Photography: The Early March Collection

March6

Below is a collection of my favourite shots that I’ve taken and processed over the past week or so. Some of them are earlier than March but that would have just led to an unattractive title then, wouldn’t it?

Seeing as I’m taking more Photographs than ever before, I’ve decided that I’m going to have a dedicated Photography section on the site. It’s not going to be just a category like it is now. I’m thinking a way to display the images. There are a few Wordpress plugins available to do such a job (eg) but I’ll explore other options and decide again.

Toodles!

Here is a shot I took at the weekend at an old farm house near to where I live. It’s in its completely raw state as I felt little need to edit it in Photoshop. Not even a crop or a straighten

This is a photo I took in London last Summer while I was attending The London Car Show. This is also a test to see if the “blog this” function works on Flickr.com.

It’s one of my favourite photos anyway.

Edit:// It does work but it doesn’t allow me to add tags or chose which catagory I want it in. Bummer.

A Ray of Light

sunset

Ok, I’ll admit, there are no rays of light. I just lied to make the title more interesting.

Here is a shot of a really nice vibrant sunset taken from the back of my house. I took this no more than 40 mins ago. Anyway, a quick crop and edits of the curves in Photoshop and viola here is the result! Any comments or criticisms?

Brochure in Indesign

February13

Last semester we were assigned to create a 4 page (A5) brochure using Indesign. The photos used had to be your own and marks were awarded for the general loveliness of it all. Mock ups were done in Photoshop but that goes without saying really.

Here it is anyway in all it’s loveliness.

Christmas Photography

December27

Hello there. It’s been a while since I’ve updated this yolk but sure it’s all about quality and not quantity, isn’t that right?

Anywho, I took a few shots over the past few days and here are some of my favourites. Feel free to say whatever about them.
