Black & White Photography Project Week 67

I went on a food photography course yesterday, it was inspiring and thought provoking and I had so much fun. Although this isn't one of my favourite from the session I wanted to save those for another post. This is still full of detail though and the shapes and textures of the plums, cake and stone floor is just wonderful.

Yesterday we were lucky enough to be invited on a fabulous blog event in Nottingham, we visited several of Nottingham's wonderful attractions, more to come on a blog soon but I wanted to include this beautiful picture of my daughter making a clay butterfly. It works so well in black and white and I just love how it works.

Black & White Photography Project Week 64

This weekend we visited Southwell Ploughing Match, we visited a few years ago and it was such a great experience for the children to see some history and agriculture, a sometimes forgotten part of our lives. But with livestock, shows, ploughing and much more it was a brilliant way to spend our Saturday.

Autumn is fast approaching and for the first time I miss my old garden, I miss the treasure that was my apple tree. Thankfully our local green grocer stocks some wonderful British varieties, but still the joy I felt collecting apples I miss so much.

Black & White Photography Project Week 61

Another one from our visit to the beautiful Le Treport on our last day in France, as we got to the top of the hillside via the wonderful funicular railway the view was amazing. I just had to take a shot before we headed back to the car.

Black and White Photo Project Week 60

We spent out last day in France in the beautiful coastal town of La Treport, about an hour and fifteen minutes drive from Calais. I saw this walkway which had fallen into the see and knew it would look great in black and white.

Black and White Photography Project Week 59

As we visited Paris this week the obvious choice had to be the Eiffel Tower, such an imposing structure and a joy to visit, although we didn't go to the top as it was closed when we got there.

Black & White Photography Project Week 58

The moody skies over the Abbaye De Jumieges, it was a sunny and rainy day in equal proportions but we enjoyed walking round the ruins. This part of the abbey was built by William the Conquerer back in 1067 so is one of the oldest buildings we've ever visited.

We've been growing some cress this week and my daughter has loved watching it grow.

Black & White Photography Project Week 56

When life gives you lemons make...lemon curd in my case this week. I love how the shadow and light and dark looks in this picture, obviously it' looks better in colour with the bright yellow lemons.

Black & White Photography Project Week 53

We were walking back from a meal out last week and I spotted this on a wall in  the centre of Nottingham, I really liked it and had to stop to take a picture.

Black & White Photography Project Week 50

This weekend has been amazing for me, I have managed to squeeze in so many workshops and meet so many lovely people. This picture is from the fabulous Capture By Lucy session, I loved putting together this mood bard. Thank you BritMums you've been amazing!

Black & White Photography Project Week 49

My gran has always had lots of beautiful roses in her garden and the smell is always divine. This one is a beautiful bright yellow, but I love the detail in black and white too.

Black & White Photo Project Week 48

I bought some pretty sunflowers last week to brighten up the house, I think they are such beautiful and interesting flowers.

Black & White Photo Project Week 47

I absolutely love these letters, they look great in the day or at night and equally as amazing in black and white.

Black & White Photo Project Week 46

My daughter, she loves pink, mermaids, princesses and tutus but she also loves water fights, getting dirty and climbing. It's not the clothes or the colour that define the child, but the person in them!

Black & White Photo Project Week 45

Swirling, twirling in the fields of gold behind our house!

Black & White Photo Project Week 43

From our trip to Bradgate Park at the weekend, the wonderful folly at the top of the hill. It looks beautiful in black and white.

I love bricks in black and white, it picks out the detail and I loved this wall with this beautiful shaped light.
