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.

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".

This is the camera I used to take this series of photographs at Reliquaire in Latrobe. It is quite incredible to see a store in rural Tasmania that sells such amazing things. I hope I've given you a taste of what it's like to walk through their front door. I'm reminded of Howard Carter's words after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. His patron Lord Carnarvon asked what he could see, and Carter replied, "Wonderful things!"
The Leica company has been making truly wonderful cameras in Germany for over 100 years, and their modern branding of the famous red dot is iconic in camera circles. This little camera (Leica D-Lux 7) punches way beyond its weight in all kinds of light situations - as I hope you have been able to see.
This photograph also marks a milestone for me after five years on Flickr (in what one might call a vexed relationship). Both of us have made it this far, though some of you were here from the very first time the Flickr platform appeared some 20 years ago. Amazing.
It is even more amazing when I checked my stats and found that this photograph marks 10 million views for my page. So a little celebration (though how many of those "views" are bots is still a very relevant question). Which reminds me to invite you to join us at the group Anti-Bots: Real People, Real Photos. www.flickr.com/groups/anti_bot_anti_fake_photo/
Cheers.
A FINAL NOTE
I'm travelling to Melbourne later today for a week. I hope to post a few things during that time, but excuse me if I am absent some days. My mother is turning 90 and we will enjoy a very big celebration.
The spines of these books in the library at Anglesey Abbey makes an intriguing composition. I had a little fun with masking too :-)
