Image catchers

Whilst I enjoy capturing and altering images with my iPhone I never count myself as a photographer - yep metal worker and sculptor but not a photographer in the league of many of the people I admire in our blog community.

Fiona and I have been fortunate to buy a couple of images captured by Suzi Smith of Lone Crow Photos.  I just loved Suzi's ability to capture the mystery of the flight of a crow and different moods of the moon. The photos arrived on Friday when we arrived home from Perth.

Of course in taking a couple of closeups of the photos for this post I ended up with what I think are a couple of fragments that add their own tones and mystery.





Other photographic artists I admire, to mention but a few, include:

  • Tammie  who does such excellent panoramic and macro shots; 
  • Gabrielle of Two Tigers Creations who capture the mood of the city and seasons; 
  • Leovi who creates such colours and abstracts; 
  • Elena who can make multiples and even unpeeling a garlic look magical; and 
  • Ruma who introduces us to the magic of the Japanese landscape and kanji script.

    MD, TL, R, S/R, L & SZQ - amazing how many of us like crows - in their own way not a great omen but such black beauty. S/R the close up was a bit spooky. Glad that you all liked Suzi's work and that of the other image artists. L - it is easy to give recognition to skilled people such as yourself. Go well. B
