Of course, the sun was already up but I just wanted to attempt a little sunrise - in photoshop!

I'm always on the lookout for something new and cool to play with. Over the weekend, I stumbled upon Topaz Detail and installed it as a plugin for Apple Aperture 3.

This piece of software looks really nice and this pic is my first attempt. Comments welcome :)

Anyone else using plugins for Apple Aperture ?

With this upload I thought I'd have a change from all the textured images. So here is a simple cropped photo with a little gaussian blur thrown on a layer :)

Made in PSE9 and Aperture 3 on my iMac.

After a week - long illness, I finally feel bothered to make a flickr posting! It's been a rough week...

Hope you like this shot into the sunlight at Farleton Knott, Cumbria. I used textures blurred which helped somewhat on the rocks.

All done on my iMac using PSE9.

Via Flickr:
On our way home from Farleton Knott, we pased through a little country village and I spotted this incredible church. Converted it to b/w and textured… I'm going to visit this place again when I've more time. Looked really nice - camera on standby! :)

I've more to come but at a later date as I want to continue on now with the shots from Farleton Knott. Just needed a break! ;-) I've still loads left to tinker with. :-)

I've only just realised that I've not updated this photo blog of mine for ... well... a very long time!

So, here is the very last image i worked on last year. Taken in the country village of Burnsall, England and processed in Adobe Photoshop Elements on my iMac. Hope you like it?

Thanks for viewing. Comments and questions always welcome.
