Nodule's photos

Treasure Hunt: PP Compose a realistic wall of photos Had some fun here... Each frame was downloaded from stock images, I have mounted each of my images separately into the frames then placed them on to the background image of the wall then applied individual shadows to the frames. I am trying to find the time to put together a tut for this for those who want to know more.

... I've got a quarter inch to take off my front door! Boom Boom! For Treasure Hunts Cloud theme. Use of a polarising filter here has brought up the blue sky nicely

Treasure Hunt: Something pertaining to Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Universe; Typical! A brain the size of the planet and this is what I am expected to do...!?

Treasure Hunt: Something beginning with W; Waterdrops Any excuse to get the drip kit out... three flash guns to get the speed right up to freeze the action, this is probably a moment in time close to 1/20,000th of a second!!! A simple technique that requires a little patience and a tabletop studio! Not such a good outcome though, not many usable frames out of the 300 or so that I took

Brought this clipping in because I thought there has to be a nice shot in it somewhere only to be told one shouldn't bring Lilac into the house as it'll bring bad luck! Really, in this day and age? :-) Anyway, I like it! Unlucky Lilac; the folklore states that it is unlucky to bring white Lilac into the house as "it is sure that a family disaster will follow"! This May have something to do with the very pleasant odour these lovely flowers have and which were used to line coffins while they stood on display in the front room so that family members and friends could come and pay their last respects to the deceased, a habit that is no longer fashionable thank goodness! The link with tempting fate is all too obvious and I rather like the possibility that gardeners, fed up up with people taking clippings might have something to do with it too! :-)
