In a year of change whem we said a sad goodbye to Goldsmith Flowers and a warm welcome to Blossoms Florist, I hope for some stability and continuity in 2020
Its coming to the end of this year, so the summer feel to the pictures is changing ever so slightly. Here then are the flower collection for November. Please enjoy.
Welcome back for the autumn offer of flowers taken in our home studio (out house). Hope you like them as a lot of work does go into them. Please enjoy …
All new flower pictures for this month, I have tried to make them as dynamic and interesting as I can. I am sure you will tell me otherwise if they are not. Please enjoy.
This year is moving fast, or is it just me getting older quicker? I am proud to show you this months flower images of the Cabella type. All edited and all new. Hope you enjoy? Thinking of you Marie xx
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 !
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.
