Muddy Bikes


Yesterdays' walk around a part of the coast where I live, brought me upon a wonderful sight. This small mountain of tangled and mud encrusted bikes had been dredged from the bottom of Marine Lake (New Brighton) which is being redeveloped.


I had seen them heaped up whilst still in the lake. I was so disappointed at the time not to be able to get close enough for a good shot due to the security fencing. I was delighted then to happen across them again, now relocated to the bank of one of the dips*.









My camera has been playing up for some months and although OK at these resolutions, they are not as sharp and in focus as I would like them to be. I am currently methodically going through different permutations of settings and hardware to try to pinpoint the problem. Is it me, or the camera/lens?
I had forgotten how much fun it is, to just mess about in Photoshop.


*The dips are large rectangular grassed depressions sited along Kings Parade. These were created when earth was removed to create the embankment and sea defences in the first half of the 20th Century.
