Armed, dangerous, and on the warpath!

My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.

All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality.

So Many Leaves.. So Little Time.

The Utata group, among others on flickr are seasonally featuring leaf photos.. Here's My first 2006 answer...

Thought weather to bad to shoot at my pond for MMs theme 'Wet' so dug this one up from a couple of years ago.

Model: Citroën 2CV

Digital painting.

A Coal tit on a feeder.

Boston Public Garden in the fall. This is actually a long, hand-held exposure taken at night, the only illumination coming from the lampposts that light the paths. The inevitable camera movement that resulted is responsible for most of the softness in this image, which I like. The colorful folk on the bridge (including the fellow in the yellow hazmat suit accompanied by the Grim Reaper) were dabbed in by hand using standard Photoshop brushes, since the real ones, with the rapid movement characteristic of city people, had erased themselves.

My first attempt at incorporating textures, using my own photos of a damp wall in my house, and a lichen-covered gravestone.

Thank you to all flickr friends for your support and all kind comments on my pictures!!

Doesn't that crumpled towel look a bit like some kind of huge, weird tropical shrimp?

Sometimes, I don't quite know who I am.

used the same model as in my last upload, just added a dress to her using transform tool warp ,then used the puppet warp tool to fit the dress to her. hope that makes sense!

Personal work.

Back in July, my brother and his wife had the most wonderful experience when they became parents for the first time :)

I got the fantastic job of being photographer when their little girl (Summer) was exactly 2 weeks old :)

This was the result of one of the pictures when I'd asked Elaine to make a heart shape around the baby's feet - I think it is just the epitome of love :)

Wishing you all a very blessed Sunday :)

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments on all my work :)

Something I've been wanting to do for a while now. So, here it is.

Enjoi :)

Chris and Yann of the Bonneville Barons doing an impromptu gig in front of something that isn't really there :)

Chris and Yann are shot against neutral grey paper. The diner background is a Daz 3D creation with 50's car models added. The file is rendered out as a transparent 24bit PNG file so the blank sky area can have a new image dropped in with no cutting out or masking needed.

It's all composited in Photoshop, layered and blended, with use of photo filters to give everything an overall balanced colour cast to help everything sit together.

You can see a before and after reference here:

The day is ending. Last chance to walk on the beach. There was a chill in the sea breeze today, and as the sun sets it is starting to get cold. Winter is coming.

Mystery Cave Perryville Missouri

The original photo was taken at the VanDusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver. It has been altered using PSE to give this image.

More Daz 3D testing shenanigans here. The background took about 30 minutes to render out at high rez. Very impressed with the quality.

Sarah-Jane, shot on grey and composited into the scene as always :)

a mercedes benz 180 D - this is a dream !!!!

Not a very orginal concept, but I wanted to created something more soft, romantic and enchanting. The next works (commissions) will be more bright, so this is a nice change for a moment. ;-)

These are a selection of composites that should never have seen the light of day. I started each one in high spirits and then thought 'meh' this is not working for whatever reason. Some were started again with new imagery and ended up working. Others, well, you can see for yourself. Fail! :)

Some were abandoned very early on. Some were taken to a more finished state only for me to realise that they just weren't doing it for me. Hey ho! You live and learn :)

Thanks to Sarah-Jane, Faestock, Tigersgirl, TyrApollo, Marcus Ranum, The Bonneville Barons et al at DeviantArt :) Sorry these didn't make the cut.

* Ok, sei que já postei essa aqui, mas estou sem fotos novas, então resolvi fazer um crop nela e dar uma geral no tratamento!

* Ok, I know that I already uploaded this one before, but I'm out of new pictures; so I decided to crop that one a little and change the post-processing a bit too!

Maybe this could be a scene from some Bond movie as our hero tries to gain access to the villain's underground lair. Sarah-Jane has been tasked to 'take him down'.

My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.

All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality.

Was rather pleased with how this render came out. It reminded me of the painterly style of Titian or Rembrandt. Some help from Photoshop enhanced the oil painting style. Not too bad for a bunch of polygons and texture maps :)

I've ways wanted a photo of me walking away. Especially into the unknown. And that's what "The Journey" represents.

Leaving behind my past and walking into the unknown. An unsolved mystery that's scary, but will be written and solved by me. One that I would look forward too.

The glowing gateways represent those little steps of significance and victories I've had along the path. To be ok to sometime be lost and wander around. Making sure that I don't trip over and fall while walking on rocky roads.

I'm not sure if I'll ever reach its end, but all I know and have been told is that the journey is more important than the end.
