Took a trip to White lee Wind farm, Scotland. I was trying to capture the beautiful scenery, light and positioning of the windmills. The Sun was very strong and found it difficult not to over expose my pictures.

Photographs - Neilston pad glasgow

Neilston Pad Glasgow


Photographs were taken in Neilston pad during a walk with the dog. I've been playing with the colour in a few of the photographs to enhance selected objects to make the images slightly more interesting.

I also was playing with the continuousness shooting mode on my camera to capture some action shots of the dog. I changed the focus and angle in a few shots to see if I could capture something more creative looking.

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.

 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.
