Two views of Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. Both taken while walking down the long windy road back to the cafe and tourist shops.
Looking at both these photos I decided that a mono approach would suit the subject much better. I used my currently preferred Lightroom plugin for B&W, Topaz B&W Effects2. I do have other software that does a similar job but I’m finding Topaz just suits my style better. Some additional dodging and burning done using Adobe Lightroom.
If you like what you see just click on the Topaz link in the sidebar to either try out or purchase a copy for yourselves.

We took a quick diversion into Glastonbury on route back to our holiday cottage as the light looked promising following a day of drizzle. Was quite pleased with how these came out.

Kilve Beach, Somerset
A great beach to explore and especially great for fossil hunting. It doesn’t look it but it was really windy that day.

Cragside
A stunning location now run by the National Trust and well worth visiting. Taken last year during our holiday in Northumberland.

I’ve been neglecting this blog somewhat so it’s about time I got things started again.
I’ve decided to start posting new pics here as well as uploading to Flickr, just to keep things ticking over. These will consist mainly of just pictures with little or no text to accompany them. So lets kick things off with a few pics taken during our new years holiday to Somerset. Apologies to those who may have already seen these posted to Flickr.
Thanks for stopping by.
