I am still tinkering away creating submerged floral images and thoroughly enjoying myself. Lots of people have been in touch asking questions, pretty much every day, with numerous requests for a tutorial, despite this being a fairly new thing for me. On looking online, I found very little in the way of resources to help us learn how to create submerged floral photos, so I have decided to create a tutorial which will be available in the coming weeks. I have already created 45 slides for the tutorial and taken a few video clips which I am in the process of learning how to put together for a presentation. I have managed to create very simple videos and have started a Youtube channel which I will be adding to as and when I can manage.
My first mini videos are on there now. This mini video accompanies theis blog as it shows me creating submerged flower photos for Ostara

Today is Ostara - Blessed Ostara everyone
These images were photographed specifically for Ostara, which is a pagan celebration of the start of Spring, my images here celebrate Ostara, with the promise of new life, new blooms and warmer days to come. Daffodils are often associated with this festival and here they are depicted coming out of the darkness of winter and into Spring, a time promising the warmth of sunshine, new life and abundance. I created a set using a nest with eggs and spring flowers frm my garden, plus some deceased butterflies that I had as photography props. These are all elements associated with Ostara
I used the colours associated with this celebration, green, yellow and white for this series.
