Colour � Sheep � Tranquillity at Norfolk Lavender.

 After watching the distillation of the Lavender oil that I posted about yesterday at the Norfolk Lavender centre, I wandered into the garden centre section.

These glossy planters caught my eye almost immediately a definite photo opportunity. The colours were amazing and the high gloss sheen caught the light beautifully.

The cheeky sheep were opposite keeping an eye on me as I took the photographs of the planters.

We decided after wandering amongst the flowers of the garden centre (photos for another time) we would go into the gardens and then on further to the rare breeds section.

I will leave you today with the scene that greeted us as we crossed the bridge�

Very tranquil I am sure you will agree.

Colour enhances the photo's story.

Yesterday I spoke about how the use of black and white imagery can help to tell the story of the photo.

Well today I can show you that their counter 'colour images' can also help to enhance the story.

The bright primary colours in these pictures help to enhance the play element of these child portraits.

I came across these pictures in my old portfolio folder. They were take a number of years ago when I was commissioned to take the annual photo's for a nursery school in London. I took formal shots of all the children but also these candid photos. Looking back it is the candid shots that stand out and tell a story. I will look to share more with you in the future.

I've had to scan these images in as they are old prints so please excuse their quality.
