Just wanted to share a quick photo with you on Shooting My Journey... It's just one simple photograph but to me it is so much more!!
How much
fun were dandelion seeds when we we’re little!? Picking and blowing, spreading
the seeds like wildfire for our parents to slave over the weeds in the garden during
the summer!? Lol, what fun!
Taken with
my Nikon 1 with a shutter speed of about 1/125 and an aperture F/4.5 of gives
this photo not only depth but colour and a strong focal point. The green bursts
out of this photo yet I don’t think it overpowers the delicate light colours of
the seeds. What do you think?
I was quite
lucky as a child growing up in London with quite a big back garden, big enough
to put up one of those kids paddling pools and still have enough room to run
around! These seed buds have always reminded me of my childhood. The feelings
of being carefree, curious and happy; hot days, BBQs and getting ready for the
summer fun ahead!
It makes me
sad sometimes that I don’t enjoy the simple things in life as much as I used
to. Things like bubbles, empty boxes and Haribo lol, but these always make me
smile and remember to slow down, look around and just enjoy life!
I hope this
photo will inspire you to go out and find something so simple that can make one
so happy. Or just go and do something silly like put a whoopee cushion on your
boss’s chair ☺ Just keep it simple and see how
much fun you will have!!
Until next
time x
