I thought this would make a good photo for this meme. It’s another that I took while experimenting with my new lens. Actually, I think I’ll be experimenting for a while yet!

Stumble it!Sepia Scenes – Vintage
I loved the effect of this photo. I used a Photoshop Action that Lee of Tarheel Ramblings guided me to. There are two sets of actions at The Pioneer Woman’s briliiant photography blog, and they are totally free to download and use. I used the ‘Vintage’ action here and was pleasantly surprised by it. I like to play around and experiment myself, but sometimes it’s just nice to simplyfy the process.
Again, I’ve posted the original to show the full effect of the action.

Ruby Tuesday – Sign
There is a little village, just up the road from us, called Bolsterstone. It’s a beautiful old village, and as luck would have it rather fitting for this weeks Ruby Tuesday.
This is the Village Hall. A lovely building, spoiled only by the ridiculously placed cable – workmen!
Specially for Ruby Tuesday – the sign.
Below is the beautiful church. The whole village is unspoiled, and the houses are built with the same old brick, including the fantastic pub!

Sepia Scenes – Reversed
This is an old photo, turning sepia through age. I have reversed the process of the meme for this post.
It’s a photograph of my parents wedding. You can see how badly damaged it is. I can’t imagine how it got in that state. Somebody had stuck it to a piece of paper and tried to draw in the parts that were missing. I decided it was worth trying to salvage, so I scanned it in to Photoshop and went to work.
Here you see the original photograph, and below is the photograph after working in Photoshop. They are both enlargeable if you click them.

I lost my blog!
I lost my blog the other day, and I have been working hard to get it all back. I managed to retrieve most of it, but lost some photographs. I re-uploaded them today. You will notice that my widgets also disappeared. I will put them back over the next day or two and hopefully I won’t miss any out.
Sorry if any of you visited whilst it was all messed up.
Wordy Wednesday – Who lives in a house like this?
This was a photo on a birthday card my sister received. I can’t begin to imagine the creepy crawlies that live in there! We were once going to buy a house that had that all over the front. If we had, we were going to get it all cut down, at least a week before moving in, to give the insects and spiders time to run far away! We didn’t buy it in the end, and I was a bit glad about that :O)

Ruby Tuesday – My Guitar
This time I have posted photos of my electric guitar for Ruby Tuesday. I went to post this last week but had to change it for an autumn photo, and ended up with the title ‘Electric Guitar’ and a photo of a tree! I’m sorry for any confusion caused ;O) I love the sparkle of sunlight on the second photo.

An autumn walk
Mo and I went for a walk today, at our local reservoir. It was a perfect day for a walk. There was a nip in the air, yet the sun was warm. The autumn leaves made a lovely brown carpet underfoot and people were collecting conkers and filling carrier bags.
The sun was shining on the water and sprinkling it with light. It really was far more beautiful than my point and shoot camera managed to capture.
We took some bread to feed the ducks. Unfortunately someone else had just fed them all, so they wouldn’t come close enough for me to get any interesting photos.
Except maybe this one. They looked like they were leaving behind a trail of fairy glitter.
PhotoHunters 129 – View
This is the view through my bedroom window. I love looking out for a few minutes each day. The lovely forest to the right and fields to the left. Sometimes I can see the sheep, or cows in the distance.
