Things have been a little slow here at Studio Ruby.. I've been afflicted with a nasty bug so haven't had the will or energy to put together another post. So here's one I prepared earlier.. Shots of the Hotel Regina in Paris.. Taken sneakily from the window.. But then I got some gumption and asked to take shots inside .. They kindly gave me permission.. How nice!!
The reflections on the window shots were at first annoying but then realised as a bit of serendipity.. Not having photoshop on the road meant no creative layering of images... But these first couple of window shots gave me an idea which I attempted to harness during my trip.. To varying degrees of success and amusement which you'll see in my Italy and Spain shots.. [if I ever get to them.. still stuck on Paris]
... So about these colours...
Remind You of Something?
Oh Yes ... The ceiling in the Hall of Mirrors

Julie-
It must be wonderful traveling around the world. I am convinced you are a famous photographer, friend.
This hotel is beautiful. Love the colors. I am a vermillion kinda girl.
Have a great week and get better.

I always like the views from 'outside looking in' and these are gorgeous Julie! An truly beautiful hotel.
I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well. Rest...rest...rest sweetie and get better.
hugs from here...
Go Julie- kick that bug away!
Spring is here... well, I mean there.
Maybe you can at least take a nap outside?
Anyone who can take photos like those with their IPad amazes me. Your talent and outlook are things of beauty! Maybe you can figure out how to offer us an online course in photo creativity?
HI Annie
You're too kind.. Actually the shots were taken on my Canon dSLR... I'm afraid the ipad isn't up to the challenge .. xxx
Lovely shots. Love the draperies in that first shot and the wonderful shape of the chairs.
You have such a gift for making everything look so theatrical and elegant.
Hope you feel better soon!
Hi Julie

I love your photography, Julie. I'd love to have a coffee table home decor book photographed by you.
Great shots and (it seems like) a great trip!
I like through-the-windows-looks!
Get well soon!

So sorry to hear you've been ill! Hope you are on the mend soon. The photos are lovely. And I love the feeling the glass reflection creates in the fist photo!
beautiful Julie! love these - you really make me want to go to paris! hope you're feeling better!!!
What sumptuous colours: strawberries and cream with a bit of chocolate, and a stray blueberry or two. Yummy!
what sumptuous beauty - I was thinking it was the hotel you stayed at and I was about to say that Australians really travel in style :)
Wonderful camerawork!
this is where you stayed?!
gosh! I sta at a friends apartment whcih is pretty cool
Julie, what I love about your shots of Hotel Regina is that you've captured something that for me is so Parisian: the particularly warm glow of Parisian hotel lampshades, which so often seem to be in reds, lilacs and purples and golds. Very atmospheric indeed!
All the best,
Michael
