"Great colours, lovely rust on the corrugated iron. I hate to sound like a noob, but what is Spanish Moss, is it that grey coloured foliage ?"
"Thanks JA, I didn't use any effects though, these are as shot, although I must admit that the picture of wheels does look as though it's had HDR applied to it."
"Thank you Wendy, yes, the Dockyard is up and coming. Lots of regeneration going on around it, but so far, it' hasn't lost its atmosphere."
"Lovely old mellow brick colours, gorgeous"
"I love churchyards too, I always thought that I was a bit weird too because of this Great lichen on the gravestone."
"PS I've added them to my flickr site so that you can better appreciate the decaying goodness"
"These photos were taken at Chatham Dockyard, which is very close to where I work. I often walk around there during my lunch break, as the love the ambience of the place. It's used as the backdrop for quite a few films, the latest being Sherlock…"

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
