Autumn Glory by Julie Holbeche-Maund
was taken at Harthill Hayes country park during the autumn last year.
Using a slow shutter speed and high depth of field. Processing was very light just a boost of colour.

Birmingham New Street by Julie Holbeche-Maund
was taken by setting the camera to multiple exposures and slow moving the camera in all directions
to create the image. this shot is out of camera.

Blue Bell Wood by Gary Wood
This was at Harthill Hayes country park and was the first of a 3 image merge. This and another being taken on a tripod.
For this image the camera was angled up, set to a long exposure and the tripod head tilted down during the exposure.
The second image camera set to short exposure and image take from where the head had finished.
Then a third image added extra larger bluebells.

Centre Of The Circle by Paul Steans
After many unsuccessful hand held attempts I changed to my 70-300 lens which has a tripod collar and
placing it on the tripod was able to spin it so that the red cosmos flower remained in the centre.
Shot at half a second, f14, iso 100.
Processed in Affinity Photo I copied the layer and changed blend mode to overlay and boost the effect.

Crotchets by Peter Lawrance
This was taken using some small coloured lights against a black background using ICM. Tidied up in LR and PS.
The finished result reminded me of musical crotchets.
2.5 seconds at f.4.0 ISO 80 with a 24-120 lens at 60mm. Nikon 850.

Warwick Castle by Paul Steans
I had taken a few images by quickly flicking the camera about my wrist, a technique used by a Youtuber I watch
called Andy Gray, where he creates very painterly images of mostly iconic landmarks, which I quite like.
In Affinity Photo I combined 4 images setting the opacity of the added layers to a low value to try and get the look
I was after. This is my first attempt but I have a very long way to go!
