Textured condensation

In these photographs, I focused more on the actual condensation rather than the scene outside. I think they both have a real sense of texture to them - almost metalic or like precious stones. This contrasts strongly with reality, where touching the surface would destroy the pattern.

Condensation

I was experiementing the other day with photographing the view from my bedroom through the condensation on the window. This blurs vision and adds a haze of hexagonal shapes, making for a more atmospheric scene.

Garden frost

Had a beautiful frosty morning yesterday, so managed to get a few photos in the garden. I'd love (well, sort of) to get up early and go out and about to take advantage of the amazing light at that time of day. The potential for great photographs is there, but I don't think I'm getting it just yet. Could blame it on my wee camera, but I think I could do with more practice too! Bring on winter!

Liking the lichen

(Apologies for the cheesey title - couldn't resist)

Found some interesting patches of lichen on wooden posts on a recent trip to Dobbies (with the parents, I must stress!). Love the detail within these photos - the colours, patterns and texture. Could be an interesting project to try and reproduce in stitch? I like the idea of distorting the scale, for example by enlarging an area to make it less obvious what it is.

I like being able to see interesting details in something that is normally overloooked.

U2, Summer 2009

I took these photos at a U2 gig last year in Hampden Park, Glasgow. Managed to get right down the front, which was amazing! Particularly like the top photo of Bono - again, it's the silhouettes and light that I seem to go for.

Hoping to blog a bit more regularly over the next few months (rather than lots then nothing for ages!), so watch this space...
