A Sunday by the Seaside

I am so glad we went to the seaside on sunday. Got a lot of fresh air, and although it was quite bracing it was wonderful as we got a little sun and no rain until the drive home again.

Shingle Street. Probably one of my favourite beaches. I love the sound the waves make on the shingles and it's usually quite empty.

 Treasure. All the shells have perfect holes for hanging. The cats are very interested.

 The other side with the Beacons.

A soldier by the seaside - although this never happened. Apparently the Germans had planned an invasion here... but for some reason they didn't in the end. Just as well.

 Orford. One of my favourite places. Again, it's quiet but with a lovely cafe and a place to buy nice fish. :-)

The harbour.

Some photos shot with my camera and a Lensbaby lens. And below (just because) an American Horror Story version of the pictures. LOL

Forbidden Memory

This was an experiment with my Lensbaby soft focus lens last week on a 'camera walk'. The more I worked on it (in Photoshop) the more it reminded me of the trailer of The Walking Dead (one of my all time favourite series). The combination of the imagery (barbed wire, viewer hidden in the trees) and the textures and soft focus made me think of those memories we can't bear to look at directly, but only sideways and with a squint, hence the name.

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Grunge and emotion added in with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes, Society6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go to Bluecanvas). You can now also get most of my images on cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).

Experimenting with my new camera and the Lensbaby Composer lens. It's raining today and I've got a cold so going outside to play was not on. :-( However, I am really pleased with how this set turned out. They are the things I see daily when I look around sitting at my desk. I spared you the mass of papers and other debris collected around my desk space. :-)

In a way this is a self portrait through the things surrounding me. Little things. :-)
