fat blobs
Another shot using my +4 mag filter lens .. I'm a little miffed at the dof as these filters seem to effect the aperture quite a lot. I have no idea why... (anyone??)
This image was done at f/22 believe it or not.
On my next photography shoot, I'll take the +1 filter instead. You cannot physically get as close to the subject but the aperture is far, far less effected.
It's good to play ;^)
ouch!
As I went out with my camera ..... I felt a rush of Xmas and went all Christmassy for this shot! ;)
Taken with my only lens - a 50mm prime - using a x4 mag filter. Nothing more.

big drip
This was the biggest drip I could find - insert joke here - so it was a good job I had a x4 mag filter on the camera!!
Taken somewhere out and about in Cheshire, England.

Dusted off the camera and put on a 4x mag filter today and went out looking for spiders and any cool bugs… found zip! But I did get one or two nice shots of berries, leaves, plants, water droplets, etc… Here is the first pic that I hope you’ll like - there’s even a little evidence of Mr Spider too! I’ll get him next time……

(taken on back in September on the moors in Lancashire, England)
Hello everyone - this is probably my last upload for a while. I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas - all the best to y’all - eat plenty of mince pies and enjoy the turkey! :^)
John 3:16-17
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
Merry Christmas everyone !!!

too nice
I'm really enjoying using Snap Art on my iMac. Really cool piece of software but this image also had help from Exposure app and Apple's Aperture too.
It's fun to play.........

munchies
Lancashire, England.
Taken on a lovely summers day. Hmm well no, it was taken in November believe it or not and the day was gorgeous. Beautiful weather.
The location is geo-tagged on flickr. I love northern England as we have some beautiful rural areas for nice walks :)

burscough
I shot this one alongside a canal walk in Burscough which is a little town in West Lancashire, England.
Processed on my Mac using Snap Art and Apple Aperture. Thanks!
dacre castle
A digital painting I've only just created today from an iPhone shot taken back in August during our road trip of northern England.
This is Dacre Castle in the Lake District - Cumbria, England. A beautiful and majestic part of the world.
I've included 3 links on the flickr page for lots of cool infos about hauntings and the history of this castle that dates back to the 13th century!

creepy crawly
As you can see from the hefty crop, I've not got a macro lens but I still like the end result. It's quite a creepy little spidery thing!
I added in the sun light and flare afterwards to make up for the dull background.....
After taking this, I ran away like a scary girl. Screaming, I was... Quite pathetic! ;^)

barb
I didn't want to simply upload this as is... I thought it was pretty ok but dull as heck too. So I applied some textures and made it look old.
I like it now...!!

big crack!
My latest flickr upload is of Shap Abbey. Taken on a beautiful day in August of this year during our road trip of NW England.
Cropped and processed in Apple Aperture and then textured in PSE9. I then applied a little extra and that frame using PhotoStyler. All in all - a Mac multi app adventure to get the painterly effect!!
Thanks for any comments / hope you like!

big tree
This flickr posting follows on from yesterdays as that barn is just off picture behind that fence... I textured this in photoshop and then tinkered with in Aperture to make it a little more olde or vintage maybe...
Love that big tree! Thanks for viewing.

open door
I found this rural gem on a lovely country walk near Tockholes in Lancashire, England.
Processed it on my Mac using Exposure 5 and then tinkered with some more in Aperture for a few finishing touches. Also added a tad of texture using PSE9 as the sky was boring without.....
All in all, I enjoyed playing to create this! ;)

Christ church
I shot this picture along Parbold Hill in Lancashire, England. It's looking up, across farmland, to Christ Church Douglas-in-Parbold.
The processing was done on my Mac using Snap Art and then layered and tinkered with in PSE9 with some final adjustments made in Apple Aperture.

bye bye november
Adios to November!
...... but at least you went out in style. Gorgeous day for a nice walk out. So we did just that and then went for a slap up meal at Little Chef. Great day!
Taken with my iPhone 5 in pano mode, of course.
