Still not had chance to get out and capture anything new in recent weeks, so relying on messing around with the odd image on my hard drive. If this image looks similar to a couple of others in my stream, it's because it is!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

First you boil water,

Then you make the tea and drink it.

When my wife was young, her friends always wanted to go party at the "creepy" cemetery. What her friends didn't know was that my wife's parents were buried here. She never went with them and they didn't know why.

We go here at least once a year. Last year, I found it photogenic in an odd sort of way. Very peaceful, and well out of the way and few know where it is.

I converted this sunrise shot to black and white split tone. It gives a winter landscape shot a whole new look.

This is a new image from me the original looks nothing like this.

"Split Tone is an editing technique where the shadows are toned one color, and the highlights a second color. Split toning is often used with color grading in the media to

give a scene a desired look and feel."

I love Singapore at night.

We stayed in Reykjavik for a total of three nights and was staying only a short walk from the Hallgrimskirkja ( the church of the Hallgrimur ) designed by Guðjón Samúelsson.

Again I had done my research and wanted to get some dramatic shots of the basalt rock inspired columns on the exterior.

............. it was covered top to toe in scaffolding !

However the vaulted ceiling looked great, like the ribs of a viking ship or the inside of a whale : )

The usual fair for trivia. Well...for me anyway. ...well, the Diet Pepsi anyway.

Because of the low-light of the bar the photo came out really noisy so I decided to run with it and go for a vintage look with split-toning and a vignetting effect.

I really like the result.

First in a series of new photographs from the award winning series Dissolution.

Do you know the Blend If option in Photoshop? You can use it to split tone an image. The tutorial is here :

Une petite photo fraîche du capteur...ça fait un moment que je n'ai plus posté et je dois dire que ça me manque mais mon stock est au plus bas...ai eu le temps pour une rapide sortie aujourd'hui alors je vous ramène un cycliste des berges du Rhône. En arrière-plan, vous pouvez voir les éclairages de la piscine des berges que je vous ai déjà montré auparavant.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A fresh one straight from the sensor...it's been a while since I last posted and I gotta say I missed it very much. Problem is my stock is real low...but today I got a chance to get out for a while and I brought back this one of a cyclist on the banks of the Rhône river. In the background, you can spot the lights of the swimming-pool on the banks of the Rhône river which you might remember from some of my previous posts of Lyon.

Split toned Rose.

This was just me having a go a split toning an image.

It isn't brilliant, but it has a certain something.

The intersection of Pearl and Prospect littered with yellow bits and chunks of yellow debris from a traffic accident, presumably involving a taxi. Ouch.

Hey I did some more HDR today (wow). I was wondering if any of you guys would be interested in growing ourselves a little more by taking part in constructive criticism of each others pictures. Even if anybody isn't interested in doing that, could you guys do that to mine? Don't worry about hurting my feelings, I need it =). If anybody wants to do this, I would greatly appreciate it! I am going to start on this picture with saying that the whole barn should be gone. =) And maybe the trees. Thanks,

Taken whilst walking my dog at the local nature reserve. I didnt think it was a particularly interesting subject but I quite liked the sky. As ever, your thoughts are welcomed!
