Bridgemere

A few snaps i took at Bridgemere Garden Center. Colours are quite heavily tweaked in Photoshop (no kidding!) but i’m starting to really like that look. Not for all photos but a few.

Pippa would do this all day if you let her!

Eiko and Pippa

A very rare moment where i managed to photograph them both at the same time! They were both waiting to back into the house for their dinners.

Daisy Daisy (daisy daisy…)

I’ve been browsing the photoshop actions available on deviant art and some of them are really good! You can create some spectacular effects or just tweak colours on your photos. Have a look here: PS Actions – Deviant Art

I can’t decide which one i prefer so i added both … i think i prefer the one with less colour.

Pippa B&W

Our lovely Pippa, taken using my SX210 IS. I’m using this picture to enter a B&W photo competition.

Vivid Flars

I’ve started taking a lot of my photographs in vivid mode and then when i get them on the computer i jazz them up even more in photoshop by duplicating the layer and setting the blend mode to overlay. I’ll usually lower the opacity of the top layer until i get the desired effect.

Moon

I took this picture with my Lumix TZ7 compact camera. I think it did quite well for a compact!

This is a cutting i took from Mums geranium a few years ago. Picture taken with SX210 compact camera.
