Beach


I love this piccie; not only the framing but also the silvery effect I produced on PS.

I'm finding the varied manipulation techniques of PS quite amazing, though the version I have is very old and belongs with the dinosaurs... sigh.. something else for my wish list.

Deckchairs



I wasn't very happy with this photograph, mainly for chopping off part of the deckchairs and for having too much sky, so I used it to go a bit mad with PS. I like the crazy colour.

Postcard


I played around in PS to put a frame around the picture so it looked more like a postcard.

I loved this guy, up and down the beach he went all day selling the best doughnuts. Had to capture him.


I don't think my pictures are as clear and as bright as they could be, certainly this one isn't, but I think that's down to a crappy lens. Can't wait to upgrade someday.

Studies at the Beach


I was actually just playing around with the camera whilst studying my photography book when I took this shot, but I really like the accidental result!

I'm finding that a lot - taking accidental pictures that aren't in the least bit planned but come out great!

Balcony


I love taking photographs that feature a bright blue sky.

As a photography student I am always told 'find a different angle!' So this is my 'from-the-ground-up' angle. The plant pots are what make the balcony much more interesting but I could have happily chopped down the bush in the foreground.

Traffic


This time, I made the photo half black and white and half colour! I really like the result.

It wanted to capture a typical street shot of where I was staying in Corfu, right next to a main road where people took their life in their hands walking along as there were no pavements.

Pretending


Ah, my gorgeous boy. I must have about a million pictures of him now. I like this one as he's keeping an eye on what I'm up to.

I experimented with Photoshop to turn the original colour picture into a black and white one.
I like the result. I also like the framing of the picture and the blur/focus effect again.
