Week 45 - Family

Siblings - my mum and her little brother. Love this photo.

It is incredible how much detail we miss everyday. Just look at the down on these feathers. I walk by them nearly every day on a dreamcatcher in our house but never picked out this detail before.

Week 43 - Light

As a photographer, light is so important to me. Not just the amount of it and whether it is natural or man-made but also the direction it is coming from and how it reflects in the subjects eyes. I just love the catch-lights in this baby's eyes. In good catchlights you can actually see the shape/reflection of the source of the light when you zoom in close. On this shot you can clearly see the tall, Victorian bay windows!

Week 42 - Children

Now if you ever come to Edinburgh then you should head up to the Churchhill Theatre in the leafy suburb of Morningside wherein you will find Loopy Lorna's Tea House. It is an amazing place with loads and loads of yummy, scrummy cakes and goodies but one thing that has always impressed me about this place beyond any others I have seen in the area is their welcoming attitude to kids. The tiniest babe to the strong-willed toddler and even the stroppy teenagers who have just finished their school day are all welcome at Loopy's which, in my opinion, is just how it should be because NOBODY should miss out of the wonderful cakes.s
Take a stroll over to Loopy's at www.loopylorna.com or their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/Loopy-Lornas-Tea-House-Morningside to check them out.

Week 41 - Stripes

I guess reflective stripes do work afterall :-)

Week 40 - Nature

Nature has some amazing talents. Watching these butterflies emerge from the cocoons is just incredible. Wish I had had time-lapse shots. (Note to self: remember the tripod the next time you visit the butterfly farm).
