Me and my Shadow!
Spent the morning washing down the Patio to get rid of moss - exhausted - do the remainder tomorrow!! Found this lone Perwinkle at the bottom of the garden and had a go a capturing it in situ, but it was too breezy and all the shots were a bit soft. Brought it indoors - stuck it to the top of my tripod and shot it with the sun shining on it and casting a shadow on a white wall. One of my extra gives you and idea of how I set it up, the other extra shows the Periwinkle shot in situ. I've used the main blip because it looks more dramatic - the contrast of the bright sunlight has tricked the camera into seeing the rest of the wall as black and in this shot gives the effect of a cinema screen. The Periwinkle has a mass of culture surrounding it see HERE! The one I like best is the German belief that it is the 'Flower of Immortality'! As a herb it's not so attractive - e.g. it can be used as a laxative, or to stop a nosebleed by sticking a leaf up the affected nostril! No post-processing today - they are all straight out of the camera!
