Another recent rework of a photo I took. I’ve been doing some more Photoshop work recently – an area of digital photography I’m getting more interested in. The more I get into it, the more I realise it’s a fantastic tool to get more out of what you take with a digital camera. Some say it’s cheating but I personally feel that it’s as much a part of the process of taking digital photographs as professional developing is with standard film cameras. In this example, I feel I’ve managed to turn what was quite an ordinary picture of an interesting subject into something a little more special. While not technically perfect (the padlock is a little overexposed), I think I’ve improved the original and if nothing else, I got some personal satisfaction and enjoyment out of the process and the end result.

Nice photo Mark, impressive post processing
