magpie eye

Magpies are European birds that have a reputation to steal shiny things. I sometimes think I have a “Magpie eye” as I’m often attracted to photograph anything shiny, sparkly, silver or gold.

Whether its a piece of jewellery or sequins on a scarf or glitter or sparkles on the water; I'm all over it with my lens. These golden stairs and handrail caught my attention, as I walked into the tube the other day.

What do you notice today that is gold or silver and sparkles & shines? Please share what your "Magpie eye" sees.

I so love these photo prompts, these moments that challenge us to either go into our archives and share something we've shot previously, or grab our cameras and go out into the day with these new ideas in mind. Thank you for this beautiful opportunity for all of us readers to share our own images as we continue to be in awe and inspired by the Shutter Sisters...

Here is a shiny shimmery moment from my archives:

Colors of any sort. I especially love when I try shooting something and it goes completely wrong and the result is just plain wonderful.

During the winter, I'm looking for sparkles everywhere!

As we played with the bubble machine, I noticed that the light was putting some serious sparkle in the bubbles!

The sparkle of the water drops when it rains always catches my "magpie" eye.
