201/365 - Fuscia

I seem to be having a phase of messing in PS3 & LR rather than trying to take a killer shot. Here's today's effort - don't ask me what I did - I just played and stopped when it looked about right! (To me anyway). :D
 
Catch up time Dave, I see you are having a flower moment now and for all the playing in PS your shots are still excellent Mate, keep up the good work. ;)

Cheers Alby, lost my mojo a bit again. Probably finger fatigue after taking all those shots at the airshow the other day! :lol:
 
I like todays, and sometimes a little bit of TLC in PP can make a :shrug: shot into a :thumbs: shot like today :)

205/365 - Another flower filler shot (that's what happens after drinking 8.5% beer!). Love the bokeh on this :D

Shot with Nikkor 28mm f2.8 AI-s (I :love: this lens!)
 
It's Fluidman from The Impossibles (that 70s Hanna Barbera cartoon show) :D Very imaginative Dave. :thumbs:

207/365 - Fort Rowner. I've been driving by this place for two years meaning to photograph it. Unfortunately it's behind a bloody great fence and is inside the grounds of HMS Sultan so this is the only view you can get. I'd love to get in their sometime to see the inside, apparently open days are held every so often.

From the web:

The five forts, with a supporting battery, were built between 1853 and 1863 on the western side of Gosport to protect Portsmouth harbour from an invasion force attacking from the land. They have a low profile and are disguised by earth and grass banks. They were constucted at the same time as the Portsdown Forts to the north of Portsmouth and Fort Fareham.The 3 main polygonal shaped forts, all with circular keeps and 83 guns, are Fort Brockhurst, Fort Grange and Fort Rowner. Fort Elson and Fort Gomer at the north and south of the line were smaller with only 30 guns. The forts were all protected by moats, although Fort Grange's moat has been filled in.
 
We drove past Fort Cumberland today, it's English Heritage, open once a month I think, so we will have to check it out sometime. Love these forts too ;)
