Introducing our newest member, sylviaspy!
I managed to convinced this talented young lady to share with us, a view through her eyes in this exciting photography world.
Looking forward to see more of her works! Welcome aboard sylviaspy!
Ps: Did I mentioned that she just won an award for her close-up sunflower photo at telegraph.co.uk ? She is awesome! :)
Summer!!! The best time to be going around UK to capture some lovely shots!! The glorious sun has made numerous guest appearances this summer as compared to last year where it was was dark and gloomy most of the time. Hence, it’s a real treat to see the awesome cloud formations and the vibrant blue sky. It makes photography a little easier too as having the pretty sky in the background causes lots of pictures come to life!!! I’ve been going around taking pictures recently and my most recent trip was to Future Gardens.
Before I continue, I should probably do a quick introduction as it’s my first time contributing. I’m from Singapore but I’ve been working in the UK for around 2 years now and am absolutely enjoying my stay here. Ok, enough about me. :D
Future Gardens (http://www.futuregardens.org/), part of the Butterfly World conservation project, recently opened in St Albans Hertfordshire UK.
Having seen some pretty pictures and since it’s not too far from where I lived, we decided to pick a nice sunny day to check the place out and of course to try to capture some nice shots!!
So off we went on a brilliant Saturday morning and we weren’t disappointed as we managed to take quite a few cool ones!!
My faves are the following two, the sunflower closeup which epitomises summer and the globe which caught the details of its surroundings really well.
The next one somehow gives me an impression of a mirror of time, a young fresh sunflower against its older aging self.
Here are a few more shots that I managed to take that day. Enjoy!! :D
I’m looking forward to visiting a Lavender farm this weekend if the weather’s fine so more on that if I manage to make a trip there.
wow, you have such wonderful talent, i do not know which one to choose, they are all wonderful, but i must say that the sunflower, the globe and the mirror may be my top 3.
betchai: She is, glad to have her on board :) Same here, I love the Sunflower, the glass that separate dying sunflower and fresh one (cool concept) and the globe (it’s looks like a giant water droplet)
Looking forward for her next post! :D
Welcome aboard!! wow I am really looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Oh I simply have to get my SonyA900 and a macro lens!!
Apologies for being away for a couple of days. I was in terrible pain. I went to the Dr. today….diagnosis…pinched sciatic nerve!! I have been in terrible pain for weeks now and didn’t say anything…..but, the last 2 days just became so bad I could no longer tolerate it.
So please forgive me for taking so long to make a visit and thank you so much for your wonderful visits and comments.
Wow you have a treasure here….her shots are some of the very best I have ever seen!!
Hugs,
Jackie:-)
WOW, these shots are simply wow!
The globe and the framed sunflower are my Favs.
Amazing!
She is really talented and creative. Very fantastic pictures.
Great!!!!
Very wonderful and unique photos..I like them all since I can’t pick, but the mirror of time stood out to my mind..Brilliant angle!
These shots are incredible. I’ve never seen anything quite like the globe, it is magnificent.
Hey Everyone!!!
Thanks for all the compliments and am glad that you like them!!!! It’s a great encouragement as I’ve just started out putting more thought into my photos.
Jackie, hope you are feeling much better now. Just in case you are thinking that I’m using a DSLR….well, I haven’t got myself one at the moment and I’m currently using a Panasonic FZ28 which I simply love! :D
Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!!!
