Parliament
I’ve been doing more work with textures using Perfect Photo Suite from onOne Software. And I’m having an absolute blast doing it. This is one that I am particularly happy with. I stood at this spot on the Themes, just a few yards left of the London Eye, for about an hour waiting for the …
The Way In
This is the entry way to the guest quarters at Warwick Castle. It is hidden behind a gigantic iron gate and covered by thick vegetation above, creating this gorgeous path. The day my son and I toured the castle, we went out of our way to get this shot. We did have to hustle a …
