Peonies Life Cycle
I photographed these Peonies over a few weeks from bud to end.
I have edited these differently in lightroom from super saturated 1950s bold colour to subtle balletic colours more akin to still life paintings.
I still love the black and white most and need to get more confident with colour and how to use it.

Vintage Lens Filters
Trying out the vintage 1970s rainbow spot and star lens filters on the 85mm canon lens. I found these in a bundle at a carboot sale and throught they would be fun to play with which they are.
Quite gimmicky but the effects are great especially in manual mode where you can create lots of out of focus patterning. Not sure how to use these other than in a disco situation.
I want to look more at lens filters to create effects in camera mainly for blurred sections, soft focus and adding more texture.

Autumn Park Wells
Autumn Shadows in the park. Like how the sun hits the bench on the second image.
Clowns in Window
In a window at the end of St Thomas Street, Wells is a collection of wooden puppets. Made by the puppeteers who live there.
Colour and Black and white.
Wells Foggy Morning Landscapes - October 2019
Bishops palace fields in Wells have beautiful specimen trees, these were good practice for landscape especially as they are well laid out.
Canon 24 - 100 lens f/22 - taken the following week with a different lens with higher f stop.
Climate Strike Wells - 20th September 2019
Extinction Rebellion Climate Strike in Wells Somerset. Wells has an active sustainable group along with newly elected progressive leaders on the council from the Green Party and Lib Dems.
I missed the meeting in the town square but couldn't miss the huge procession of people young and mature walking past the studio window. People settled on the Cathedral green with their vibrant banners and pledges, a wonderful mix of school children, parents and grandparents.
It was a positive step forward with clear actions we all can take to be responsible citizens of this planet.
Rose - Lynnsey Kelly Flowers
The classic rose, bold and very beautiful. I love how strong and leathery the leaves are as a silhouette. My pictures make them look quite dry so maybe I need to try misting the flowers first?
Wax Flower - Lynnsey Kelly Flowers
I love this flower, just like the wax bridal crowns of the 1930s and 40s. And it smells so delicious.

Lantern Parade Wells Somerset
In the rain, it was magical as one by one these beautiful paper lanterns arrived in the pitch black darkness of the park. The drums started and the procession bobbed along to the Cathedral. One of the most simple and effective treats to see in Winter and I look forward to 2019s lantern parade in Wells.
December 2018 Journey to Work Somerset
It was a sunny foggy morning on my drive to work and the pastel colours against the black of the trees were so beautiful.
On the most in Wells the mist was rising from the water, I wish every morning could be cold and crisp and this lovely.
I should be excited about all types of weather and try to capture it with my camera learning new techniques along the way.
