I'm delighted to be able to share my latest image which caused one sad individual on Flickr to accuse me of copying his work! Its also in answer to Bobs question showing how we create fake mist with just our flypaper textures. My original goal was just to achieve a...

My first cover!
My first book cover, or at least the first one I've managed to find. Although my image (the bird and branches) only makes up a small portion of the cover I'm thrilled! And yes I'll be buying the book and will even read it, might have to read the previous books in the...
Off-Season becomes her
On my recent trip to England I drove to Eastbourne, which is about a 30 min drive east along the coast from Brighton, or as the locals call, 'London-on-Sea' as so many ex-Londoners have moved there over the past 20 years. Eastbourne is the poorer, more sedate...
A new dawn
During the midsummer, having just lost my Internet connection, I discovered I had much more time to get out there and take actual pictures! This was one very early pre-dawn rising, I drove towards the local beach and decided this wheat-field with it's ruined stone...
French farmhouse
This is one of those lucky shots that came about from shooting a blood red poppy field. Its just the horizon, with the foregrounds over-bright poppy field removed. That cloud is as it was, where it was, and I just left it hanging pensively in the corner! From Summer...
Another Flypaper publication!

Sweetheart
A recipe for this one was requested by Debbie over at flickr so I thought I'd do a quick blog entry for anyone else interested. The roses are Cecile Brunner commonly known as sweetheart roses, I love their tiny perfect buds and blooms. I took many photos of them...
Daisy
Paul is away on holiday in the UK at the moment and I'm sure he'll come back in a few days with some wonderful photos to texture so in the meantime you're going to get yet another recipe from me. I am slightly guilty of using the same textures over and over in my...
Misty morning
This image was done for a texturing challenge over on Flickr, the starting image was kindly provided by flickr member Adrigu . Misty landscapes are always great to texture so I jumped at the chance to do this and thought I'd share my recipe here. To start with I...
Pretty Bells
Sometimes when you're using textures things come together perfectly first try. This is what happened with this image. Only a few textures were used too, and if I take a similar photo I think I'll be trying this combo again, in fact I might try it on the daisy photo...
