Autumn kicked in a little early this year

Thanks to the cold, wet weather our garden seems to think it's autumn already. Pretty depressing that I took these picture early august. Luckily the weather turned around for the good this week, hopefully we can have a bit of summer after dreadul june and july. Though the weather was awful, it got me a lot of wonderful subjects to take pictures of! I love mushrooms and while I look at these pictures I think of little fairies and gnomes living under there, as my love for videogames and fantasy taught me ;-). No worries, I don't actually believe in that sort of thing but it's fun to fantasize about when you're taking pictures of the tiny world that lives under our feet. We don't take notice of that little world all that often, while it's quite a beautiful, magical one! Even without gnomes and fairies.

I'm probably putting my clothing/fashion stuff on a different blog. This is supposed to be my photography blog and I feel a little weird mixing those two together. If people want to see my art I want this to be the place and I'll make a new blog for my fashion stuff!

  2. Ik gebruik lightroom als ik ze wil bewerken, heb ik een keer gratis van Werner gekregen. David heeft 'm ook, misschien heeft hij een cdtje? Als ik foto's maak heb ik wel meestal een eigen ingestelde setting, als je bij settings kijkt heb je landscape, portrait... ik heb een paar custom settings gemaakt met bvb high contrast en sterke kleur en lage contrast en zachte kleuren etc. En dankjewel, ik ben heel erg trots op deze batch. Je kan echt niet herkennen waar ze gemaakt zijn en wat voor weer het was, het licht is ook echt perfect.

  7. Stunning... I've never been so fascinated with mushrooms! What lens did you use to shoot these photos? The more I look at blogs like these the more obsessed i'm becoming with photography- you can capture so much beauty within one snap of a camera! I'm amazed that these photos sourced from your own backyard. I want to go out into my backyard and see what I can find with my Canon now.

    As regards to you keeping your photography and fashion in seperate blogs... I have the same issue rivalling in my mind. I'm not sure whether I should have a seperate blog for photography, now it's becoming more prominent in my life. I've really taken to photographing food... maybe I should have a blog for it? Or maybe an online portfolio?

    I think you having two blogs is perfectly understandable. Just know that it will be hard looking after them both and making sure they both gain readership. I'll definitely follow both blogs though!

  8. @ K.Cruz: My new Fashion Blog is thecanongirldoesfashion.blogspot.com !

    @ nesha: the lens I used is a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS! Mushrooms are so beautiful, not only because of the look of them but because of the texture you can capture with a macro lens. Thank you so much for your lovely comments, so sweet of you and I really appreciate it! I also love to talk to other photography lovers!

    I completely agree and understand your point regarding seperate blogs, and you're probably right on your last note.

    It'll take more work to keep both of the blogs going without forgetting about one of them but on the other hand, I do see this blog as more of my portfolio for my best work and I can't really justify uploading my outfits on this blog.

    The pictures I take of my clothes and myself aren't bad and I try to make something special of it but I can't say it's my best work. Thank you for following both blogs and I will definitely check out your blog too! Thank you for the feedback, always nice!
