Scavenger Hunt Sunday...

Texture...
I decided not to add a texture to an image, but rather go for something that
had a few different textures in it, so here's a velvet background with a necklace of metal
and smooth round beads.  The necklace was a present from my friend Cath
 - I've not had a chance to wear it yet.

Fog...
A bit tricky this as all week there hasn't been a sign of fog!
I got round it by asking David (nicely) to walk down a country
road in Northants whilst I took his photo, 
then converted it to b&w, 
then added a graduated fill layer of white
and adjusted the opacity and, voila, home-made pea-souper :O)

Button...
I was thinking about a button as in shirt button etc, but then 
decided to go with the interpretation of button as in badge.  Here
Posky claims his rightful award of Prince of Cats
(It's a badge from the Royal Shakespeare Company - my cats are
nothing if not cultured) :O)

Beverage
Taken on my android phone at the RSC this morning.
(Mine's the black,
David's is with milk - 
and it was excellent coffee).

I admitted defeat with 'Seventies', just couldn't get my head around it at all, apart from wondering if I should ask David to dress up as either Mark Bolan or David Bowie.  There are limits to even his levels of co-operation however...

    I love how you recreated that pea soup scene - I would never have realised that it was a set up - great job. I really like how you processed your beverage shot - nice texture in the background of that one aswell.

    I actually love what you did for your FOG shot! If not for me being lucky enough to catch what I did out the window earlier this week, I wouldn't have had anything at all. :)

    Until he shaved his moustache off David could have done a very good Freddie Mercury impression - I never did get a shot of him dancing around with a hoover singing 'I Want to Break Free'... :O)

I get many more views on my posts than comments, so please if you drop by, stop and say hello. Otherwise I'll start getting paranoid and neurotic, and worry that nobody likes me... sniff sniff...
