To Capture the Detail Look in all Directions

A few weeks ago one of the blogs I follow had a post about photographing detail. I’m embarrassed to say I can’t remember whose it was 😦 but it struck a chord because I also love to capture detail. I enjoy looking for tiny detail when I travel. So here are just a few of my favourites from the last few years. If the blogger that inspired me reads this I apologice for forgetting your name so please let me know so I can link back to you!

I know this one is odd, it’s a temporary boarding to cover up some building work that they allowed a local class to graffiti, Lyme Regis, Devon.

A garden mirror that I loved but couldn’t afford. I used to do mosaics so maybe one day I’ll have a go at creating my own!

A section of tiling at Amer or Amber fort in Jaipur, Rajasthan. There was a whole room decorated like this.

Mother of pearl inlay on a mandolin.

20th century tiling in the Attaturk museum in Ankara, Turkey.

My notebook that’s all!

A ceiling at Dartington Hall, Devon.

A lamp, Riad Amiris, Marrakech.

Depiction of an ancient jug in the museum of Anatolian civilisation, Ankara.

I hope you like my detail photos, they are a mixed bag of ancient and modern from home and abroad!
