A flower, a rose I think, from Mrs Kinch's garden

I did a brief refresher photography course on Sunday. It was mainly a case of rediscovering things I'd forgotten, but it was fun and it certainly rekindled my interest in things.

This girl looked entirely out of place (or rather time) to me, she had a face that belonged in a Velazquez or a Goya. This was a candid shot taken with a tripod, I was trying to capture the look of a pre-electric light interior. If I was taking this shot again and could pose it, I would have tried to bounce some light onto her face.

A pensive looking Cherubim
I should have framed this to either cut out the second fellow or bring him fully into the picture. Shorter exposure next time, would like to get this one right.

A riot of colour
In the meantime, I've plodded along with my musketeer. All the gaps are filled, though I notice when it dried that it swells slightly, leaving a bump. It has a slightly chalky feeling to the touch and I've been knocking it about a bit with a scrap of Mrs Kinch's furniture restoration sandpaper. Slow, but steady Kinch. The trick is to make sure I don't put him somewhere safe so that I can come back to him. That way rediscovering him five years later lies.
Kinch, sir! You are a barbarian. Ask Mrs Kinch nicely to tell you the names and varieties of her flowers. Do it at once!
ReplyDeleteWell, the first one is a Rose.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is a Lictus.
The third one shows Fuchsia, Crocosmia and a third plant is the bottom left hand corner that I forget the name of.
I regard Mrs Kinchs garden as I regard wine, I take a great and entirely uneducated pleasure in it.
Very nice work. Kay says that crocosmia is commonly known as Lucifer's Tongue. The second one, she says, is Lychnis Chalcedonia. To me, they are all pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one Padre.
