Amaryllis Lillies (a) pushed, pulled, tweaked and generally abused in Photoshop. No harm came to the real flowers which at all times remained more than two metres from the photographer...

They got therre before me and painted this one black. I was left with no option but to leave the rest of the picture in colour!
This marks 5% of my 1000 photographs. This is 16 days out of 365, or just 4.4% - I am a tad ahead of myself, but not enough to rest on my laurels!
All I need to do now is start getting people to come and look, and hopefully comment on the photographs, to help me develop my styles, understand my strengths and weaknesses and so on. Help please!

True old technology in the heart of the City of London where there must be the highest proportion of double mobile phone usage in the entirety of the planet, not to mention iPads and everything else. Why do we need these here, except that they give photographers something to do in Photoshop (I'm still only a one trick Pony!)

In my view this is probably the least attractive looking pub in the whole of the City, or possibly the whole of London, certainly from the outside. It is a good 30 years since I went inside it. And how can anything that looks like this be taken seriously when it is called "The Plough"???

Looking up from Moorgate with the Bank of England behind you, where London Wall crosses at the traffic lights. The building on the left with the plastic and the crane sticking out of the top is the prospective Moorgate Crossrail station. It is amazing the volume of work that is going into these major new stations. I will have to take the camera to Tottenham Court Road.

Day 4 and I am back home. This is with a 100mm Macro lens, tweaked in DPP, Canon's proprietary software. It somehow works for me. But you can tell I was processing it the same day as some of my Zurich photographs! Lots of colour distortion. I guess this is why I don't quite get the anti-HDR guys saying that you shouldn't use HDR because it is not realistic enough. You can do all sorts of things with photographs that are not HDR that still render them almost unrecognisable. Its almost like saying that you should only use the photograph exactly as it comes out of the camera - except nobody does...
