21.05.13 - Wet

I was woken in the night by heavy rain banging on the window, but at least it gave provided photo opportunity. This is water droplets on a garden sun lounger, with the "Monday Morning" filter in Color Efex Pro applied to give a bit more contrast

This is a re-working of an image from a photo walk I led back when we had snow on the ground recently. The arch is called Priorygate, with Lincoln Cathedral to the right. My friend Mark is standing by the arch getting some spectacular shots with a fish eye lens. It is a 6 second exposure to capture the traffic streaming through the arch, and I have applied the "monday morning" filter in color efex pro to create a slight glow and near monochrome.

I've been re-working some recent images lately, experimenting with different filter effects and crops. This is from down on the University campus, using the "monday morning" filter in color efex pro.

Now that the snow has gone I've been trying to cheer myself up by working on some of the snowy pics from the last couple of weeks. I had some success by applying the Monday Morning filter in Color Efex Pro to some South Common images last week, this is a slightly older shot from Boultham Park. The filter works well with some images and not others, I think this is one of the better ones, and needs to be viewed as large as possible to appreciate the details in the trees. I think I would have liked a figure on the path, but there is also something nice about the empty scene i think.

I'm currently suffering some sort of post snow depression, so I've been working on the snowy pics from the last couple of weeks to cheer myself up. This is actually the left hand image from the 3 shot photomerge panorama that I used for my daily on 14.01.13, with the Monday Morning filter from Color Efex Pro added. I used this filter to great effect on some images last week, so I was keen to see how it worked on a few more. I never cease to be amazed at how filters work well with some images and not others. I like the painterly high contrast result with this image, and the details in the trees, but other images were either washed out or unbalanced in some way.

This must be seen as large as possible to appreciate the details.

Here is another image that I've been working on;
