Gone but Not Forgotten

A combination of two images - a portrait of a young student and an old grave site - and a couple of my own textures - one of clouds and one or rust.

Textures on wheels

On a weekend to Wallaroo, South Australia, I come across this old railway carriage. The graffiti and paint combined with natural wear and tear created a myriad of textures.

Story Boards

Trying some storyboard techniques in Lightroom and Photoshop. I used a couple of Kim Klasson's templates for CS and one of my own. Not really storyboards in the true sense of the word - rather a collection of like images.

I found lightroom a little cumbersome and not able to vary the size of the actual image in the box.

Once I understood about vector masking the process in photoshop seemed quite quick.

Refining the look and getting the boxes to look balanced might be another problem.

Yvonne & David

David is the husband of camera club friend Yvonne Hill. Besides being a top bloke and full of life stories David makes a very good model, especially when he dons the hat and dry as a bone.

David in Mono

The two shots of David above were taken at a camera club shoot using one studio light, a single reflector to David's left and a nicely muted backdrop.

Using and image of David from the same shoot and combining it with and image of the old windmill in the Clare Valley I created this montage.

Hot Summer's Night

In June of 2008 the Para Camera Club spent the long weekend at Bungaree Station, just north of Adelaide in the Clare Valley. Over the course of the weekend I was able to capture a few of the club members. Of course, David featured heavily in many of the resulting images.

Images of David and Kelly Turnbull combined with the old gravestone and some textured background produced the image below. Not really sure what the story is (if there is one at all). You will just have to use your imagination.

Memories

Three of the Bungaree Mob, Neil Gray, David and Rolly (Steve) Robertson. I had fun adding David's hat to the other two heads in the photo. Photoshop is a magic pastime.

Wanted - Dead or Alive

David dons yet another hat and takes on that old world charm. These set of images were taken using the warm early morning light coming through a very large doorway - the entrance to the shearing shed on Bungaree station. David looks very much at home among the wool etc.

At the Market

I hope this is not the end of my photo efforts with David on the other side of the camera.

Thanks David.

Montage

I tried my hand at a few montages:

The Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage

Broken Dreams

Living in the 70's
