Focussing on Strobilos



I always carry my camera with me but days go by without taking it out of my bag, so an afternoon out and about with the H3a photography group is a great excuse to focus on anything and everything to try and capture a good shot.  99% of the time I don't produce a single photograph worth looking at twice but the good company, brisk walks and local discoveries make for a good day out. On Wednesday we were at The Termera Resort in Aspat taking shots of the newly restored 13th Century Byzantine bathhouse at Strobilos and the seaside sculpture park.


It was an overcast day but we all had fun catching different angles. The island in the background is Kos which shows just how close we are to the Greek coast. 



And back home, in front of the computer, more fun can be had playing with photoshop to turn a dull snap into a moody image.
