 Took some photographs down on the river Clyde. I have been playing about with the positioning of objects in the shot and the lens distortion.

Colour splash

One of my favourite pictures I took up in Aberdeen beach over a month ago of an old boat hut. I put the image into Photoshop and played about with the layers to create this splash of colour.

After using layers in Photoshop to dull the background make the flower stand out more.









Used the cyanotype saturation/hue tool in Photoshop to remove the black and white colouring.














Pull focus

 This is some of the images I have taken lately through out the house. This is me just starting to learn, understand and mess around with the setting on my camera. I have been trying to pull the focus on the camera so certain objects stand out in the images.

New blog

I have purchased a new camera, Canon SLR 550d, so I order to track my progress of my photographs and let everyone see what I am up to I though I would start a new blog. Also wanted to keep it separate from my animation and digital art blog, as this is more of an interest than a career choice for me.
