Scanning Process

This is the scanning process for getting images of your work onto computer, first you preview the image and then scan it, you then save it to your desktop to be saved onto your memory stick.

here is the image after being cropped. Scanning it instead of taking a photo is a much better way to upload pictures and this also produces better images.

another photo modification

Here i have changed the properties of another photo that i took to turn it into an abstract pattern, this works well because the leaf structure already looks like a pattern because of the shape of the leafs.

photo modifitcation

 
Here i have modified the top photo to change it into the one beneath it. I have adjusted the levels of a few things including contrast and shadow to highlight the green colour to make it more fantasy based and different.

experimenting with pattern

    These paintings and the biro drawing are just myself trying out painting patterns to get an abstract
    pattern which i think i got especially with the bottom one.

High spots of Clevedon

    These photos are taken from quite a high area to photo a large area of my hometown, Clevedon.
    In succession the weather gradually gets better as i walked along the area which helped the image
    by a fair bit.

photos of nature

   On my walk through the woods with a camera i decided to capture a few images of the surrounding nature. I was trying to find patterns that look almost purposefully made.

modifications

I modified the way one of the arial images looked like by ajusting the curve and exposure levels to darken the lines and background of the image, which i think now stands out more and is more defined.

arial views 2

These mono prints are a combination of an arial view and an ink technique, they work well together because of the style used in the process. in sequence together they form a type of old naturally formed  map of an area with a rough feel and sketchiness that really works well. I have also now added a water mark to show that its my creation.

landscape sketches 2

What you see here is the result of me trying to sketch images from out of a holiday magazine. I used
a black felt tip for a bold image, the placement of the things in the image as well as in the photo they where drawn from have used the golden ratio to achieve an image that loos and feels right to most people, this is just due to the fact that certain placement of objects in an image looks nice and is almost a cheap way to get a good picture.
