Ghostly
I'm really enjoying the versatility of our new Fly Edge textures. I've used them as straight texture without the edges but here I decided that the grungy look would enhance this image. To start with, I roughly cloned some colour into the upper pale section of the...
Bounty
Almost every time I go to the beach I come home with a pocket full of small shells and stones and suchlike. Most of these ones came from a beach near the entrance to our harbour where there are lots of these tiny treasures underfoot. I processed these with textures...
Power Line
Another one of my "out the car window" shots where I've had to do a little "cleaning" of the pesky fence posts that appeared in the raw image -what would we do without photoshop 🙂 This was taken in the early evening light on our way home from visiting family in...
Good Friday shirt
I'd like to show how I did this surreal effect a little later, as I have a few more ideas to realize and don't want to spoil the magic just yet. However, with the addition of just one Flypaper texture and a little color desaturation, the image was pulled together,...
Into the Light

Dream Beach
This is a view towards the wonderful white limestone cliffs at the end of Napenape beach near Cheviot in Canterbury. When we were there it was all but deserted, apart from a woman surf-casting and a small cluster of caravans used by fishermen there wasn't a soul in...
Make-over winner!
This week a texture contest came to an end over at our friends site; Elizabeth Halford.com. We'd like to thank all who entered and add that picking a winner was very difficult. I think, finally it was the mist we liked in this winning farm scene by Christopher Miller...
The Sheep and the Rock
This was taken when I was away on holiday almost a month ago. We decided to explore some of the countryside around the little town of Cheviot where we were staying for a day or so and we ended up on a road leading high into the hills. It started as an ordinary country...
