If I stand on the bed in my office, I can open the roof-light and place my digital camera on the glass. It makes for some quite interesting twilight effects, and means I can use zoom and more zoom – i.e. as in playing, not writing. But then all writers/creators need to do lots of playing: it’s all part of nourishing the imagination. The knack, of course, is knowing when to stop, and get down to some hard graft. Not today, I’m afraid.
This Thursday at Lost in Translation Paula asks for twilight, and who are we to refuse her.

What fun! I especially love the third one. I know what you mean about playing. I’m much rather play with photography that write, but then eventually the writing cries out to me and I just have to buckle down and do it.

And very good for you for listening to that writing voice!
some hard graft … yes, well, cough cough.Solitaire and other such games do not count.
Nice photos!
🙂
Have you not been grafting, Ark???
Weeeerlll
I’m on it, Tish! I shall get Mick to install one of those window frames tomorrow 🙂 🙂 Everyone’s got to play sometime.
I wonder if anyone’s done a treatise on the photographic possibilities of velux windows…
Maybe not a best seller? 🙂
Ha!
I captured a pink sky tonight, more successful than the flocks of birds that had been teasing me all day. As soon as I ventured out with the camera they all disappeared!
They’re tricksy like that, birds.
Indeed 🙂
I now have an image of you wobbling on a soft bed trying to hold a camera steady!
Oh Gilly. Have you got x-ray eyes? I’m probably more than old enough to know better than to go climbing on beds, but at least these days I know not to jump on the mattress. It’s a cabin bed. Would probably end up in one of the under-bed drawers. Yikes!
🙂 I am selfish. I am glad when you don’t know when to stop 😉 The view is amazing, Tish, inspiring contemplation.
You are so lovely, Paula! But oh how you tempt me to stray from my keyboard 🙂
Love the images, and oh yes re all creatives needing a lot of playing…I wholeheartedly agree:)
You are so very good at it too – and then turning play into something wonderful 🙂
Awesome pictures!
🙂
Sensational subtle colour – your play became real art – that last shot is surely a print for your wall. Twilight gives such a sense of peace – could gaze at that for hours.
Thanks for reciprocated bolstering in the art department 🙂
better get down the the gym now 😉
Play is good, at least to some extent, as everyone needs balance and if play looks this good, it’s even better. 🙂

🙂 Happy Thanksgiving, Janet!
Thanks, Tish. It was a good one and we’re still visiting and relaxing.
Remarkable twilights….!
Excellent.
Thank you so much, Rabirius 🙂
You’re welcome.
Playing at times produces great results 😉 like you have demonstrated here!
Thanks, Helen.
I like the first one most – think I counted seven layers and all three images nice take on twilight –
And thx for the permission to play – ha!
🙂 Thanks, Yvette
🙂
What a view! Your photos are beautiful. I do love living in a major city, TIsh, but sometimes I’d love to look out a window and see a distant horizon rather than another building. One day …
