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 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.

I went up to the Lake District yesterday with some friends.
Some cracking views, landscapes and scenery all around. Weather was in our favour too, and we ended the day at Rigg Wood pier in Coniston.
A really enjoyable day and I learned quite alot photographically too.

PS. I must give full credit for the idea of the image to Jonathan Woods, he suggested it and tried it first!

Taken today while out on a mini-photography trip with Tom Holmes and Gary Eddlestone. This was taken near Janet’s Foss, about 15 miles from Skipton. Credit to Tom who actually ‘spotted’ the shot first.
