Not far from Tunbridge Wells, lies Salomons Estate. Salomons is actually a hotel and a museum. And one thing I like about Salomons Estate is that members of the public can stroll around their gardens and woodland. On their website…
Patti chose the topic history for this week's Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. Here is the South East of England we are steeped in history. The above house at Nymans in West Sussex was built around 1839 by a man called George…
Nancy set this week's A Photo a Week Challenge as Cityscape/Townscape. So my entry for this challenge had to be an image of Canary Wharf. Learning something new... I knew that you could click and then shift-click to draw a…
Amy's topic for the Lens-Artist Photography challenge is Architecture. So I thought I would show you a gallery of architecture images photographed at the various locations we have travelled, including the South East of England, Yorkshire, California, Las Vegas and…
One of the things I love about Topaz Studio is the ability to combine presets. By combining various presets together it gives you a vast variety of options when editing images. My original image of Penshurst Place was first of…

When I woke up, eventually, this morning, the sun was shining, so I said to the better half, 'How about a run up to Hall Place?'. Naturally, he agreed and so we headed up the A2 to Hall Place. Even…
Way back in 2012 when we were 6 months into our photographic journey, we went to London and visited Tower Bridge. Whilst processing the image in Lightroom and Photoshop I wanted to take it to another level. So, first of…
We hadn't been out taking images for months, what with real-life events, some good and some sad, however, rain or shine we were going out. We went to Smallyhythe Place near Tenterden, and true to form, the rain came with…

It is time for Mid-Week Monochrome again, and this time for my submission I thought I would post a monochrome photo of Smallhythe Place in Tenterden, Kent. The processing of this photograph was done in ON1 Raw 2018.5 and consisted…
During our visit to North Yorkshire, one of the places we visited was Nidd Gorge. As we strolled around the wooded area, at the end of the walk was a bridge that crosses the River Nidd. From this bridge, you…
At the moment I am really liking this soft style of processing and creating images which are a little more saturated. The above image was photographed at the rear of the visitor centre. Firstly why I chose the rear…
My entry to Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Mirror images or reflections.
Carrying on from Matt's Luminosity Colouring in Photoshop... I thought I would try this technique on a set of images which I turned into a panoramic shot of Penshurst Place. Oh boy, can you play around with the colours, using…
What I love about Luminar is the various tools you get with the software... especially the Orton Effect and Sunrays. The photograph above is one completed in Luminar before importing back into Lightroom. Once in Lightroom, I decided to create…

The topic for this week's photo challenge is called Corner and you are asked to type of corner evoke emotion within yourself. Well for me it has to be corners in Architecture. Especially when you have such great architecture like…
Arthritis is such a pain... and lately my hands have really been hurting and I have noticed that some of my photographs have a lot of camera shake when I am using my heavy DSLR. I love my Canon EOS70D…
This week's WordPress Photo Challenge theme is called Bridge. WordPress ask you to post a photograph of a bridge. To me, a bridge is something that takes you from one place to another. Whether it be a void, a river,…
