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!Mellow Yellow Mondays – belicia beacon
I took this photo through the car window. Just as we were passing it, I thought “Mellow Yellow Monday” and quickly snapped!
Just in case you don’t know what it is, it’s a ‘Belicia Beacon’ and they are placed at a ‘Zebra Crossing’. And in case you don’t know what a ‘Zebra Crossing’ is, it’s not where zebras cross the road, it’s where we cross the road. It’s called a zebra crossing because the crossing is a black and white striped area! Now I expect you are going to tell me you knew all that anyway :O)

Mellow Yellow Monday – Fruit
This is our bowl of fruit. It’s not real fruit, it’s imitation. We thought it was very realistic, which is why we bought it. In fact we had friends around once and their little girl attempted to take a large bite of one of the apples, leaving her teeth marks as a permanent reminder to always watch young kids with it in the future.

Sepia Scenes – Blackpool Tower
This is a famous landmark in the UK, called the Blackpool Tower. Blackpool is a seaside town, famed for it’s magnificent street lights. People come for miles around to see them. It’s also known for it’s entertainment. Many well known entertainers perform there regularly. When we moved up to Yorkshire, we just had to go to Blackpool, at least once. It wasn’t really our thing. Too big and noisy, with lots of ‘Kiss me Quick’ hats, if you know what I mean :O)
Anyway, I thought it made a good sepia shot. I did some tweaking around in Photoshop to make it look old.

Mellow Yellow Monday – Times up!
I couldn’t resist this cute little ‘lemon’ timer. Mo buys these at regular intervals as she manages to break them constantly! I think she just likes buying a different design each time.

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.

Yellow Mellow Monday – Painting
This is a painting I did last year. I like the center one with the yellow in it best. Yellow is my favourite colour at the moment.

Sepia Scenes – Farmhouse
I took this photo on New Years day. It was a really frosty day, with a little mist, so we went out to get some photos. I took the photo of this farmhouse especially for Sepia Scenes.
I played around with filters in Photoshop to get this effect so I posted the original photo for you to see the actual view.
The original shot.
Mellow Yellow Monday – Playdoh
Drowsey Monkey has started a new meme called Mellow Yellow Monday. The idea is to post photos that include some yellow. Here is my first mellow yellow post.
This was a game we played over Christmas. I don’t know what it was called but it was like Pictionary, but instead of drawing you made models using Playdoh. It was a hilarious game! Each time you lost, you had a wadge of your Playdoh removed. The team who ended up with a pea-sized piece lost the game!

Sepia Scenes – Lambs
I don’t know if I’m late posting this – I probably am :O) This was taken with my old camera last year but I thought these lambs looked cute in sepia. I can’t tell you how I achieved the sepia, as I did this a while back. After I turned it sepia in Photoshop, I made a layer and used ‘Screen’ to make it bleach out. I then erase all but a few patches of the screen layer.
As always, just click on the logo above for more lovely Sepia Scenes.
