Forgotten Shed

Good pic....... but it isn't a shed.......it is the remains of a WWII ANDERSON AIR-RAID SHELTER as issued to thousands of homes at the beginning of the War. They were supplied in kit firm fir householders and friends to assemble, then part bury in a back garden.....You have recorded the rusting remains of an important bit of modern history.

An alternative Shelter was supplied to homes lacking a garden, this was the .....MORRISON SHELTER...built from steel angle and heavy duty wire mesh, it serves as a very ugly dining table.....both saved thousands of lives.

Thank you both, I much appreciate, and fully agree with your comments and observations.......yes, my intention was to receive thoughts on what the DIY Diffuser has achieved as far as the lighting goes.

Yes! Perhaps I should have thought more about the Composition, the skin on the fruit is indeed exceptionally shiny, had I not used the diffuser I feel I might have had problems with glare?

I am still experimenting with what my Home-made Diffuser can do, I have proved that it is excellent for outdoor Macro Photography......but the weather remains so cold there are very few insects about.

The portraits are fine, but I don't remember many city kids wearing country caps like that, usually it might be a balaclava, a school cap or just a short back and sides haircut.

FROM A WET BUS WINDOW

THANK YOU.......all:

Yes, as soon as I spotted that blue umbrella entering Stage Right, I sensed it would be something soecial......it is a wonder the shot succeeded at all, the winter afternoon light was fading fast, a real storm was blowing and the bus window was absolutely streaming......Nothing ventured, nothing gained......as they say.

All I did by way of Post Processing was to clone out the shallow diagonal of the bus window frame bottom right, then use a slight Topaz filter to saturate the colours ever so slightly.....otherwise, it is......As-taken.

A fantastic bit of processing......a great shot.....but.....isn't it sad when a local authority can completely ruin the scene with totally out of place, ugly litter bins?
