Shetland Silhoutte

Daily Post
The figure in this image makes it, it isn't brilliant yet could pass with a bit of processing. Opinions?

Istanbul - Tilt and Shift

This image has been processed with Focus and a rathe brilliant app called analogue. It was taken in Istanbul, in the same trip as some of the previous images I have processed. However this one was taken by the Golden Horn, showing the bustling ferry wharf.

One Post a Day

I am going to start a one picture per day scheme, which displays either a freshly edited or a freshly   taken image every day- enjoy here is the first one.

School Prospectus - Safety hazard

I have been commissioned to do the new HCHS school prospectus, an interesting task, a least. One of the images that I can post as they are people free is this rather amazing science experiment, that was especially laid on for the photo.
Minimally Processed - Only cropped

This amazing sunset appeared on our last night in Shetland, very noisy yet it doesn't respond very well do de-noising, hence the filter to mask that slightly. The filter was applied with Analog, a very good app from the Mac App Store.

Shetland light- the best in the world, and with a lovely silhouette.

The Grand Bazar, Istanbul 

Shetland 2013

Edited with Focus, Lightroom and Pixelmator. Taken in Unst, during the Easter break. Beautiful evenings and long sunny days.

This image has been edited with snapseed and was taken in a park near our hotel.

I now have a Instagram page - search for richqwerty to see some brilliant other images.

Marden church

Sunset church in the pretty Herefordshire town of Marnden. Worth a visit.

Vimy Ridge

Memorial to the unfound dead of the Canadian forces.

Machu Picchu

This is the first photoshopped image of Machu Picchu, not much has been done to it so far.

Glacier

This is a glacier seen from the camp on the Lares trail. It was beautiful in first light. Cropped.

Typo Apologies

Apologies for the typo - meant to say shot. Has been amended.

Water fall

This was taken with the last light of the evening, the camera was balanced on a rock as a substitute for a tripod. The water fall was so poorly lit that it was pointless to try and take it on a fast shutter speed, so instead i tried to capture the fast movement without a tripod and with a slow shutter speed. It was taken using full manual, which have been using more and more recently. It was shot somewhere between Cusco and the Sacred valley. The stars came out half an hour later and that night it was down to minis eight!!
18-55mm vr lens
No flash

Mountain communities

This is a image of an Andean woman, sitting with her back to the mountains, it has not yet been photoshopped.

What do you think?

Lares Trek photos

Right, here are the first images of the amazing Lares trail, it was breathtaking. Some amazing views of snow capped peaks. I have taken a total of 20gb of images during the trek, and me and my camera have traveled many, many miles and have been to my highest altitude so far, roughly four times the height of the highest peak in the UK (Ben Nevis). At night it went down to minus eight yet during the day it reached the upper teens. Glad to be able to sleep properly again!
Many more photos coming!

46km trek

Successfully completed a trek across the Andes, with some stunning landscape photos. They will come later, but for now here is a selection of phone camera images to give a starter preview.

This is a gold or gold leaf Inca statue of an Inca king, which is also a fountain in the main square of Cusco
