BOATS

Morning all

Started the day with some lovely editing work and I was very well "chuffed" with the results in all. The first two are some picture postcard style work from Pinn Mill. Anyone on the East Anglian peninsular will know the place, and any photographer will tell you of the wonder the coast line and rivers allow you to have.

Never get bored, and the rising tides allow you to get an indiual shot each time the sea goes in and out! the first one above was edited for colour and tone and of course the crop to change the focus of the eye. the one blow is edited for tone and I wanted it to have a slightly different feel to the other boat edit.

And finally we have an interesting portrait taken by "Mrs G" all in all it works wonders with the tones and the light, and in respect to G's wandering forest ways ythe colours were used in an effort to make to picture slightly more etherial!

EDITING (other people niceness)

Often a good source of fun can be the editing phase of photos, a friend of mine asked me to edit some of his digital photography, and I managed to remember the joy of crop, rotate, and colour matching! Regarding the changes I was quite happy and my mate should hopefully be to. It helps that you take a good photo in the first place, and I think my friend G does. There is a brief natter on each one, and some notes on the changes made.

The boat was originally an excellent photo but had too much movement on either side of the frame, so a crop and a colour edit to show the blues more. Pushed the pallette as far as it would go yet left the picture looking natural.


The frame is nice and long and highlights the boat, a simple crop and colour edit (to black and white) to highlight the change in mood.

Heavy colour editing and a widescreen favoured view, lovely simple retro boat and the simplicity of the picture was needed to keep the viewer lost in the scene.


The legend that is my mate alone on a bridge, interesting edit as the picture was nice in the first place, cropped the picture and rotated so the base line of the bridge is completely horizontal t0 us, thus makeing the whole scen more interesting with the juxtaposition and tone of the bridge. Also removed colour and highlighted certain tones.


I'm a strong believer that colour confuses industrail shots, and takes away from the intricacy of what you are going for. some crop work and highlighting of tone as well as complete colour removal to highlight the reflection.


Wanted to give the picture an etheral quality that wasn't quite there in the original - Through no fault of the photographer but a rare lens flare that wasn't advantageous. The trick with this photo was to edit and keep it looking natural as possible. Achieved this I believe (some might not though!) and love the clouds have an almost cartoon feel. Like this one, and manged to obtain original clarity looks amazing on as an A2 Print. (Remember I reduce resolutions only for Blogging - all of the prints on the site are available up to A1)Finally the Millenium Wheel taken from a jaunty angle - editied for colour removal - crop, angle, and smokey glaze! Enjoy and keep in touch

Dear All,

Long time posting thanks to those that have been in touch and looked forward to new things. Also thanks to all who have stayed in touch via the film blog, which still goes from strength to strength! Regardless here are some photos undertaken for a local store that tried to capture the spirit of the store. Originally the project was to be a an installation, so the results of the brief are on the blog here!

A nice blend that would look great two meters by one metre thereabouts



The next one is called Misty cheese, hovis vibe meets modern ermmmm cheese!
