LR-16220_8_16221_8_16222-PS - The population moaned and groaned when Southern water requested planning permission for a waste water treatment plant in 1993 the same year the pier was demolished. A pier (one of three) had stood on the site since the 1860's citation. The development of area to the east of the pier has included a haven/harbour and associated fishery opposite the cascade. To me the whole area is a vast improvement opening the shore side for visitors and residents alike to enjoy. Pleased the Isle of Wight padding pool is staying currently, slightly disappointed the roller rink has gone, but not sure I could still roller skate any ways :)

20 years on, tall stories!
Bring Me Sunshine !
LR-16257 - One for the Fifty shades of grey candid's set. Sat in the Met having a spot of lunch with Mrs R, had to wait forty minutes (which they did tell us) before our food would arrive. Happened to have the camera and my collection of 42mm's so had a good play with those whilst the sun was out. So counting down minutes before the food was to be delivered took some shots out the open door mainly for the railings (#TW4) and then a bonus arrived in the frame, bracing a slight breeze and to me looked like those words were coming out his mouth :)

LR-16295 - A shot from the hip of the car park keeper or the keeper of the long stay car park at Ventnor, this time of the year most parking is Free except for Long Stay's and a few selected spots, where they have a high turnover of cars, outside Doctors, popular shops and eatery's.

LR-15944 - Been a bit busy but managed to get a few macro shots in before the sunset, still pretty sharp, but a lovely sunny day, hope yours was to.
The later part of the day was taken up by green behind the lens, this morning I will admit, grey/gray would have been the dominating factor :)

Oh, no, really
LR-15796 - Had a very nice birthday weekend, family and friends with loads of cards and generally relaxing, eating feature probably just a bit to much :)
Thought I would try some more treatments in post processing to see how it went, sort of liked the result in this to recover the exposure issues inside on a grey overcast Sunday.

Emerging
LR-15646 - Been playing around with the Helios 44M for a few days, with and without 42mm extension tubes hand held to keep me amused. Went out with the boys and my son for a wander around the woods on a fairly overcast day and clicked a few bits and pieces as you do, pleased not have a green background to this for a change :)

Washing and Bonfire
LR-15685 - Went out for a meal at a eatery by a lake, shot this through the double glazing as I didn't think I would be allowed out to play during meal time (mind you it took 40 minutes for dinner to arrive after ordering, not sure if they used the bonfire to cook on). Added some 'Aged' in Lightroom 4.3 and darkened the over exposed sky a little.
Version II, removed harsh white house, original posting below
Hope you had a good Saturday to :)
