I have been a bit tired of late with the back to school hours, I was getting very comfortable with my lie ins. After editing all evening yesterday I awoke this morning with no pizazz. There was nothing in me today it was like every ounce of creativity had left my body.
In order to revive myself I went off out to Dun Laoighaire. My husband thought a change of scenery would help and the lovely Paul Walsh insisted if I got some nice flower shots I might get going again. So I took their advice and off I went. After just an hour casually taking photos I returned home delighted with my accomplishments.
Along the way I did take a couple of 'flower' shots to please Paul, however I have never been known to shoot landscape or scenery pictures. Some people may go out and take amazing shots of just a bird in flight, or a different view of a statue or whatever people do when they go out photographing a city or town. So I decided on going a little abstract, I took pictures of some inanimate objects, like bins and broken gates. As much as I know the seaside is a great portrayal of our lovely country there are many parts that are hidden. I would not be into street photography as it has become known i.e. shooting people as they sit having a drink etc. I do feel though the shots today represent the normal parts of each town that we look past and ignore. Almost an urban feel with my selective processing and I am happy with the results. And here is one to share......
