Explanations!
04th October 2011
I have been a bit remiss in updating the site recently – partially because I have had a few uninspired weeks but mainly because I have just been lazy.
Something I have been working on however is a set of explanatory notes that describe how I created some of my images. This started off from a simple request from a friend who is doing a photo course and in my usual way I went way over the top. However it was a really interesting exercise to revisit some old images and see what techniques I used to get to the final image. What struck me was how much both my post processing and initial capture has changed over the years but also in a couple of cases I was impressed by just how much I managed to get out of a fairly crummy starting point. So far I have looked at HDR (both true 7 shot merging and a pseudo process from a single image) an infra-red and a long exposures.
I have put a couple of the notes below as examples – when I get round to it I will start a new section on the site and add them in a downloadable format.
