Part of a photograph I took yesterday at Lakeside Country Park. Wasn't happy with the overall picture, so I kept the bit I more or less, liked, and played around with it, till I did like it.

(Nothing to do with photography really!)

This moth was sitting on my flyscreen one morning. Of course I had to photograph it and do some creative editing. A few of my photographs from some old art works of mine.

Clothes Maketh the Woman

17 elements used for this compilation with added crackle/cracked earth brush strokes and reduction in saturation.

For one of my small competitions, I was looking for 'repetition.'

I went out to photograph the aurora. I got to a place I haven't been to in a while. The aurora were out but the moon was almost full and it was cloudy. I had to view a map to see what direction I was looking. This photo was neither of the moonlight or aurora, but likely town lights instead.

For the weekly Camera Craniums competition, we have to submit a photograph of jewellery, custom or other.

I spent some time 'designing' posh looking, high class 'Sparklers,' all based on a pair of Art Deco clips I found in a charity shop some years ago. (Paste, not real jewellery, but I love the design.)

Now I do not know which photo to enter, as I quite like the original clips, on the red Pashmina, but the 'Tiger,' and the brooch look more like proper jewellery.

Decisions, decisions!

The girls have taken over a very nice hotel.

This abominable weather, has spurred me on to play with my doll again.

I'm off to Holland for a fortnight from the coming Wednesday.

Looking for an entry for the CC competition ('Over the Top'), I spent all morning in town hoping to shoot what I had in mind. Sadly I couldn't find anything suitable.

So, when I was playing around with 'Swanny,' I remembered a shot of a swan I made earlier in the week, and decided to combine the two.

Might enter this one.

This one is for Inna (nomilknocry~oH!), my young friend in Bandung.

Inna, I promised you a picture of these two, but at the moment I cannot find the puppets, so I edited an older picture.

This actually makes them look better, so I may leave it like this!
