Why Dont You Blog?

It seems that I cant help but stay up late at night seeing what can (and can’t) be done with photoshop. If you are reading this on Planet Atheism looking for Atheist / free thinking content - sorry nothing to see here. I will keep this short and sweet though.

For those who still resit the wonders of photoshop, this is an example of what it can do to an other wise dreary picture taken in poor weather. The source photo was, it must be said, pretty uninspiring. However after a total of 14 minutes in photo shop (most of that was waiting for the disk thrashings to stop, the source image was massive so the file was about 90mb) it now looks a lot more dramatic and is something people would actually want to look at.

Yes, the effects are a bit over the top, I did get carried away with myself, and the low quality used to resize them into something you can download and view has impacted it a bit, but I am sure you get the gist of the point I am trying to make.

Digital photo editing rocks.

bodiam,

Brilliant use of black and white imagery to make this, gorgeous, castle really stand out.

I have just come back from a weeks holiday where I took gazillions of photos, but only on the last night did I work out how to take Black and White / Sepia photos with a digital camera (yes, I am actually that stupid!).

However, now I know how to do it, I have become a lot more aware of other people’s photos in that regard - and this one of Bodium castle is amazing.

It does help that the castle is almost fairytale-like anyway, but this photo really does catch it well and hightlights how dramatic the place can look.
