A normal and a mostly desaturated photo of a poor, old 58 Chevy. I desaturated everything else but only partly desaturated the car. I will let this be my Slider Sunday photo. The other is in Comments. I don't know which one I like best.

Anyone that knows me, knows of my huge passion and love for boats, ships and tugs.
The Ku'ulakai is by far my most favorite tug.
This beautiful old girl is being lovingly refit and moored in the historic, fishing village of Steveston.

Sliders Sunday.
Also #91/122 Selective Colour: 122 Pictures in 2022
Another street closed for a work with no workers for a week. A typical Montreal's sight.
This is a church turned theatre. But it looks like Covid-19 closed the theatre for good.
A mild HSS photo. I edited the bg layer to be b&w but left the whatsit coloured. I don't know what the whatsit is called. I want to call it a latch, but that's not really what it is.

The eye catching dazzle design is in honour of the patterns that were first used on vessels in World War One. They worked by ‘baffling the eye’ and making the ships difficult to target. Each ship’s pattern used unique colour and monochrome designs, to avoid making classes of vessels recognisable to enemy U-boats and aircraft.
The Dazzle Ferry ‘Snowdrop’ is operating River Explorer Cruises, as part of the First World War commemorations.
I managed to just catch her as she was leaving Pier Head for her cruise to Wallasey and Birkenhead. I’ve used selective colour in order to make her stand out against the background, being as it was a very dull day.

Saturday Self Challenge: Hangers
Yet another challenging challenge!
After playing around with several other hangers, I decided on our grandchildren's cubby house. With its hanging rings and a monkey bar in the background, there are plenty of opportunities for hanging.
Should have got a grandchild there as well, but they are growing rapidly and dont really use this much anymore.
Here's one way to use an old picture frame. Photograph it, give it a little tidy up in processing, and then use it to frame a garden scene. In this scene I have left the reds at normal saturation but desaturated the greens and yellows. The crabapple tree has sadly lost most of its lovely blossoms after the recent rains.

God says of Israel: I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. Genesis 12:3
Israel Returns to Her Homeland
That brings us all the way back to May 14, 1948. On this day, the United Nations officially recognized the State of Israel, with US president Harry Truman determining the deciding vote. The Israeli government established the State of Israel, thus fulfilling the twenty-five-hundred-year-old prophecy recorded in the Bible. Great Britain ended its mandate in Palestine and removed its troops, leaving more than 650,000 Jews to govern themselves in their own land.
In 2006, for the first time in nineteen hundred years, Israel became home to the largest Jewish community in the world, surpassing the Jewish population in the United States. From the 650,000 who returned when the Jewish state was founded in 1948, the population of Israel has swelled to over 9 million people in 2021. The significance of Israel’s reemergence in her ancient homeland is that this had to occur in order to set the stage for the final fulfillment of biblical prophecies.
To comprehend what an incredible act of God it is to preserve the beleaguered Jews throughout history and then return them to their land, consider this observation by Gary Frazier: “You cannot find the ancient neighbors of the Jews anywhere. Have you ever met a Moabite? Do you know any Hittites? Are there any tours to visit the Ammonites? Can you fvind the postal code of a single Edomite? No! These ancient peoples disappeared from history and from the face of the earth. Yet the Jews, just as God promised, returned to their land.”

The forget-me-nots will be finishing up with their season soon. This little patch is a combo of blue and white ones mixed together. I chose to do a slight selective colour edit with this one. I like the simple outcome of it. Also, it was an easy edit to do...haha. Keep it simple I say. :D
I loved this engagement shoot in the howling wind in Howth, Co. Dublin and the bride to be in her red coat!
I just let my imagination run with this one. I saw a tutorial to do something similar but with a desert landscape, but I rapiddly ditched the tutorial as it wasn't working for me.
It was a combination of loads of ideas I've had, all of which were essences of photos, but none the subject.
I combined my ideas of:
phone boxes selective colour.
tron.
starry night sky
something in the misty/foggy (I originally thought gorillas, but you don't get many gorillas in birmingham).
I learnt the wonders of adjustment layer masking with clipping masks doing this. so well worth it :)
Looks great on black (hit L)
A wonderful scene on a house in a nearby village.
I was greatly amused! Apparently the owners let the village children post their letters to Santa there too.

This is the result of a very random idea I've had kicking around for some time, that kept niggling at me and just wouldn't quit.
It didn't come out exactly how I envisioned it...they very rarely do!... but It's taught me a few new nifty processing tips along the way...

Just Josie now on Facebook and tumblr Feel free to drop by and say hi! :-)
Now this is something unusual for my page. The addition of selective colour. Whilst this page is committed to monochrome, I thought in this one instance it might be nice to see how beautifully decorated this old and perfectly preserved fairground organ is.
The Page & Howard fairground organ dates from the late 19th century. Before electrical power was available, these mechanical organs were driven by steam. Though Page & Howard was an English company, this fine example is inscribed with the German phrase, "Heller stern aus der Süden," translated: "Bright Star from the South".
