Moving on from the history lesson, today has been all about light! Weather-wise, the sun has been shining brightly all day. This in turn has led to everyone seeming much happier and having a spring in their step! Curtains have been drawn open wildly and windows opened to 'get some fresh air'. Being British, the main conversation has been focused around how nice it is outside.
In fact, today's image was going to include the sun or the sky. Driving home from work in a lovely light, I had visions of a shot of a blue, cloudless sky. Or a crocus emerging from the ground to announce the arrival of spring.
This would have happened had there not been a slight mix up with some company delivering a parcel ! This 'mix up' resulted in me spending too long on a (10p per minute) helpline, sorting out the problem. By the time we had resolved the situation (the company classing a Littlewoods Catalogue as a parcel, which I don't!), the lovely light had long since gone!
Which brings me on to today's image ... I have just spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening attending my local photography club. I'm attending for the same reasons I'm getting this blog going - to revitalise my love of photography.
Anyway, the subject of tonight's club was mono prints, or black and white photography. So, after arriving home, I set up and took this image - it's a now pretty dead rose, which was one of a dozen I gave to my wife on Valentine's Day. A quick conversion to black and white meant I had a story for tonight.
Ironically, as I am lying in bed writing this, my final act of the day will be to turn off the lights !
Sweet dreams !
