Barn door and coke

By trcwestPhotoBlogtexture8 Comments

coke-and-door

Coke manages to get everywhere especialy in third world countries. I do like and enjoy coke but did you know that if a kenyan had the choice of buying a shoelace that he needed or a coke he or she would buy a coke. i cant quote that but i was told by someone that that was the case. I think the problem is that they do make a huge amount of money but i cant see the money being put back in. Maybe i am wrong but that is the case at least from the outside.

I liked the barn door as it had some subtle detail that was quite catching.. also the contrast to that of the Coke ad.

A hole in the wall

By trcwestPhotoBlogUncategorized3 Comments

A cool shot that i took whilst watching my bro doing some horse riding it was at this cool old show ground and the buildings were pretty retro. There will be more so keep checking back every so often.
This is simple an overlay effect with a slight Gaussian blur and booted levels. A few more tweaks but that’s how i did it.
Do you like the processing and the texture?

Cool Clouds

By trcwestPhotoBlogclouds4 Comments

simple_clouds

So here we have it number two in the little cloud series.. as the last clouds image was a bit to stylised I decided to go for a simple yet still quite contrasty shot of clouds in the Rift Valley

Thanks to everyone who constructively criticised the last blog post i think this one is a bit better. Do you agree?

The main proccessing was just the cammera raw imput settings into PS.

Panorama of The Great Rift Valley in Kenya

By trcwestPhotoBlogLandscape, Panorama, Wide angle3 Comments

great_rift_valley_2

Here we have a cool stylized panorama of the great rift valley in Kenya. I have added the vignetting manually. I felt it suited the fish eye effect that is almost present here.

It was a great trip up to Nakuru nice to see more of Kenya.

Do you like the vignetting and the high contrast?

The sea at Boscombe Beach Bournemouth

By trcwestPhotoBlogSeaside, Uncategorized5 Comments

I like the way this had a strange depth to it from the angle i took it at. Would you have guessed that i took it from a cliff top?
The soft waves to dark ones are quite interesting too. It would have been more interesting if it was more wavy.

Boscombe beach: views from a stealth plane ?

By trcwestPhotoBlogdiptych, Negative6 Comments

beach_dipictyr

After the success of Faboulously freesing Freshford i decided to have another shot at this one. i liked the way the sky turned out on the negative and how it looks like you are looking at something from a plane at 30,000 feet above sea level. The other thing is the way i have reflected the image almost looks like a stealth fighter plane. Do you agree??

Do you prefer this one or the Fresford
