My parents were in town the other week, so on a particularly beautiful September Sunday, my mum and I headed to Hyde Park to visit this year’s Serpentine Pavilion. The yearly structure is an event in the architecture world, as well as in the London cultural scene. (I previously wrote about London’s 2013 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion and, I must say, it’s still my favorite one.

It was stereotypically torrid weather yesterday. Drizzle, grey leaden skies and misty foggy damp sunless day! That said, upon walking down by the river in Knaresborough and observing the wonderful subtle blue green dew ladened field in the distance, decided to use it as a backdrop for these turning beach leaves. I use a shallow depth of field to push the background out of focus and simplify the foreground leaves, the light was also turning fast into twilight (about 4pm), so I used a high ish ISO and long ish shutter speed... Blah, blah, blah... The composition was tricky, (as trees tend to be), but I used a long lens to pick out a reasonably balanced branch and evenly spread leaves (in both colour and weight) and attempted to keep a decent flow of space around some key elements. For me the thin delicate branches needed to cut through the soft subtle colours of the field in the distance but I wanted to avoid any heavy strong branches that would spoil the delicate nature of the shot. It was a challenge keeping the leaves sharp so I underexposed at 200 iso but it still came out at one second! I’m very happy at the results here, especially the colour. Some of you may not believe me when I say I didn’t add any saturation at all to this, but if you look at the leaves in isolation you will see the colours are genuine! Anyway, if you fancy joining me and a bunch of other photographers in a key photographic location, take a look at my profile for details...

Here are some Vintage color inspirations I found on Pinterest this week:

At the age of 72, English artist, Mary Delany (1700-1788), began producing a series of 985 extraordinarily detailed floral collages after she noticed the similarity between a geranium and a piece of red paper that was on her bedside table. The realisation prompted her to pick up a pair of scissors and imitate the petals in paper. By cutting minute pieces of paper and sticking them to a solid black background, Delany could build up each part of a specimen, sometimes using around 200 paper petals per flower. She used smaller pieces layered over larger ones to create shading and depth, and sometimes enhanced parts with watercolours. So accurate was the finished result that when her friend Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland, saw Delany’s paper artwork, she mistook it for a real flower. This spurred Delany on to make more collage creations and hone her craft. In the autumn of 1772, she wrote to her niece, modestly stating: "I have invented a new way of imitating flowers." Her stunning works, carefully constructed paper collages, or "mosaicks" as she called them, are a remarkable combination of art and science, often mistaken for watercolours. This is her Pancratium Maritinum, Hexandria Monogynia, Sea Daffodil (1778) Collage of coloured papers, with bodycolour and watercolour, on black ink background Via Kitt McKenna MetaFilter's julen put together a post on the wonderful Mary Delany, an artist in the late 1700's, who created collages, incredibly intimate images of flowers, beautiful and true with a botanist's eye for detail. Click the images for larger viewing. From Wikipedia: Mary Delany (nee Granville) (14 May 1700 – 15 April 1788) was an English Bluestocking, artist, and writer; most famous for her "paper-mosaicks...As a widow, Mary Delany spent a lot of time with the Dowager Duchess of Portland, a close friend. The two shared a kinship in botany, often going out to look for specific specimens. It was during her stay with the Duchess that Mary became acquainted with two well-known botanists of the time Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. This contact with the botanists only encouraged Mary's interest in botany and also created knowledge for which many of her flower paper-cuttings are based on... Continued from Wikipedia: Mary had always been an avid artist, but it was during her marriage to Dr Delany that she finally had the time to hone her skills. She was an avid gardener, something that she shared with Dr Delany, and was also good at needlework, drawing, painting, and cutting paper. Mary is most known for her paper-cutting, "For these 'mosaicks' are coloured paper representing not only conspicuous details but also contrasting colours or shades of the same colour so that every effect of light is caught"[9] In 1771, Mary began to create cut out paper artworks (decoupage) as was the fashion for ladies of the court. Her works were exceptionally detailed and botanically accurate depictions of plants. She used tissue paper and hand colouration to produce these pieces. She created 1,700 of these works, calling them her "Paper Mosaiks [sic]",[10] from the age of 71 to 88 when her eyesight failed her. During this time, Mary made nearly 1,000 of the paper flowers.[11] Continued from Wikipedia: "With the plant specimen set before her she cut minute particles of coloured paper to represent the petals, stamens, clayx, leaves, veins, stalk and other parts of the plant, and, using lighter and darker paper to form the shading, she stuck them on a black background. By placing one piece of paper upon another she sometimes built up several layers and in a complete picture there might be hundreds of pieces to form one plant. It is thought she first dissected each plant so that she might examine it carefully for accurate portrayal..."[12] Mary took great care to make sure that each of her flowers were correct, in number of stamens and petals. She also became so well-known that many donors began to send her flowers to cut.[13] They can still be seen in the Enlightenment Gallery at the British Museum today. Upon her death, "The ten volumes of Mrs. Delany's Flora were inherited by Lady Llanover, the daughter of Georgina Mary Ann Port. Lady Llanover, who died in 1896 at the age of ninety-four, bequeathed these volumes to the British Museum..."[14] When the Dowager Duchess died, George and Charlotte gave her a small house at Windsor and a pension of 300 pounds a year. Mary had become familiar with the Queen Charlotte during her time paper-cutting, and while living in the house at Windsor, became an important part within the King and Queen's lives.[3] The King and Queen were great supporters of Mary's paper-cutting, "The King and Queen...always desired that any curious or beautiful plants should be transmitted to Mrs. Delany when in blossom."[15] Frances Burney (Madame D'Arblay) was introduced to her in 1783, and frequently visited her at her London home and at Windsor, and owed to her friendship her court appointment. Delany, in her eighties at this time, had a reputation for cutting out and making the intricate paper mosaics (collages) now in the British Museum. She had known many of the luminaries of her day, had corresponded with Jonathan Swift, Sir Joseph Banks, and Young, and left a detailed picture of polite English society of the 18th century in her six volumes of Autobiography and Letters (ed. Lady Llanover, 1861–1862). Burke calls her "a real fine lady, the model of an accomplished woman of former times". In the year 1980, a descendant of Mary Delany's sister Anne, Ruth Hayden, published a book on Delany's work: Mrs. Delany and Her Flower Collages, which was reissued in 2000 as Mrs. Delany: Her Life and Her Flowers (British Museum Press)."
