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.
I know I have been a bit slack lately regarding my posting. The Christmas holiday has kept me very busy with other stuff and I missed my ‘Sepia’ shot again this week. I think I will be forgiven when you see what I have been busy doing. I got my new camera for Christmas and we have had the most glorious frosty weather, so today Mo and I went out so I could take photos with my new camera.
We went to one of our favourite spots and what we saw took our breath away! Unlike snow, that leaves a covering of white over everything, frost makes everything white all over. There was also a light fog which just made everything look really lovely. Just look at these photos.
When we first arrived it was very weird and I was disorientated. It took me a while to see things as they really were.

The little black square that looks like it’s floating in air, in the photo above, is the water level marker. As I got closer and changed my view, it became clearer and I was in total awe. The water was so still it looked like glass.
I can’t believe that these photos just came straight off my camera, and I didn’t need to even open Photoshop! I took a lot more photos that I will be posting at some time.
I think I am pleased with my new camera :O)
Lately I have been posting photos that I took on a walk we took a few weeks ago. These photos were also taken on that walk. I took about 150 photos that day, so there are plenty more left.
I loved these very tall trees. They looked beautiful against the blue sky.

AWARD
I was given this lovely ‘Super Sweet Shots Award’ by Paz’s New York Minute
Thank you so much Paz and I’m sorry it took so long to post. It was a lovely surprise!
This is a photo taken a few years ago, when we had a lovely snow fall. I turned it sepia using ‘Colour Variations’ in Photoshop, until I got the desired colour. I then burnt it out a bit to make it look old and faded, using ‘Level’ and altering the highlight slider (on the right) to bleach out the snow colour. added a layer and brushed on the outer shaded bits. Once I was satisfied, I ‘flattened’ the image.
If you click my ‘Snow’ category link, you will see the original photo, that Mo took.

I’m sorry but I still haven’t fixed my sidebar widgets, I have been so busy. I will do them very soon, then my blog will be as good as new :O)
This is my contribution to the new photographic theme ‘Sepia Scenes’ I took this in the summer and used it for a SkyWatch photo. I tried to make it look a bit old too.
As promised, these are a few shots taken on our day out last Sunday. I thought the first one was very fitting for SkyWatch. This is the same reservoir that I have photographed before, but from a different angle. I loved the way the sunlight was twinkling on the water. This certainly is a beautiful time of the year.

There will be more shots from this walk coming very soon.
