For a while there I was trying to keep my photos separate from my writers Blog, but it's time to admit, I 'm not very good at it. From now on I'll be combinging things once again. If you wish to see more of my photogrpahy adventures, please visit www.sashawhite.net/blog

Hope to see you there.

Winter's Coming

From my window.

STR

A friend that posed for me. What do you think?

Daisy

Gerbera Daisy's are my fave flower. :)

What would you ask?

If you could look into a crystal ball and see the answer to any question, what would you ask?

Second Home

Presents?

Even the cats love it when the postman comes bearing boxes.

Shades of Blue

Size Does Matter

Okay, I admit this photo doesn't look like much here, but click on it, and get the LARGE version, and check it out. The detail is pretty cool.

Americana

Took this when I was in Washington State. Simple, yet I liked the view.

Where's the spider?

Part of me really wanted to see a big ugly spider in there, but I admit part of me was glad it wasn't around. LOL

Juicy

Not only were they pretty, they were yummy too!

Headshots

At the start of Septemebr I went on a writing retreat with some author friends. One of them, Delilah Devlin, needed a new author photo for her website and promotions. What do you think? Which one do you like best?

HDR

So, I've seen so much HDR (HIgh Dynamic Resolution) around, and I really liked them, and I wanted to try it. However, I only have Photoshop Elements, and it doesn't have the Merge to HDR option that the complete photoshop suite does. So this is my attempt at it, done with masking and lighting/shading.

(HDR is achieved by merging layers of the same photo from different exposures to get well, a dynamic photo)


Do you like it? Or do you think it looks too fake?

In Bloom

Now look closer. In a field of stone, flowers can still bloom.




These phots were taken in Ireland, in a place called The Burren.

Taken from http://www.burrenpage.com/


"The thing about the Burren is that it is not obvious. It's not like the Taj Mahal or the Grand Canyon or Ayer's Rock. You could be standing in the middle of it and asking the locals where it is. This has happened. Let's face it, grey stone, green fields and cows is basically what Ireland is to some people, and if you don't do your homework, you too could cycle or drive the length and breadth of the Burren and feel like you never really saw it. But the homework isn't difficult and you can start right here. The Burren is an amazing place. It is a karst limestone region of approximately 300 sq km which lies in the north west corner of Co Clare, in Ireland. It is composed of limestone pavements, which are eroded in a distinctive pattern known as karren. This pavement is crisscrossed by cracks known as grykes and underneath the pavement there are huge caves and rivers that suddenly flood when it rains. It contains dozens of megalithic tombs and celtic crosses and a ruined Cistercian Abbey from the 12th century, Corcomroe. You can find villages abandoned since famine times and green roads on which you can walk for miles without ever seeing a car . And if you go in springtime you will find rare wildflowers such as gentian and orchids and bloody cranesbill."

I wish

I wish I was back in Greece right now, sitting at a small street cafe watching people go by.

Doorway To Adventure

This is a picture I took when I was in Ireland years ago. It's simple really, just a doorway I thought was very unique and cool that had a subtle Celtic vibe to it. I recently scanned the photo and wanted to do something unique with it, and came up with this. IF you saw a doorway that led into space or another universe, would you go through it?
