Hello everyone – sorry I have been away again for a little while but I thought I had better return with some brand new posts.
We start off with a picture from a recent holiday to Rouen – famous for amongst other things John of Arc.
Today’s picture is a HDR shot of a flower stall on one of Rouen’s side streets. It just seemed to have the colours and layout that would lend itself to a HDR shot and I hope you agree I was not mistaken.
After a short break we’re back with picture number 12 from our Peterborough Exhibition.
I’d love to say this is somewhere exotic but in fact it is a picture taken in my garden. Sometimes simple is very effective!
If you’d like to see more of the pictures from our exhibition just click on the picture
Unfortunately, after saying I’d be posting a picture a day of my exhibition prints I then didn’t have time yesterday! To remedy this I’ll be doing 2 posts today to make up for it 🙂
So here is post number 1 – Holly.
This is a picture of the holly bush in my Mum’s garden. However rather than just take a picture of the complete bush I thought I’d get in close and try to be little more ‘arty’ – I hope you like the result.
If you can’t wait to see the rest just click on the picture and you’ll be taken to the exhibition page on my website where you can view the rest of the pictures that are on display.
I realised today I hadn’t blogged for a while so thought I’d better get myself sorted!
So today’s post is called Simple Beauty and was my entry in the ‘end of course photo competition’ of a training course that I attend.
I wanted to go for something simple, black and white and with a lighting effect and I must say I do rather like the end result.
I was third! Oh well some you win……
Hi, today is Mother’s Day here in the UK and what better way to celebrate it than with flowers.
This is a picture dedicated to all the deserving mothers out there.
Well not much to say about this picture except it’s a HDR image of a dandelion!
Hope you enjoy it – take a look at my website http://www.imjphotoart.co.uk for more images

This is a picture that I took at the tail end of last year in October.
Unfortunately, it had been a struggle to get this Dahlia to grow but when it eventually did the wait was worth it and the colour really vibrant.
I hope you enjoy it too.

The smell of lavender is relaxing – so some say. Not sure if I agree but there you go!
But anyway, I have a confession to make – this picture wasn’t supposed to be just a lovely picture of the lavender in my garden. I was actually trying to get a picture of the bees that kept landing on it.
Unfortunately the bees had other ideas and didn’t feel like being models for the day!
However they may have done me a favour as I do think that this picture has actually turned out OK minus the bees – I hope you enjoy it too.

This picture was taken in the gardens of Brighton Pavilion last year. I was experimenting with depth of field shots and think this one came out rather nicely even if I do say so myself.
Of course, I should be able to tell you which plant/flower it is but I’m not much of a gardener so I have no idea – if anyone wants to fill in the blank please feel free :-).

Thanks.
When I was deciding on the pictures for my ‘A Splash of Colour Calendar’ I was looking for inspiration for December and it actually came to me in my garden!
There were some strikingly red berries on my holly bush and after a little pruning (and a few pricks – excuse the double entendre!) I was finally able to capture this image and give it a Photoshop treatment to represent December.
The calendar is still available at http://www.imjphotoart.co.uk and is a snip at just £3.50.
Feel free to email me direct too at ian@imjphotoart.co.uk with any questions you may have regarding any of my work.
