I have seen numerous photographs across the internet of motion blur. I am beginning to quite like this effect. So I thought I'd give it a go. For the above shot. I just sent the image into Photoshop from Lightroom. Then once in Photoshop, I duplicated the layer. Then I added a motion blur filter … Continue reading Motion Blur – Giving it a go

Woods I part the out-thrusting branches and come in beneath the blessed and the blessing trees. Though I am silent there is singing around me. Though I am dark there is vision around me. Though I am heavy there is flight around me. by Wendell Berry One of my favourite places to visit is Ashenbank … Continue reading Silent
Now the Ragtag Daily Prompt of Comeback was no problem to me. When I visit these woods, they also seem to say 'Comeback' to me. I just love walking around those woods, and as the woods are local to me and renowned for their bluebells, there is no hesitation in hearing their 'Comeback' call.
Back in July I did a photograph of Ashenbank Woods, in Lightroom and Topaz Studio.. and today I thought I would rework the image using Lightroom and Luminar.
I thought I would enter this photo into another Photo Challenged entitled Timeworn, as the tree, with losing some of its trunk and another tree laying on the ground shows they are clearly timeworn.
What with real-life things, some sad and some good, my inspiration for blogging and processing our images has diminished. I kept thinking I need to do some photographs for our blog... but never felt mentally capable of doing. I seemed to loose my inspiration and would stare aimlessly at images and then shut the laptop … Continue reading Green Pasture of Ashenbank
