Happy May Day! For a slight backward step, as I produced this image several weeks ago, when still experimenting with the new Fly Edges. It's always a leap of faith when trying something you've never done before. I'd taken these last snows of the year pictures, and had...

Iris
Last week, armed with a piece of black card, I took the dog a walk to our local Park of the poets to photograph iceland poppies, thankfully as the wind was low I managed several acceptable shots. See it on Flickr . Later, at the duck pond I took a few experimental...
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...
Drive-By
Another drive-by shooting...I'm getting good at taking photos out the car window, thankfully I'm the passenger so I have plenty of opportunity. I won't be around for the next week or so but Paul will be here taking care of things. A lot of textures went into this...

Memories…
I've been offline for the last few days while my computer was upgraded. The upgrade (basically a new computer) was done by my son and it didn't go as smoothly as expected -the two hours he quoted me turned into almost two days. The house has never looked tidier!! Now...
Baking
It's strange how you can work on an image for hours and not get it looking quite right so you give up and do something else (or in my case go to bed) and then the next day open it and add some different textures and within moments you have something that works....
the winter group
The other day on our freezing beach. Shot with my 75-300mm zoom lens, this scene was captured from a great distance of a neighboring beach. Because its from a distance the people look much closer together than they were! Not shown on my base image are a line of...
morning mist
I was emailed a few weeks ago, asking how to create a mist effectwith textures. My tardy answer is now shown here (sorry Bob!) This image was captured on the mountains last January.I'd not used these particular images because although I shot them in raw, It still had...
