Thanks, Billy is a tin 1/2 filled with water you place on the fire to make a cuppa :-)

Great images! I can never get any this good! Although i do take photos of a fire inside a fuel stove so maybe that has something to do with it too (plus there is usually a fluroscent light on in the kitchen).

Experiment with fractalius, just don’t overdo it … also create a selective colour layer and play with red and yellow channels .. only other thing I did here was lay a ‘Glamour’ layer on top at 20%, this is a Virtual Photographer filter.

Looks like i might have to consider investing in a post-processing program of some sort…
I only shoot “straight from the camera” as i have no idea of what to do when it comes to photoshop, etc.
i think i’ll just have to continue admiring other artists works for now.

what post production program do you use Darren and is is available off the web?
Darren Post replied
Hi Bec,
I used Fractalius, I find it’s great to bring out the lines / detail on certian images. I also use the Virtual Photographer to enhance … I add new layer on top and control opacity so as to not overpower original image.
