Salisbury Cathedral

Taken in Jan 2009 whilst the Angel was still flying. This image has a reflection in the new font. Water is pouring from spouts at each 'corner'. The verticals have been corrected and then the photo turned into a sketch.

Brrr!


Today we have had a little snow. Naturally the country has ground to a halt. I took this pic early this morning, The temperature was still below zero. It only reached plus one. The snow kept falling through the day and we are questioning whether we should go out tonight to the camera club. We should be having Army Combat Photographers coming. They will not wimp out of course. So we have to go.

3 Feb 09
Well we did go and the Army Combat Photographers were a great team. 24 members turned up.

These photographs were processed in Photoshop to be light and airy to emphasise the wide open spaces of the beaches of the Isle of Harris. The exception is the church at Blythburgh, Suffolk.

The Glass Engraver

The Dispenser

The Leather Worker

These three photographs were taken in places like Ironbridge or the Black Country Museums where folk act the workers of the past.
They have all been processed in Photoshop to a sketch form using filters such as graphite pen and poster edges. Some colour has been brought back from underlying layers.

Home

This is a pic that I took from across the road. I liked the woman with the push chair looking jealously towards our house. The grounds extend from the extreme left to the ox-eye daisies on the right and to the summerhouse peeping out on the left of the house. The trees behind are merely a backdrop and also prevent the sun from shining on the summerhouse. The path coming in from the left down which the woman and child have just traversed goes into the woodland. The path splits in several ways one of which goes round to the right and up behind our house.
