Here are two abstracts, both the same image but photoshoped differently. The first image I feel works really well as an image in its own right, whilst the second would make  a great background, maybe for a wedding invitation or something similar…

Both of these images were composed with milk & water… Believe it or not!

I have created a new page to mark every hundredth image to be posted on Flickr. This was originally a recurring and updated post but it was becoming so large and repetitive, I felt that it was better simply to dedicate a page for the topic instead.

This is a collection of images from the Irlam Bonfire on Friday night, this time taken by my girlfriend’s children. I like all these pictures, all showing the fire at its’ best, just before it collapsed, as they invariably do…

Posted on Flickr  on the 96th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, (just in case anyone was interested…) back in April 2008, it has since stormed away to become my most successful picture ever. It was taken my Nikon D40, and the efix data is available on photo page @ Flickr. (Click on the image)

The following set of images taken on a recent trip to Salford Museum by my girlfriend’s children, who range from the ages of 5 to 13.  To get the best out of what we both felt were wonderful images, I have made some minor adjustments, but mainly in contrast and brighness etc…

There were indeed many good if not excellent photos taken that day, but I decided to chose one for each of them. This is not to say that these were the only good ones, as these are but a sample, but that they represent the eye of each of them well in my opinion. They have certainly got a fantastic eye though and I hope that you would agree…
