Sunset 21-08-2011: With Sheep!


I went away to Chorley for the weekend to see family, and on the way back on Sunday night I noticed it was almost sunset so I pulled over, grabbed my camera and climbed on top of the car to get a good view!

I'm really happy with how this turned out, a little bit of tweaking in LR3 allowed me to see the beautiful colours of the sunset, and the sheep in the field in front of me.

Darwen – May 2011

Oops, I thought I'd posted this already but I guess it didn't submit!

Aaaanyway, I went up to Darwen in May to see my cousin (who's wedding I'm photographing in September) and her family. We had a really good weekend and I managed to get some lovely photos of them. Take a look below for some of my favourites!

A Visit To The Park!

Went down to the park with Phoebe and her cousins and had a really good laugh tearing around the park chasing after them all! Very tiring though, or maybe that's just old age creeping up on me!

Timelapse 14-05-2011

Another one from the spare room (dammit I need to get a bit more adventurous with these don't I?)

I loved the way the clouds were forming so got the camera set up and rattled this video off.

Created using a Nikon D300, Nikon 18-200mm AF-S Lens, Nikon MC-36 Remote. I edited the frames using Adobe Photoshop CS5, compiled them into a movie using Apple Quicktime Pro and polished it all up using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

Music is Wake Up by Coheed & Cambria from the album Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness.

Pinhole Practice!

Wow, so it's been a while since I posted anything online! Today I converted the body cap of my Nikon D300 into a pinhole lens and had a quick scout about the garden to see how it worked. I'm quite pleased with the results, the only PP work on them was B&W filter on some images, and general levels adjustment.
