Photoshoot

From a shoot I did with an aspiring model, on the old fishing dock, now derelict.
 

'Fire in the Sky'

Its not often I manipulate my images, I like to keep it real, creativity starts the moment you look through the viewfinder, hand, eye, heart. However I sometimes like to play about in photoshop, the above image I put together from two separate images, the background/sky is a sunrise I took last Summer from my bedroom window. The building in the foreground is from another image I took of an old derelict building on the river Hull, Bankside, U.K. I simply selected the building, copy and pasted it onto the other, and cropped it where needed. Simple, but I quite like the result.

Winters day on Beverley Westwood

Discovered another advantage of digital over film photography, while taking these series of images on Beverley Westwood, East Yorkshire, U.K. No need to change films when your hands are cold!

Hull Pier and the Deep.

Hull Pier and the Deep in Hull, East Yorkshire, U.K. I took this recently with my Canon 10D + Sigma 18-50 EX Lens, processed using adobe Lightroom and Nik silver efex pro.

After the Floods.

I dont usually manipulate my images much, but I had a play around in photoshop with an image I took of some old Dock cranes at Salford Quays, Manchester. U.K.

Hull Pier, Canon G11.

 

Well I couldnt resist the temptation, I sold the G7 and bought a G11. I found the G7 a bit to compact for my taste, the G11 has a bit more bulk to it. I have to agree with what iv heard some people say, shooting raw on such a small sensor camera is a waste of time, compared to my SLR's its like night and day! Glad I got the G11 though it has advantages for me over the G7, wider lens, larger lcd screen, even the viewfinder seems a little bigger then on the G7. I prefer using SLR's, carnt beat a real viewfinder in my opinion, but these little cameras have their own advantages aswell. Heres a shot I took with the G11, its one thing looking at images on a screen, but real life prints from these little cameras are amazing!
