Taken during a trip to Whitby and Saltburn last August, with Jimmy Lemon. This was taken just as the sun was setting through Saltburn Pier, casting a beautiful orange glow everywhere.

As usual, hover over the image to see the unedited/as shot original.

This was taken a few weeks ago when we had a weekend flurry of snowfall (Which didn’t last long).
Seizing an opportunity I bundled the kids in the car, dropped my wife off at work and took a drive up to Coal Clough Wind Farm. The sun was popping out from inbetween rather fluffy white clouds making the light quite harsh, but the landscape lovely to look at.

As always, hover your mouse over the image to see the original.

Taken a couple of years ago on a TP Meet in North Wales. This is another shot I never got round to blogging at the time. Not 100% sure on the processing, but hey ho….it’s not getting any more tweaking.

As always, hover over the shot for a view of the original.

Taken from a trip a couple of months ago with Jimmy Lemon. We waited all night for a decent sunrise, and when it came it was a bit of a damp squib. Still, this wasn’t too bad to come out of it.

As usual, hover over the photo for the original unprocessed version.

This is a shot I took back in 2009 in Lytham St.Annes. It was inspired by David Nightingale (of Chromasia fame)’s rather inspirational beachcombing photos.
I never got round to processing it at the time, despite being a longtime subscriber of his online tutorials.

However, while watching David present his free CreativeLIVE weekend (Day two today), my creative and photographic nerves have been well and truly prodded.
So while he discusses various viewer-submitted photos, I decided to revisit a shot to turn my hand to a couple of things I have learned today.

If you are a fan of Chromasia’s work, then tune in to CreativeLIVE and watch. It’s incredibly fascinating to watch someone in his comfort zone…..someone who I have photographically followed and admired for a number of years.

For those that are interested, here is the layer composition. All of theml curves layers except the Hue/Saturation layer.
