Digital Creativity has resurfaced again, with a new lease of life, and more content to boot. This site has a lot of changes, so please enjoy.

Along with the manipulated images, I have added a digital photography portfolio.

Since the last time this site was updated, I have managed to add the Nikon D70s to my collection. Its been a long time coming, but at least I finally got there!

Unfortunately to "bandwidth theft", which is why the tutorials were taken down, and illness, I have done very little with this site, but now we are back (me and the site that is), and hopefully things will run more smoothly, and as my creativity is returning I hope to bring more interesting, and intriguing images.

I was figuring on using Flash within this site, but decided against it. Mainly because I want to show off my photographs and creative images, so you could say I didn't want to detract from them. Please be aware that this site is graphic intensive (mainly because of the photographs etc), but I am trying to keep the file sizes down to a minumum.

All my photographs are now shot in RAW format, which is effectively like having a "digital negative" to work from one the picture has been "digitally processed".

Shooting in RAW has many advantages. Take the image to the left. for instance. The RAW file was processed through Raw Shooter twice. Once for the foreground, and again for the sky. The two files were then imported into Photoshop and blended together using Layer Masks and the Gradient tool.

It seems that I am back into that experimental stage. At the moments it seems to be with photography itself, but rest assured more manipulated and fun images will be appearing.

I have found a great photography forum in the UK which hosts a bunch of great friendly people. Each week I will feature an image from this site which I feel stands out.
