Post 10- Ten weeks into Lockdown

We have now been in lockdown for 10 weeks and it seems we have many more weeks to look forward to. We can now travel further away from home to take our exercise but with no public toilets open we are still bound to stay close to home. The weather has been excellent so we have been able to spend a lot of time outdoors but this week saw a return to the more normal wet and windy weather.

I have taken very few new images recently but have been revisiting ones from my archives and giving them a new treatment. The following set of images is an example of the use of overlays to transform the mood of images.

This set shows three different treatments again through the use of overlays.

Most of our exercise walks have been on the roads around our estate but we now have the chance to travel a little further and have discovered some new local footpaths and wooded areas.

I have also been experimenting with close up photography of insects. Surprisingly the damselflies were in our own garden pond and seemed happy to pose for me.

 All in all this has been a very productive period but it will be nice to get out and about a bit more.
