“Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.”

– Elizabeth Lawrence

The seasons may come and go at different times for us all, and we may not all call Autumn, Autumn, but wherever we are and whatever we call it, it is a beautiful and inspiring time of year. This month Share Six are focusing on {autumnal} images.

Last month we were quarantined again when covid came to visit. Thankfully no one suffered too much and we were soon about to enjoy an autumnal walk at our local park.

Share Six Blog Circle – May 2021 | Light Inspired

The theme for May’s Share Six Blog Circle is {Light Inspired}. As photographers, we are always searching for inspiration, ways to create something new or beat our way out of a rut. Ultimately that inspiration often from the light that surrounds our subject.

The past few weeks I’ve been (massively) inspired by a new lens – the Lensbaby Velvet 85 – and a new set of Lensbaby Omni Filters – the colour expansion pack. The colour crystal omni wands create and manipulate light in a creative, extraordinary and incredibly inspiring way, so for me these images are the epitome of {Light Inspired}.

This month’s Share Six theme is {growth}, and I couldn’t think of a more perfect theme for the beginning of Spring. All around us new life is springing into action. Bulbs are coming into bloom and trees are in blossom.

Share Six Blog Circle – May 2020 | Simplicity

Ceri-Herd-Photography-Tulip-Lensbaby-Omni

This month’s Share Six theme is {simplicity}.

As I sit down to prepare this blog, we are hearing reports that the UK is now the worst hit country in Europe, in terms of deaths due to COVID-19. We’ve been at home now for over 6 weeks, only leaving the house for dog walks and to get essential supplies. Although it seemed daunting at first, we are in fact living a simpler life and I definitely have a newfound appreciation for the simple things.

I planted tulips in my garden last October. It being our first year in this house, I had no idea what other flowers were going to appear this Spring, but tulips are my absolute favourite and I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to have some as soon as possible. When I planted them, little did I know how much energy I would invest in watching them grow, diligently waiting for the right time to study them with my camera.

It’s amazing to me that I can find such joy from one flower. I have spent the last 18 months feeling uninspired, looking further and further afield to create something that I felt worthy of sharing. But now I see it. In the right light, with the right tools, there is magic in this little corner of my garden. It was right in front of me, just waiting for me to be ready to see it.

Take a step back from the rat race. Appreciate what you have.

Thanks for joining us again this month. Don’t forget, post your {simplicity} images on our Facebook page SHARE SIX or to our Instagram gallery by using #sharesix_simplicity. A new theme will be posted on 6th June.
