abstract art in Photoshop®



Had a hard drive failure, (my backup's backup!) so I am pulling my hair out at the moment. I am now burning huge amounts of dvd's which I have concluded is the safest way to archive. Never had a dvd failure in 10 years. So I now have 2 copies on hard drives and dvd disks also. It's a pain but necessary. One day solid state technology will be so comforting.
Anyway, a few more photographs- these have been manipulated in Photoshop using Layers and Blend Modes. It's good fun experimenting and the foggy trees are part of an ongoing series, some of which can be seen on my website.

workshop holiday to bryce, zion, utah and monument valley




Working on a trip to Mid-West USA for next May 2009. I will be going to Bryce, Zion, Monument Valley, Canyonland, Antelope Slot Canyon and Arches. Did a similar trip last year and it was an amazing experience so next year I am hoping to take a few people on a photo holiday with a workshop type feel to it. If interested please visit my website www.timgartsidephotography.com for more info or email me at timgartside@ymail.com. The shot here is from the amazing Monument Valley which is run and owned by the Navajo people.

The other shot is from the Lake District in England and was taken in October 2008 during the autumn/fall period. It really is a beautiful place to visit at any time of the year.
