Thanks Gareth. Yes - they are great fun! All the best fun is had under the speed limit too. It's not a fast car really but it's all about not having to slow down for cornersTerrific, dynamic image Lee!
Love the motion blur on the background....gives a real sense of speed!
(Naturally I'm sure you were driving at well under the speed limit!)
You really look like you're having great fun there Lee....and I've heard those Caterhams are terrific!
Great image!
Thank you Mark.
Thanks Dave. It's hard not to grin like an idiot
Thanks Allan.
Thank you Stan. It was a smashing day to be out in her.
Thanks DaveA top shot (top down too) - nice one
Thank you Ian. It's a Caterham Seven series 3. I think I took around 150 shots as I had the camera on high speed continuous. When I saw a nice background when the light looked right, I pressed the remote release. I did that a few times at different settings and then checked them when I got home for the one I was most happy with.That really does look good fun - what's the car?
Great motion blur - how many goes did you have before you either got what you were happy with, or swerved off the road?
As always, thank you all for taking the time to comment.

Week 17 - Light
Well, I had no idea what to do for this theme. Then, in a flash of inspiration, I had a bright idea and I finally saw the Light!

Thanks Chris.
Thank you. It was good fun to do
Thanks Bob. Light is made up of three shots. One of the light bulb switched on, another of the light bulb for the end cap and a third for the daft self portrait. All thrown together in Photoshop Elements.
Thanks Allan.
Thank you for your kind words Ian.

I'm not sure why the link for Waiting was broken. The image seems to be there for me. Maybe a forum thing?Thanks Stan. It was great fun to do. That expression took quite a few shots to get right!That's quite amusing and a cracker of an image.
Wow! Thank you Gareth for your kind words.Creative, funny and very well thought out and processed image Lee!
Your expression is priceless!
Not sure what else I can say....shot of the week!!!
Thank you so much for your very kind words Carl. Much appreciatedThe idea is brilliant, and the execution is too. Creative thinking there Lee! Looks well exposed and well lit too (but I'm no expert on lighting). One of my favourites for the month

Onto Week 18 - Crowded (house).
A bit of fun in Photoshop Elements. Six photos with me in a different location loaded into Photoshop Elements as 6 layers. Then using a layer mask on the front 5 layers, mask off all of the image except me to make a Crowded house.

Hi Lee,
Some of you appear legless.
Clever Take on the Theme well executed. I like the wood powered Telly.

Hi Lee, you've posted some cracking images since my last visit. My favourites are the strange gate for Entrance - which is a real head scratcher! - the second image for Above, as although I like them both and they are clever images, the second is easier on the eye; Hot for the great sense of motion and fun, and Crowded (House), which not only takes the title of one of my favourite bands but is a well arranged and clever idea

Food - Great texture on the apple, lighting good too.
Smooth - Good idea. Personal preference if the middle image purely for the deeper black. Good shot on all.
Above. Must have been a hard choice on which to use there, two lovely detailed shots. can't choose between them myself. details and reflections are great
Great Idea for Light. Good you managed to not have reflections on your glasses. well done

Thank you Allan.Very good take on the theme and quick of the mark too, well done
Thank you for your catch up Andrea. I like Crowded House too. The title came first and the image formed around that.Hi Lee, you've posted some cracking images since my last visit.

Thank you Clive.
Many thanks for your very kind words Chris.
Thank you very much Jim. Much appreciated.
Many thanks for the catch up and kind comments. I hadn't given reflections on my glasses a thought at the time. I guess I got lucky on that one.Food - Great texture on the apple, lighting good too.

Thanks Joan. Give it a go anyway. It was good fun to do!
Thank you Bob. It took me a while to process and then I missed that I didn't have legs on a couple!

Thanks Stan. The youngest is on the left and they (we) get about a minute older as you go around the roomYou are quick off the mark this week, Lee. Clever idea and very creative. Love the positionings and in particular the one on the floor. Are you the eldest of the sextuplets?
The wardrobe is a bit samey but at least getting clothes that fit isn't a problem Thank you for your kind words Gareth. Most of the Lees were quite noisy and unruly!!Marvellous creativity Lee, and exceedingly deft photoshoppery!
My favourite 'Lee' is the one 'shushing' the others....you tell 'em Lee!!
Thank you Carl.
Thank you very much Ian. I apologise - I promise to take a 'normal' photo for this weeks theme.You really need to pack this up now Lee as you're making me feel very inadequate
What a fantastically creative image. Hits the theme perfectly and I love the fun element. Great take and great idea

Week 19 - Decay.
This week has been a bit of a struggle but an email out of the blue gave me some inspiration. These photos are all from the State Bedroom at Clandon House in Surrey. In April 2015 it was pretty much gutted by a fire believed to have been started by an electrical fault in the basement. Whilst there has been significant damage, the National Trust is looking to start to rebuild Clandon House in 2020. As one National Trust volunteer said to me, even though it is quite a state of decay currently, it is the start of a new chapter for the house. The room as it used to look can be seen on this LINK.
