Keith Burton's photos

Looking over the rooftops from the sea walls towards Tower House and it's beautiful "galleon" weather vane. In the PiP is a view along the new sea defences looking towards the harbour entrance with the Square Tower on the right and Gosport on the left.

One of out local florists was clearing out a window display and I managed to get hold of some of these to photograph. They were a bit battered and shapeless, but I thought I could make something of them. This is the result. As always, photographed indoors in natural light in my home studio (which doubles as a dining room table). The textured background was added in post production.

Yet more from the Portsmouth Street Art Festival 2023. Two more images in the PiPs and all three images are by the Netherlands based artist NoL. nolart.com/mural

These small ornamental gourds were found in the walled garden at West Dean Gardens in West Sussex. They were on display in baskets and so I was able to take them out and photograph them on a table.

Some more items from my "props" box, arranged on a white card background, and photographed in natural window light. We have family down for the weekend, so not much time for commenting etc........but I'll do my best. Have a great weekend everyone..!!

Following on from my close up shot the other day www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/52143794) here are another few shots of the resident cockerels at West Dean Gardens. Thanks for looking.

This was taken outdoors agains a really boring, almost monochrome sky..........so I thought I'd go all in and do a black and white conversion in post processing! A different camera as well......playing with the bridge camera my wife used to use :-)

All taken at West Dean Gardens in West Sussex.

Part of a leaf of the Canna Lily. Taken in West Dean Gardens, West Sussex.

Taken yesterday during a visit to West Dean Gardens, Nr Chichester, West Sussex. There were two of them wandering around the walled garden and this one kindly posed for me :-)

Not as big as they used to be.........but still very tasty..........and quite photogenic :-)) Thank you to everyone who has visited my photo-stream lately, especially those who have left a comment and/or a yellow star........always appreciated and it makes sharing worthwhile..!! Have a splendid weekend :-)

Captured towering towering over the rooftops of Old Portsmouth, Hampshire. A better viiew of the cathedral's weather vane can be seen in this photo I took back in 2017: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/45943302

Taken on the seafront in Old Portsmouth, Hampshire.

I'd never heard of this plant until my neighbours cut one down and were going to thrown the remains in the bin. It was cut down because apparently it had never flowered. On investigation it seems the Moonflower is a species of night-blooming Morning Glory, native to tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, so it's not surprising it didn't like being in southern England :-)) Anyway, before it went in the bin, I snipped off two seed pods, one of which I cut in half and this photo is what it looks like, inside and out. This is about twice life size. In the PiP is an even closer shot of the seeds. Thanks for looking.
