The News.

Just got back from my recent holiday on Sunday evening! I was on a cruise around the Canary Islands. After a long drive down to Southampton (over 500 miles), we got onto the ship. I was overwhelmed by the size of the ship! It was with Royal Caribbean, the ship was 'Independence Of The Seas' First stop was Madeira, that really was a lovely place. We went up on a cable car right up a big mountain, my mum was terrified :lmao:. The next 3 stops were Tenerife, Gran Canaria & Lanzarote, my favourite was deffonetly Lanzarote =). The next stop on the way up was Vigo, Spain. As we docked we were informed about a "Peaceful demonstration" that was going on outside the port, turns out there was rubber bullets fired and tear gas :O Walking through the streets, there was several burnt out cars and smashed windows. Anyway just thought i'd let you know where i'd been and what i'd been up to :D





My Equipment.


At present, my choice of DSLR is a Nikon D80.

My lens' include:
-Nikkor 18-70
-Nikkor 105 Macro

I do all my post processing in Photoshop CS3 and Aperture 2 on a MacBook! My printer preference is an Epson R360.

At present, my filters include:
- Cokin Tobacco Grad

Lets say its going to be bigger and better than what i did with you before as this time i plan to use stock photography which will have a celtic theme to it well kind of or on the verge of fantasty/surreal complete with the water being animated lightning behind the castle and so on
Hi Matthewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Hey Andrew!! =D
How are you doing? =)

--
Please don't stop the music :music:
I"m doing well Matthew
just trying to keep up with all the people who watch me
any way you were asking a while back about Suburban Knights so i thought i would let you know that i am now going to make a start but this time i will try and keep to your original piece if thats alright
Yeah, that's no problem Andrew! =)
What have you got planned for Suburban Knights then? =)

--
Please don't stop the music :music:
well a while back i had a go at adding some lightning to suburban knights then kind of went for a red sky
followed by trying to getting a reflection of it in the water

but this time i might keep it as it is but say add a moon then blend this in to the water so that when i animate this you will see not only the castle but the moon too
