After smashing our trusty Nikon D90 last month, i’m still trying to get used to the new Settings and Things on the replacement, a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. Apparently i need to read the manual, go figure 🙂
The Nikon would allow me on the automatic setting to get the most beautiful daylight shots that showed texture, true colour and fine detail. The Lumix does fantastic close-ups on several settings, but the light effects are not the same. I suppose i should be thankful though that testing it doesn’t ‘waste” film, HA.
So, with 4 different settings (that i of course did not take note of), here’s “Sotto voce” again with different looks. None of them portray it properly, so i guess that’s this evenings reading, and tomorrow’s testing on the to do list.
And those green dots are coming off, changing to the tawny fox and peachey colours instead. I have a few things more to do to it, and then it gets mounted, hopefully for a virtual exhibit. (If anybody from the fibre group i’m in ever answers my emails and FB questions that is………………………………….)
albedo too 
Please consider keeping the green dots. Think of them as the spice that pulls the whole dish together.

Maybe it’s just the way the grain is–velvet is so slinky and light playful!

Hi Arlee : I have wanted to comment for some time on how much I admire your work, & your honesty. You are an inspiration, much as Jude Hill is. To illustrate my point, I just ordered two of your bundles and I am excited to see them as I just recently started natural dying myself.
Thank you for what you do and sharing it with us.
Best, Louise Brown
