Quarterly

Well Mick certainly set the standard extremely high this week. And from the shots I have seen I am really looking forward to be taken around the countryside on a photographic expedition (although I am hoping for the snow to have cleared before then). I took a step back today after trying hard to get things done in a rush yesterday I was advised to slow down and take my time. So I sent his lordship out for some flowers as I thought it is time to get back to basics and go with what you know best. Luckily for me there were sunflowers in the bunch which enabled me to try a flower I had never shot before. I have spent a very enjoyable 6 or so hours today taking photographs, playing with them in photoshop, retaking photographs and getting them right in photoshop which can only mean art is not to be rushed (probably why I always preferred pastels over oil paints........you didn't have to wait for the paint to dry!)
