I don't want to have my photo taken Gramps

We had a great day at Anglesey Abbey last week. To end it we had an Ice Cream. I had not taken many photos that day and I thought Aiden eating his Ice Cream was a good subject - He did not agree :)

July Monochromes

Here are a few images that have been converted to monochrome. Some of these you will have seen in previous posts as colour versions. All the images where processed through Adobe Lightroom then taken into Photoshop where I used the NIK Silver Effects Plug-in to convert to monochrome.

A walk in the Park - (Intentional Camera Movement)

We went to Milton Country Park the other weekend and rather than just take 'happy snaps' I decided to play about with Intentional Camera Movement. In this case zooming my lens while the shutter is open.

These images (except the first) have been post processed in Photoshop with NIK software.

No Photoshop post processing on this photo

As the previous but with the border desaturated

Upton House, Banbury.

My posts have got a little out of order. This one is from our camping weekend near Chipping Norton.

Upton House is a National Trust Property.

I thought I would concentrate of shadows Textures, Shape and Form.

This picture frame was hung in the trees about 4 meters up. It would have been nice if it was lower so you could pose you family in it.
