Ignoring the mess ... shame on the council... this is actually a cool pic in b/w. Hope you agree!

pond life, a photo by Steve_Gregory on Flickr.

It's been a while since I did any texturing in photoshop.. So why not here with this quack quack image?

I love the golden tones and these are because it was such a lovely sunny day. Two more ducky shots coming.... ;^)

The beautiful Lancashire countryside in England. Part of my 50mm project too - I'm keeping this lens on. Love it !

For reference see here:

I love the angle, light and dof so much. Great composition.. Ok, enough!

This one is Holy Island in northern England. A wonderful place to visit & we wanna go back!

Another olde from my archives.. but the processing was done today. Completely fake light as I wanted a more "sunset" type image here - although this was probably taken around midday!

Even with my novice photoshop skills, I think I did a good job here... Comments and advice always welcome! :-)

another bug!

another bug!, a photo by Steve_Gregory on Flickr.

This is an old shot from 2010 .. I'm so amazed how well it turned out. I wasn't using a macro lens or even a magnifier - hence the hefty crop!

Nice details, even if I do say so myself :)

parcevall hall

An olde picture I shot not long after getting my SLR ... I'd like to think I could do better now! But I still liked this one.

Thanks for viewing todays uploads :-)

Taken from a rather wild and bushy woodland footpath that ran alongside farmland. I thought I'd try and mix in sepia with this heavy dof pic..
