As I mentioned at the start of the week we visited a place called West Wittering, it is located close to Hayling Island and also Chichester. We spent a few hours there on the sandy beach which was great as the weather was very accommodating for a change.
I didn’t really plan to take any creative images here, but as I had packed my camera I decided to grab a couple of images of the set of beach huts on the beach.

During our brief walkaround the Brighton seafront I spotted this machine, I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures of it.

On Saturday we decided to have a short break from the goings on with doing up the new house by taking a trip to the south coast, the first stop was a place called West Wittering where we stayed for a few hours on the sandy beach and then off to Brighton for a quick walk along the seafront. I decided to have a go with my 10 stop filter and capture the old burnt out West Pier (you can view about its history here)
Unfortunately for those dead eyes among you I was unable to get a symmetrical shot as the left side of the pier is slightly longer than the right side resulting in a little off balanced shot 
This image was a 20 second long exposure with very little post processing work within Photoshop.

I decided to take a quick shot of the neighbouring garden this morning while the Sun was out with my Infra Red camera with a slight adjustment with the channel swapping in photoshop

Bit of a delay with my posts recently what with house moving and sorting everything out etc, so now I have got my PC connected up I thought I would share a post while I have a few spare minutes on my hand.
This image was taken from my break in Devon last year at a place called Shaldon, these steps lead to Ness Beach. I have used Topaz Adjust and ColorEfex to add a little effect to the original image.

I’m still flicking through my shoebox of older images, looking for ones that I have left behind for one reason or another due to the fact that they didn’t quite appeal to me at the time but as time goes on your mind can change so what wasn’t worth posting back then can suddenly jump out and become somewhat attractive to work on at a later date.
Anyway this was a shot taken last year on my visit to PA Woods to shoot some of their collection of classic cars. With this image I wanted a soft colourful blur effect with a heavy illustrative feel to it also a bit of extra saturation in the colours to hopefully give it a bit more character.

I was having a dig through some of my old shots from Pyestock over the weekend to see if there was anything that was worth processing and posting. I originally had left this one behind as I didn’t think I could do much with it especially with so much green in the picture.
So what I have done is gone for the faded surreal appearance to it and really drained the colours away from the shot and removed as much dark shadows as I could to lighten up the image.

This shot was taken of the garages located close by the abandoned house , I am very suprised that they haven’t collapsed yet as everything had been left to basically rot away and looks very unsafe.
The processing here started with the 3 brackets (-2, 0, +2) loaded into Photomatix, then using Topaz Adjust to create the slightly surreal appearance to it, then straight into Colorefex to add / remove some contrast, glow & blur, vignette and a border. Then finally a few minor adjustments in Photoshop itself to finish it off.
