my latest images

I’ve added some new images to my website.

“Dream” was taken in January this year near the entrance of the National Golf Course at Cape Schanck.  Originally with a bright blue sky, I added a concrete texture to give a dreamlike effect

“Ethereal” was taken from the balcony at Cape Schanck, Victoria,  Australia early this year.  This was taken at the same time as “a word from above”.  the sky was absolutely amazing with colour and light.  This is virtually as it was captured in the camera with only a slight contrast adjustment in photoshop.

grasslands.....

“Grasslands”  was taken in the sand dunes of the Rosebud foreshore, Victoria, Australia.  Originally the sky was dull and overcast so I played around with levels and contrasts in photoshop then added a second image background layer to take the image away from the seaside setting.

the beginning in blue

 “The beginning in blue” was taken at the same time as “ethereal”. I changed the colour balance in the camera to achieve the blue colouring.

textures and photographs

Adding layers of texture to your images can really add a dramatic effect to what might otherwise be a plain photograph.  I find I generally use textures when I want to add some atmosphere or even an aged feel to an image.  Textures and dark vignettes work really well together to draw your eye to the main subject.

Here are a few examples of layered texure added to some images.  In my members zone at the galleria mancuso website, I have a section where I disect layered images and show what I have used to create the finished works.
