Snapshot Sunday: Fun with Photo Editing
A rose from my garden edited in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 using the “out of bounds” feature.
I’ve been fascinated by the “Out of Bounds” feature in my editing program and have made numerous attempts to get it right. This is the first one that I have been really happy with.

Snapshot Sunday: Ovation of the Seas and a Blogging Break
Ovation of the Seas Hobart 2017
As you read this post Naomi and I will be jetting off to Sydney to begin our cruise to Singapore on Ovation of the Seas. We will be away for three weeks and while we will try to check in to the blogs when we can we don’t really want to buy expensive ships internet for the duration of the voyage so we won’t be posting about the trip until after we return. I have scheduled a few posts to appear while we’re gone but obviously we won’t be participating in challenges and there may be delays in our answering comments.
We’ll be back around the middle of April.

Snapshot Sunday: Explorer of the Seas
Explorer of the Seas, Hobart March 2018.
On Friday I went to Hobart to do some errands. I saw that there was a cruise ship in port and from the chalkboard of a local coffee shop learned that it was Explorer of the Seas. It’s just over two years since we sailed on this ship and only a week now till we set off on our next adventure. I didn’t have my camera with me so as I wanted to practice using it anyway I took this with my phone.

Snapshot Sunday: D’Entrecasteaux Channel
A view from the Channel Highway between Middleton and Cygnet 2009
This is an old photo but it is a view I’m fond of. A couple of times a year at least David and I would drive down the Channel Highway which branches off the Huon Highway at Huonville. In February we’d stop to photograph the scarecrows that were dotted along the road. At other times we might visit the Sunday market at Woodbridge or drive all the way to Kettering where the Bruny Island ferry berths. From there we could drive on to Margate and Kingston or turn around and stop at Cygnet for a coffee on the way home.

Snapshot Sunday: Vintage Car MG
I haven’t posted any car photos for a bit so here is an MG I spotted in a carpark in Hobart several months ago now. I love the bright orange body. When you see all the drab greys on cars these days it does cheer things up. The colour grey seems to be dominating everywhere you go. Nearly every second car you pass on the road is grey. Every home I view on the Internet is grey. You can not escape grey. This orange MG was a welcome sight. I like to wear grey but I sure am sick of it being in vogue in my surroundings.

Snapshot Sunday: Vintage Cameras
David’s parents’ Kodak box camera and our mum’s Agfa.
I was stumped for a good picture today and decided to share this one of two of the cameras that David had in his collection. Both of these belonged to family members. The Kodak Brownie I believe belonged to David’s parents the battered Agfa on the right belonged to our mum. She used it to take photos of Naomi and I as small children. This was actually the first camera I ever used myself. Mum showed me how to hold it and take the pictures. She would change the film for me. I remember that it was 120 film and you would get about 8 photos to the roll. I was probably six or seven years old when I was first allowed to use this camera.
