Back in 2002, Sheila began using a digital camera. Here are a few of her results of the centres of flowers. Her small Nikon camera was specially suited for these close up photos.

Below Eryngium and a Daffodil

Lily Pattern

 Sheila worked on a series of images using just one bloom of a lily plant in 2004.

A pattern made by Sheila in 2004 and never used.

Here she produced a Variation

This is Lily of Lagona.

Another Variation

Graffiti in Churchill Gardens, Salisbury

10/11/2020

Today was sunny and we went to the park. 

Unbelievably there were no kids skateboarding. One small benefit of the lockdown.

So I took pictures of the graffiti.

Messing about using Fotosketcher

Solent Boats

Lecce Manniquins

Ostuni Passageway

Trees in the Close

This a set of images of concrete cylinders with added extras.

These can be rope, slides, photos, statuettes, rust and so on.

Our Living Room after Magritte has been redecorating it.

Maybe not but it was an interesting exercise in making this image.

Walking On Bubbles

The checkerboard background is a photograph of the new floor in Mount Steward house in Northern Ireland. The people were taken in the streets and the bubbles were made in Photoshop.

The Sacrifice

The checkerboard here was from a photograph taken in Dublin's City Hall

Rock form found on Orkney

Grassmere Twist

This Grasmere in the Lake District.  The top version is derived from the one at the bottom using Flexify 2 Rind1 filter. The original photo was made from two pictures blended. One was infra red and the other a normal coloured photo.

The Floods Will Come

The floods will come as these photos show. Taken under a bridge today. My feet did not get wet.

A busy day. Morning the U3A Extra class kept is busy until after 1pm by the time we had put everything away.
So a modest set of pictures. Two of Lungwort now at its best although small and a apline stonecrop that is a gorgeous red at present.
I used the kaleidoscope on two of these pics.

Three Photos and Seven Images

Only went into the back garden for todays images. I took 3 photos in all. Two of wet paving slabs and one of a rather dead bird feeding house. I then set off to show how wet these were and then go on to use various filters to "improve" them further. Well when all you have are rather dull images you have to try out something special.

This has Burnt Edges filter


This used Jig Saw Puzzle filter follwed by Mura Meister's Random (v-line) Spiral filter

This straightforward.


I applied the Cracks filter here.

Here I used Pixel Trash filter.


AND finally the Tiny Wet House. The small house that was only ever decoration. Birds disdained it totally and who can blame them?
