Thank God it's Friday....oh hang on I was only in work for one day this week! I'm feeling all arty again tonight so black-and-white it is, and still life t'boot.
A trip to Crosby this afternoon and the chance to get a shot of the sea. Using my new filter, this long exposure shows the clouds speeding passed and blurs the sea so as it merges into the sea shore. I had to be careful walking round as the wet sand nearly took my wellies off.
My new B+W 10 stop filter arrived today, and as we went to Liverpool One, I thought that I'd give it try out with a few test shots down at Princes dock. I'm quite pleased with the results, can't wait to get closer to the sea next time, or get to a waterfall, the results should be great.
A nice trip out to the beach at New Brighton, we had a lovely meal in Prezzo before heading across to the sandy shores. All sorts of driftwood had been washed ashore but none as big as this branch. I like how it looks snake like, rearing its head to check you out.
Here's the final photo this week and pearl ring has a new friend....another trip to Pandora, I think Ruth is obsessed, and she has no intention of stopping at just these two beauties, well we all need a hobby!
Here's the penultimate picture of the week, some rough gravel against the smooth, finished, freshwater pearl. I like the rich, earthy colours of the stones in contrast to the iridescent surface of the pearl. Last one tomorrow,
