Ow!!!

I decided that as it seemed to be mostly blue skies I decided I would go for a walk.  I wore my heavy coat, so if I got caught out I would mostly stay dry ... brilliant, except for half way round the 10mins of wet was hail stones, not rain.  So I now have a cold, and sore scalp!  Oh well, I shall thaw out.

One of the competitions today for Photocrowd was that of photo manipulation. That is a rare competition, so decided to have a go, and thought I would share the before & after with you for something different -

Shall I point out which was the original, or let you guess!!





So that was a great excuse to stop the spring cleaning I was doing this morning! So what with both of those, as well as some basic shopping I had quite a busy morning. Now I am going to do this and then do some knitting while I watch a DVD ... I have started a re-watch on Blakes 7 . But before I do that I will get the questions done before I switch off the computer for the rest of the weekend -


13. Do you work harder with or without supervision?

With - I can get so easily distracted otherwise

14. Are details more your thing or do you prefer focusing on the big picture?

Depends on what/why/when. Mostly I like the big picture over-view, and sort out the details as I go


Well I think that's me up to date with you all. So will sign off till Monday - Hope you all have a good weekend x

It sounds like the weather we had. I was so happy to finally see some sunshine, so I went out too, and was also pummeled by hail! I'm sorry you caught a cold though!

Oh, I would have really enjoyed that competition! I had never heard of that site until this post. Do you have to do all of the competitions there? My creative motivation has been hit and miss the past couple of years, but I'm hoping it will return to what it used to be.

Photocrowd is good in that you don't have to enter, you can join for free (as I have) and in that free membership you can enter up to 3 competitions a day. I will admit I tend to use old photos - but do the weekly photo challenge at photo_scavenger (here & LJ) and do take the photo each week

This is where I am doing my Friday challenge, although sometimes it's a bit more snap-shot than photography

I might look into that. It sounds interesting. I just did a search for photo_scavenger and nothing came up. They must be off the search grid.

What I post on here is also very snap-shot-y. This doesn't seem like a site for full effort photography. 😂 So I keep things easy.

I have just seen that it needs updating. Only 2 of the 3 mods are here at DW, we are all on LJ and that is active. But will bring over the prompts soon so that you can challenge yourself, if you don't want to actually post them. But that will give you options, if you want. One of my photos I took last Friday I was actually photographically happy with - https://debris4spike.dreamwidth.org/2429125.html But that is a rare result!!

I just joined it. I couldn't find it. Maybe it's not that active because it's not findable here? You should let it be findable in tags. I'll try to do some! :)

I am just bringing over some other photos to share here (ooopps, I got lazy!)
