Insprired by the War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. This was taken a while ago and then edited heavily (colours and tilt-shift blur plus textures) to create the effect. I love the colours and the feeling of being drawn into the image.

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Magic added with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Society6 and as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, iPhones and cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).

I took images of the gates at Cherry Hinton Hall park on the way out from my 'park shoot'. I have a thing about cast iron work, especially the Victorian kind with its total attention to detail and love for organic shapes. This speaks to me of Victorian England and Jack the Ripper. All that's missing is the fog and blood spatter. LOL

Late Afternoon in the Park

Last week, when I needed a break from all the rushing around, knitting, wrapping presents and organising Christmas, I went for a walk in the park with my camera. I took lots of photographs for a new project, but also a few just for fun which I then played around with in Photoshop (TM).

This one was through the branches of a willow tree at the late afternoon sky:


This was through the branches of a different tree. I like the almost Rackham quality of the image.


This is the sunset all in peaches and apricots with a few dashes of vanilla. Looks almost edible to me:


This one reminds me of a horror movie. Maybe the view out of a frosty window.


This one was another picture of the early evening sky but I changed it so much that it now looks like a print on silk. I love the 'Japanese' quality of it.


Finally, the willow tree. I love willows and the rustling of their leaves in the wind. The original photo looked dreary and grey - like a proper English winter - but this now looks like a woodcut where you see the lovely lines made by the tree trunk and the branches. You can also just see the birches in the background.
