Memorabilia for Emma

For Emma
This was a photo I took in the Jane Austen House museum with an added extra.  Click on the picture to see it full size.

A Cottage and Fruit Flasks

We went into the city and en route went past this cottage that is being renovated but the state it is in has been so for a long time. This is two images stitched together using Cs3 Photomerge. This is a great improvement on previous panorama programmes from Adobe.
Then in what was in the window of a cafe that replaced the famous Beeches bookshop I attempted to photograph the big flasks. There are so many reflections that it is virtually impossible.

A Windy Day with Gales in Places

Today has been blustery but not as bad as the weather forecasters would have us believe [as usual]. At least round here. This was taken on digital compact camera because it was to hand. I still managed to convey the wind I hope. This is actually two photos blended together.
Other photos were taken today at the U3A meeting for use on the web site later.

Canal Confusion in Cheshire and not a cat in sight.

The top image is a surreal version of the happenings on the Cheshire canal system.
A combination of 3 pictures blended together.

The middle image is another montage of two photos of the Anderton boat lift with a man for scale.

A rare sight of a lock-keeper

This image is an amalgam of three photos taken on Cheshire earlier this year. These were all canal based. So you can see the lock keeper opening the lock gate and the end elevation of a building by the lock and a bridge with some text painted thereon many years before. Also another image of a narrow boat that was passing through. Whether this type of montage is to your liking it is quite enjoyable making them. It may do well in camera club competitions but that is not paramount in my mind. That is the enjoyment of making an image that satisfies.
