I always promise myself that when I go out on a day's shoot that I will wait for a while before I publish any images. I find that it's this distance from the days shooting that allows you to appreciate which images are the best. That way you avoid being caught up in the emotion … Continue reading Friday image No.042

You Lucky People!
Yesterday I loaded a number of Lightroom Presets I had been building, to the Lenscraft website. I then sent out an email broadcast to the membership list saying the presets were now available and free to download. From the stats, I can see a lot of people have been able to access the site and … Continue reading You Lucky People!
Friday image No.041
I did wonder whether to post this shot or not. If you look hard at the image you find it feels cluttered. It isn't a great composition (because there wasn't much to compose). It's also a grab shot. You see I shot this whilst spending ages fighting with the Nikon D800 on a tripod. I … Continue reading Friday image No.041
How I Created the La Paz Image
It seems that my previous post created a bit of a stir with a few requests for a tutorial added to the site and many more sent by email. I have therefore bowed to public pressure and added a tutorial to my Lenscraft site describing how the image was captured and then processed. There may … Continue reading How I Created the La Paz Image
A Surreal Experience in Bolivia
I must admit that I have seen some beautiful and unusual landscapes around the world in my time but this one in Bolivia has to take the prize for the most unusual. The salt flats of Uyuni in Bolivia are spectacular. They are flat and white but in some locations there are small islands of … Continue reading A Surreal Experience in Bolivia

The new book is now live on Amazon and is titled "Nik Efex from Start to Finish: Workflows and examples using the … Continue reading New Book Launch
Friday image No.039
This week's Friday image was shot on my trip to Wales last week. It was 10:00 in the morning on Saturday and the rain was coming down hard from the dark sky. My friend checked the weather forecast and announced the weather would clear at 11:00 and that we should leave now to be ready … Continue reading Friday image No.039
The Joy of Heat
Just prior to leaving for Bolivia my central heating packed up. NO problem I thought, called the plumber and arranged for a new boiler to be installed. The timing couldn't be better as I would be away when the boiler is fitted and I would return to a lovely warm house. Then I received a … Continue reading The Joy of Heat
Yes, another door but…
Yes, I know it's another door pic but I'm publishing this one because I have added a tutorial to Lenscraft describing the processing. If you are interested in either the processing or the starting image you can find out more in the Tutorials section with this link. http://www.lenscraft.co.uk/resource-hub/tutorials/
Working on Doors Again
I finally seem to be getting the new website under control after a lot of effort. All email enquiries have been answered. Best of all, people are logging in and like the site. Success! It's been nice today to find some time to start processing some of the 5,000+ images I shot in Bolivia. Above … Continue reading Working on Doors Again
