The soul has words as petals

It’s that time again for new images to be uploaded!

There’s been a bit of a delay this week in updating the blog and photography, because of a rather niggling tooth ache. The tooth seems to have lost the battle, with antibiotics being needed, so these edits were a welcome distraction from the next dentist trip drawing closer.

Here is six of the newest images and edits, all with a flowery theme this time. I’ve also entered just for fun the BBC your images competition, for the theme ‘Autumnal.’ You can find the images I chose to enter on the competitions page of this site.

Enjoy!

RHS Photographic Competition

Another fingers crossed, wishful thinking moment, as I’ve decided to enter the RHS Photographic Competition.

Here are the two entries that I put forward –

‘New bloom’ Photography and edit by Rose-Sky Journey Pieces. Copyright 2016.

‘Bed of roses’. Photography and edit by Rose-Sky Journey Pieces. Copyright 2016.

The competition is open to everyone, and they are currently accepting online entries as well as social media entries. The closing date is the 28th February 2017, so still time to enter!

More information on the competition, the prizes, categories can be found here on their website – RHS Photographic Competition 2017 (external link)

I would love to hear from anyone else that has entered this competition, or your thoughts on the entry pieces that I chose.

As with anything else entered, if there’s luck at the end of the rainbow, then of course it will be mentioned on this blog at a later date.

In other news, there’s a new camera bag to try out here, and a new bouquet of flowers too itching to be photographed! Still waiting for the new lens, so I can be able to give a comparison to the current lens. There’s also this internal debate about whether to add a beauty review section to this site, or to start another site just dedicated to that. Off topic from the photography, and perhaps not as exciting, but I’m finding that searching for good quality products, that can do the same (sometimes better!) than the designer brands is becoming a bit of a hobby. Alongside the photography, art, crafts, and blogging of course! Anyone interested in hearing reviews of the latest £1 lipstick I found, then please give me a shout to know whether this will be a popular read. If not, I’ll be more than happy still photographing, and smiling behind the camera at the £1.49 ombre nail varnish kit too!

Enjoy your day,

Rose-Sky Journey Pieces.

Reasons to smile!

‘Show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.’

Hump day is non-existent here this week, as there’s new photography edits to show you all, and some rather happy news too.

Let’s start with the new edits. More decaying roses as they continue to wither, and I refuse to throw them out. Perfect for adding texture to images I feel. There’s a new edit on the magical unicorn, and a play around piece ‘True colours’ for a more funky art look.

Onto the good news, I recently entered a competition for the Society of photographers. Well since entering I’ve been offered free membership, and now the post has arrived inviting me again to join up as a member. It’s tempting just to see whether any of the images on here would make the panel’s approval for at least an associate / ‘licensed’ photographer. If the image gets anywhere in the competition, or I take up membership, I’ll let everyone know in the blog at a later date.

Happy hump day to all of you!

Sony World Photography Awards 2017

Perhaps a bit of a plunge….

But I’ve entered the Sony World Photography Awards 2017, as found here – Sony World Photography Awards 2017 on the World Photo Organisation website .

There are ten categories, and so far I have entered one under Still Life. Each category will have one winner, up to ten shortlisted photographers, and up to 40 commended photographers.

Closing date is 5th January 2017, so still time for others to put their entries forward too if you are interested.

Fingers crossed everyone!

Here’s what I have submitted so far –
