Comparison of HDR Software
Yesterday I processed the above photographed and posted it on this blog. The image was created using 3 photos and merged into HDR. Today I thought I would show you comparisons of three different HDR programs I use, Lightroom Merge to HDR, HDR Pro in Photoshop and Aurora 2018. These are the images I used. …

Critiquing your own image
Must be one of the hardest things to do… I know I have found it hard. Well, let’s start at the beginning. You all know I had a hard-drive failure and one of the images I lost was one I processed in Topaz Studio and Luminar of boats at Folkestone Harbour. As much as…

On the beach
Today I decided to use a photograph of an image we took which was just a holiday snap and before we even decided to take up photography as a hobby. I wanted to see how far I could process them image as it was photographed with a Fuji FinePix S5700 way back in August 2011.…

Creating Watercolour Effect Photography
On Sunday we took a trip to Sissinghurst Castle… in Kent. Albeit under protest at the last controversy surrounding the outing of a squire as being gay, which I didn’t approve of. Anyway, we decided to go and I shot this photograph of some red flowers and wanted to see if I could create a…

Processing of A Fallen Tree at Ashenbank Woods
I thought I would give you a guide into the processing I did on the above image. I knew in my mind I wanted to create a soft but saturated image of a fallen tree at Ashenbank Woods near Cobham. As I was adding a slight texture to my image, I knew I would be…

There it stood – one lonely daffodil…
To keep myself out of mischief today I decided to play around with a singular daffodil that was photographed in the greenhouse of Hall Place in Bexley. And believe it or not it is of a miniature daffodil. I wanted to enhance the colours of this singular daffodil to make the petals a more vibrant…

Mixing Filters and Styles on your image
For me Lightroom is my first port of call when processing an image. I like its simplicity, its versatility and for me the easiest post processing software to use. My main aim of using Photoshop is to remove elements that you can’t remove in Lightroom. The above photograph was created by using Lightroom’s HDR feature. …

The power of texture
It was cold, it was murky and the sky was absolutely dreadful.. it was dismal and there wasn’t any clouds that gave drama to the sky… but even with the sky as dismal as it was.. I still liked the photo… so what do I do with it? Of course, at a texture and use…

On The Loch
Just over a week ago, I received an email from Jodi Robbins of Topaz Labs, who had seen my Duck Pond photograph; and she asked if I would be prepared to write an article for the Topaz Labs.. First of all I was gobsmacked… I couldn’t believe that I was being contacted by a renowned company…

Well today is day 6 of my Topaz Texture Effects ‘trial before buy’ challenge. So for this challenge I thought I would do a complete comparison of using Lightroom and Topaz Effects and just using Topaz Effects. This is the image I started out with… which was taken at Inveruglas on the edge of Loch…

Apricot Roses
One of the things I love about photography is post-processing… and taking photos to a whole new dimension. Lately I have been experimenting using Photoshop… which I am slowly becoming conversant with. The above image started out… being rather bland and lacking colour. And I wanted to make those roses more apricot in colour……

From Harsh to Delicate
I wanted to create a soft looking flower… and to see how soft and delicate I could make a harsh looking photo by using Lightroom and Photoshop. As you can see from the SOOC photo on the right, that particular rose has many petals and I did manage to get most of the rose in focus……
