The Girls in Aberystwyth

Above taken with Kodak Easyshare 2.0 megapixels camera and then edited using Adobe Photoshop CS by adding a radial blur then adding a layermask and painting out the body and the top of the cliffs in the distance.

Above picture taken in Summer of 2004. My eldest daughter and I on the sea front in Aberystwyth enjoying an ice cream.

Action shot

I had great fun creating this image. Following a tutorial I managed to apply a motion blur to the image and then add a layer mask. This I then painted on to erase the blur on the trees and people in the background. I then added another blur filter and used a gradient to set the direction of the blur so that it appears that the camera is moving backwards or the ball is moving very fast towards it!!!

Half time?

Took a walk in Markeaton park on Sunday 9th August with my youngest daughter Libby. Managed to get some nice photos of her.
