‘New Yoik’ – 2007

robcoules — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:21:28 +0000

Morning, Afternoon and Evening to you all.

Just a quick blast from the past along with much cringing from myself at the quality of some of these shots, and the fact that a simple alteration could have made alot of difference!!

The background of these images are a college photography trip in march of 2007. I had recently attained a new camera from my Dad as he had splashed on a new one.

Anyway another brief post. Just look at the pretty (and not so pretty) pictures. These were used in one of my college projects. Don’t ask what mark I got!!

Central Park.

Brooklyn Bridge.

Brooklyn Bridge

New York Skyline

Worked out how to add captions! (i’m still learning)

National Art Gallery, New York.

Flea Market Tender

Okay the image below is my favorite from my New York visit. In it are my friends, Alex, Emily and Sam.

Ice Skating in Central Park

Again, Thanks for looking. I’d love a few comments, feedback etc.

Peace.

Hello again, this blog is going to just show what sort of thing i’ve done previously in terms of adding effects to images. Some I used for my college photography course, some have been just experimenting. I use Corel Photo Paint at the moment but am looking to get myself a copy of Photoshop once the pennies start rolling in. Take a look, again feedback would be welcomed!!

Above is the result of a tutorial I found online. It showed step by step points to get to this final image. Unfortunatly there are few of these and many are for photoshop.

Okay so the point isnt that suprising. Its pretty weak to be fair. But the idea of the image is evident enough. White background, with product infront.

A result of another tutorial. I like the effect and look of the text so will probably use it elsewhere!

Powerboat racing in Plymouth, UK. This image is a favorite of mine and was created using contrast enhancement and altering the hue of the image.

This is a quick design for my watermark as and when I publish my images properly online.

Thanks again for having a look at these, I like to keep them short and sweet so hopefully you didnt get bored!!

Feedback please, I need to learn!!

A Brief Introduction to what I do…

Hi again,

Below are just a couple of shots that i’ve taken within the last two years or so. As is obvious i’ve just used the trend of wildlife for this blog. Some macro based others just documental. Take a look and any feedback would be gladly accepted!!

A Bumble Bee does its rounds.

A Sea Crab saw me coming!

I won’t lie, I’m not sure what species this is. Gold star to whoever can name it.

A Thai Flower.

Hover Fly, looking deceptivly like a bee.

As you may have guessed, i’m not great with the names of things. This is merely a pretty red flower.

Great Tit, grabbing lunch.

Fuchsia

There you go ladies and gents, it’s not lots but there are alot more to come. This is my second blog so any tips on the photos or on the blogging, send it my way. Thanks for reading my blog!

Welcome and Hello.

This is my first blog. Ever. I’ve got a few reasons for starting this. Firstly I am a keen photographer and i’ve been looking for somewhere to put up some photos for feedback and general viewing. I was introduced to Word Press by a friend of mine Karys Llewellyn who is a graphic design student. My photos may follow, if i work out how to use the site!
