These images have all been digitally enhanced using Photoshop, and as you can see, some more than others! I use Photoshop a lot to create toned monochrome images because that's what I loved to do in the darkroom. I also like to create images with both black & white and small areas of colour in my work.......... Then there's images like the shot of the windmill, where you just let your imagination go wild. The windmill image was created for a 'Colour' competition. Colour is something it's not short of!

For a description of each image hold your mouse pointer over your selected image.

Celtic Graveyard - Created using layers in Photoshop from an infrared shot of the graveyard. - Minolta Dynax 700si, 24mm lens, Kodak High Speed IR film,1/15 sec @ f22.

BP Refinery, Grangemouth, colours boosted in Photoshop and a reflection created. - Minolta Dynax 7, 24-105mm lens, Kodak Elitechrome EC, 20 secs @ f8.

Parisian Lights - Solarised in Photoshop and coloured using layers. Photoshop levels was used here to create the dramatic sky. The hisory brush was then used to bring back some of the original colour of the image. Two separate images used here, an evening sky and a shot of a sculpture made from old gas cylinders. The sculpture was the sepia toned in Photoshop. Weird Windmill - This image has had just about everything done to it!

Glasgow Cathedral as you've never seen it before. Parts of the image have been inverted, some parts solarised, levels was also used to tweek the colours. This is the Eilean Donan Castle you don't see on the postcards!! Glencoe - The image was copied and flipped over to create a reflection, the sky was selected and decolourised.

Simple selective colouring on a black & white image. Four separate images were used using layers in Photoshop to create this image titled - 'Lest We Forget' The Find Edges filter was used here and along with a slight blue tone makes for a effective image.

A simple case of boosting the colour of this Glencoe sunset using Photoshop. Everybody who looks at this image thinks I've added the rainbows using Photoshop. There were two rainbows already there, honest!! All I did was to boost the colour and add the Paint Daubs filter. Another simple use of selective colouring of a black & white image.

The zoom effect on this image was actually done at the taking stage rather than in Photoshop. Although Photoshop was used to create the edges. Minolta Dynax 7, 24 - 105mm lens, zoomed during a long exposure. 2 secs @ f22, Fuji Provia 100 Portrait Of A Mountain Biker - Some creative use of Photoshop's layers The Glasgow Science Centre with a new sky courtesy of Photoshop!
