I uploaded another entry about the cathedral a minute ago but I've taken it down for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I don't want this blog to appear like an ad for the Durham tourism industry, the cathedral is beautiful and all and I personally love just looking at at when I walk past on my way to lectures but I don't want to be characterised as the person who always takes cathedral shots! Secondly, I'm not sure if the photo was worthy of merit in photography terms since I mainly put it up because it's a shot of a beautiful and magnificent structure. Anyways, I decided to replace that post with one of this leaf. I'm not sure if the softening is a bit much, I might re-do a version without so much softening, I just wanted to highlight the frailty of this little leaf that I saw. Everything else is dying around it but it's just carrying on, and doing quite well by the looks of things! I hope you enjoy this shot, please let me know what your thoughts are regarding the softening or any other aspect. I take it is a huge complement when other photographers take the time to comment on my photos, I truly value your opinion!
This is the cathedral in Durham, pretty spectacular if you ask me!
This is the view from my window at home in Liverpool. I lowered the exposure on my camera a few clicks and the results were pretty spectacular. Given that this was my first attempt at taking shots of sunsets/sunrises I'm pretty happy with it! Let me know what you think...
I took this photo on the walk home from the same night-out I mentioned in a previous post, I applied focal black and white in Picasa and think the result is beautiful.
I decided to upload another photo today since I've decided to take the morning off (dissertation this afternoon, I promise). This photo was taken by the bank of the River Wear, I thought the orange wood looked quite impressive against the backdrop of the cathedral.
Hey, I've just downloaded this program called Autostitch which automatically creates panoramic photos. If the results of the test I've just ran are anything to go by then it's an amazing bit of software, and what's even better... it's freeware!
Check out some of the results, they're amazing!
I took this on the way back from a night-out in Durham last night, it was set to slow shutter speed and I must've moved it, hence the wavy street lights, but in a way I think it looks quite cool. Minor sharpening and saturation increase applied in Picasa.
