We had a shooting assignment in my camera club to do a photo series, with some limits. The required limit was using the same focal length in all images. The other one I chose was "in camera double exposure."
I have gone through a lot of emotional ups and downs in the past several weeks, and decided to do self portraits to convey my feelings, emotions and vulnerabilities.
So there are six in the series. I used my Lensbaby Velvet 56, and with each double exposure, I also moved while the shutter was open to create more of an abstract effect. I will be posting them, interspersed with my other posts.
#1 in Self Portrait series

A long-established favourite of the village and last defence from the ravages of the North Sea the pub has felt the wrath of the waves on at least three occasions. The last in the great storm of 1953 when the front was washed away and the fishermen looked on in sorrow as the precious bottles of brew bobbed about on the retreating foam ;-(
Locals will tell you that, until very recently, one had to wait for a retreating wave before making a dash into or out of the bar to avoid getting your feet wet! As the sign says: “In rough weather please use the other door.

Spent a good hour looking for a ladies keys to no avail but we were treated to a lovely sky and she had the most gorgeous Weimaraner.
2 more pics of the fort gate at Fort Canning Park in Singapore. The steps led up to the roof of the structure but there wasn't much of a view from up there.
Groynes are a popular form of sea defence on the Norfolk coast. Coastal erosion is a particular problem in Overstrand and along the North Norfolk coast. Predictions of future sea level rise due to climate change are only likely to exacerbate this.
Only 4 in my theme this week Defences. In defence of our freedom Battle of Britain Flight at Airbourne Air Show, Eastbourne, Eat Sussex, UK. Taken from Beachy Head in 2012.
With a few exceptions, high rise offices and skyscrapers in Paris have been confined to the area of La Defence on the edge of Paris City Centre. Much like a Parisian Canary Wharf. This is the view looking up the Av. de la Grande Armee onto Av. Charles de Gaulle. The modern Grande Arche can be seen between the skyscrapers at the end. With the Arc de Triomphe at this end (where the photo was taken from) this makes an Arch at either end. I took a few hand held shots here and this was the sharpest without the use of a tripod. It was pretty windy at the time as well.

I thought the strong vertical stripes and the street furniture, made for an interesting abstract composition, I had previously processed this in colour, but think it works really well in mono?
Its actually a ventilation shaft for the Paris RER line :)

Ive. One from NEOWISE night. Not the best detail in the shadows as it was going dark by then, and I was perched on the sea defence like an evil troll, I.e. no tripod. Anyway, I still quite like it. Happy Tuesday!
