Grandmother's Treasures by

© 2010 Chris Armytage, Fine Art Photography, Daylesford

Two of my Grandmother’s favourite possessions – her old Australian Cookbook and her pearls …

Taken in natural light with a Canon EOS 450D, 55-250 zoom, hand held on full zoom. I added texture and colour adjustment layers from my own stock in Photoshop CS3.

About Chris Armytage™

I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t create, it’s as natural to me as breathing, especially now that we have the tools to achieve great art with digital photography. It’s so exciting and I feel that my creativity has finally come to fruition with these fantastic digital tools.
