Powdery pink

This marks a retreat indoors, away from the hot sunshine baking this usually damp island. It makes colours more vivid, while the light can be so strong that photographs can look harsh and bleached.

The subtle pink shades are from the little flowers of a succulent, taken at very close range. They’re numerous and at the height of their powers. A long away from the rigours of summer…

Yes, amazing the heat – I do try to get my shadow over the flowers as I feel that the sun desaturates the colours somewhat

  I prefer evening light if possible – much more mellow.

  I agree Sarah, very understated. It’s so easy for shots to blare out at you in this weather and associated light.
