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

Belle was busy defending the nest from the Black Kite invader. It eventually moved on but no doubt will keep returning.
No time for photography this weekend. I have been cleaning up the back garden after the water board did the sewer re-lining. What a mess they left!

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.
Not a great quality image, but what an experience to see a fearless mother rhino defending her baby againts a lioness. Photographed at Welgevonden Game Reserve, South Africa.
I Attempted to capture a unique version of the ongoing battle between Drongo’s and raptors. The opportunity presented itself one day, and I managed to capture the mood of the moment. Although taking many frames of this encounter, only one showed the attack and simultaneous defence.
The sea defences at Torcoss were built in 1979 in response a huge storm when the waves went over the top of the seafront houses causing major damage and the main road that runs parallel to the beach has been washed away a few times causing big transport headaches .Some of the seafront buildings are still under repair from Storms that have happened over the last few years .....Torcross,Slapton Sands,South Hams,South Devon,England
The Monostor Fortress - the largest modern fortress in Central Europe - was built between 1850 and 1871. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neoclassical military monument is a fascinating sight with its huge walls of precisely hewn stone, the 3-4 metre thick earthen ramparts covering the defences and its network of underground passages (kazamata) several kilometres long.
Its monumental dimensions are evidenced by the following figures: The fortress covers 25 hectares, the total area including the firing ranges is 70 hectares, the floor area of the buildings is 25 680 m2 and the number of rooms is 640.
After the fortress was built, it served generations of soldiers of the Hungarian Defence Forces. Its tasks included the defence of the central fortress (North - Komárom) and the control of shipping on the Danube. It was never used in combat and served mainly as a training centre and weapons depot. During the First World War it was used as a conscription and training centre. During the Second World War, the 22nd Infantry Regiment had its headquarters at Fort Monostor, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were stationed there. After the Second World War.
Between 1945 and 1990, the Red Army's Army Group South set up the largest ammunition depot in Central Europe in the fort. With their withdrawal, the military function of the fortress ended forever.
Today the fort is a popular destination with a military history exhibition, Cold War vehicles, a bread museum, a boat exhibition and numerous events.
An image of IIIIIIII at La Defence, Paris, France.
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!
The sea defence on Glen Mooar beach at sunset time. The posts are in zigzag rows down the beach in an attempt to reduce erosion.
Opened by the Queen in 1984, the Thames Barrier cost £500 million to build and spans 520m (1,706ft) across the river Thames at Woolwich Reach, in south-east London.
The Thames Barrier is composed of 10 gates, which are raised monthly for testing. These gates help to regulate the flow of water in the Thames, which is a tidal river all the way to Teddington Lock in south-west London. The barrier stops tidal surges from flooding large parts of London, as well as during periods of high flow in Teddington Weir.

Delicate light and strong winds was what was on offer on this particular evening, I love watching the patterns formed by the waves
Worthing is the 6km stretch of coast between the Yacht Club and Lancing Beach Green. The
large, densely populated town of Worthing is at risk of flooding and overtopping due to the close
proximity of both residential and commercial properties to the beach with the main road, A259,
running parallel to the beach for the whole frontage (Arun to Adur Strategy, 2011). The beach is
mixed shingle sand at +5.7 mOD and a crest varying between 22 m and 40 m with a slope of 1 in
7 to 1 in 10, which flattens towards the beach toe.
