I'm sure I've said before that I've got a lovely new camera, but that I've been rather nervous about learning to use it. In fact it was my birthday present way back in February, but I didn't really start to use it properly until we went on holiday in September and now I can't stop!
Now how did these gorgeous flowers go un-noticed? They seemed to have arrived in our garden by magic! There were so many of these lovely white irises/lillies? that I wanted to share them with you, so rushed off to get my camera. I still don't know how to get photos to come out right in night-time shots but had a go anyway - obviously I got the settings totally wrong in the first shot - but it turned out to be very interesting visually anyway.
Then I fiddled about with the settings for a few moments and came up with the second shot, which is heading in the right direction. Unfortunately, the battery power ran out before I could carry on experimenting but at least I know I'm on the right path and so I'll keep on going!
And it's like that for creativity as well. Don't wait to paint that picture or open that box of pastels until you're 'good enough'. Have a go anyway! You might create something totally unexpected - most of all it gives you the inspiration to go on when you realize what you can do now and what you can go on to create if you keep going. It's never too late to make a start - start now!!

These are gorgeous flowers, and hardy! We have some too, and mine managed to survive, even though they are so badly neglected. They are Dietes iridioides if you want more info on them :)
Great experimenting... I need to do more of this with my camera me thinks. Thanks for the inspiration!
