Friday night wonderings

Fri, 29 Oct 2010 10:04:49 +0100

Does anyone other than my girlfriend actually read the blog post. should I be just using Facebook to communicate with those that like my photos. Just a thought and perhaps the response will bring about a change in how I do things. Happy Friday to all those that take the time to read this.

A new week and some new images.

Just a few more abstract sightings from around my garden. It's amazing what there is to be photographed just in your immediate surroundings. My garden is SMALL but the inspiration it supplies is vast. I hope you enjoy them.

Architectural stuff

I have started a new album on my Facebook page entitled 'Architectural' . It is a small album at the moment but I hope to feed it and grow it over time. I love Achitecture. It appeals to my love of geometric shapes and patterns. anyway here is a little peek at a few images, go along to my Facebook page at www.fackbook.com/pixelshawart to see more.

Distracted

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 21:10:36 +0100

Sorry it's been a few days since my last post. But I have been distracted. I do have some good photos to show for it though. Or at least I will do once I have edited them. I am currently trying to get to grips with Adobe Lightroom 3. The work flow is going to be easier I think using this. That is its primary function. As with anything though, it is not perfect, so I won't be ditching Photoshop any-time soon. Here are a couple of images I have edited with Lightroom 3. Wanderings around Aucklands CBD.

A Colourful Garden

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:12:30 +0100

Finding interesting rusty objects isn't very difficult. Here is some images from my garden. The colours that form through oxidisation always amaze me, deep reds, vibrant oranges, smoky yellows and rich brown tones. All make for some very colourful images. Don't forget to check out the galleries for more images.

Stormy Friday

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 02:59:27 +0100

Well the biggest storm in the world is heading to NZ this weekend. Indeed outside looks like it may have already landed. So opportunities for photos are going to be slim outside this weekend. I may try and be creative inside instead. But for now here is an image I took of storm clouds at Orewa beach. You can find it in the urban gallery and is also available to purchase.

Fridays colour is not very colourful

This is a close up abstract of a piece of wooden hand rail. The wood naturally turns silvery grey over time and this piece of wood was no exception. I didn't do anything to the image except crop and sharpen. So although it appears a black and white photo it is in fact colour. This one can be found in the Urban Gallery I hope you enjoy and have a good weekend everyone.
