“Lanterns by My light”

Hi All, I hope this finds ye well and safe,

so here it is ..my second post….

I was in Grafton St Dublin with my friend Doreen

and her two great kids..images which I will post later in the

month when I have done some work on them….so back to what you’re looking at now.

There is a couple of flower sellers on the Street, and they were selling these beauties.

I think they are called Chinese Lanterns …please correct me if you know..

I brought them home and as some of you know I will spend time shooting for myself

as much as I will for my profession, and this is the fruits of my labour…

They are all shot in the studio with the flash heads but I only used the modelling lamp

and then processed them in Photoshop and used a collection of textures on them…

The last 3 images were shot on my kitchen table with sunlight coming in from my front door.

Some of the textures are my own and the others are from Kim Klassen, but most are from

Jerry Jones, of SkeletaMess and ShadowHouse Creations these people give us a lot of free textures

that help us bring our work to a whole other level…I thank them both and all the other people who give us

some great free textures o work with….

So before I bore you all to tears with any more words….here are my images…Hope you like them..

Thanks for taking the time to visit…would love to hear what you think…Podge
