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!
A first visit for me to East Anglia last year to capture something new and did plan a revisit for this year which currently not able to do a visit here again is definitely on my list.
A long exposure of almost 7 minutes with a 16stop firecrest filter, sea mist was coming and going and having black and white in mind for this particular image leaving the compulsory seagull or 2 which these days seem to be captured and so long as they are not too blurred will leave them in.
Being my first visit didn't quite time the tide correctly as the sea defences were getting covered by the high tide quickly, also a slightly unusual crop as I didn't have long enough to gauge positions this one being the better of the images captured.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Been a while since I've posted a Perch Rock image.
With the promise of high cloud and the light already really nice a couple of hours before sunset I decided to pop up to New Brighton.
(Preparing to keep back the sea at Seaford before the winter storms and tidal surges - will this work....)
