Hever Castle Lake
As you stroll around the grounds of Hever Castle in Kent… you come to this wonderful lake.. and what caught my eye was that red little building beside the lake. As you can see from the original photo there were some distractions and I knew I wanted to remove them. So I did…

Sheer Drop
The above photograph was taken at Birling Gap in East Sussex, and was shot just by the houses that are very close to the cliffs edge. As you can see from the SOOC photo, there is a fence post that is rather distracting and a piece of fencing that just doesn’t seem to belong…

Over the Gate and into the Distance
The above photograph is a HDR composite taken at Northward Hill Nature Reserve… it was only a brief stop and this was taken at an off beaten track near the actual farm. As it was in a dark secluded place, and we didn’t bother to use tripods we were lucky that the three…

Stranger on the Shore
On Friday we went to Seven Sister and Birling Gap in East Sussex… I have to say the drive down there was beautiful as we headed through the Kent and East Sussex countryside… and the views from Birling Gap are astounding. For the above image I wanted to create a dark image… with a…

Purple Flower of Quex
The above photograph has been processed in both Lightroom and Photoshop…. and was taken at Quex Park Gardens, near Birchington in Kent on the Isle of Thanet.. back in July of 2015.

Hydrangea in Bud
Normally I never shoot unless absolutely necessary in a ISO higher than 200… the above image was shot with an ISO of 400.. and there was some noise to the photograph. Initially I thought I might bin it, but decided to play around with some Presets I have from Serge Ramelli – Golden Age…

Soft and Beautiful
When we visited San Francisco last years, we went to the Conservatory of Flowers in the Golden Gate Park… I have never seen such beautiful flowers… truly exquisite and delicate looking petals. As you can see from the picture on the right…which is SOOC there is a dark mark and a very distracting background. So…

My favourite tool – the crop tool
I don’t know about you but there are times when you think you have taken the perfect shot, only to find when you are back home and importing your photos into Lightroom that the image you’ve just imported it is not what you envisaged when taking the original shot. The composition is all wrong and you have not taken…

Swanning around on my own
Today I wanted to create a soft looking feel to this photograph, which was taken at Leybourne Lakes in Snodland, Kent. It is an ideal place for the kids to run around, there is an adventure playground, and of course plenty of dogs on their daily walks, with some even swimming in the lake. My…

Surrounded by Bluebells
Today I watched a video that was created by Laura Macky about replacing colours in an image. And it was one from her expanding horizons tutorials. I had never thought about using colour range to change parts of an image. So I thought I would give it a go. So first of all I did my usual…
