Theres a tiny village in Mid Wales called Bont Dolgadfan and this is the smallest cottage there. I used one original image and processed it in Photoshop. / Layer modes and adjustment layers were used. / Curves, levels, dodge and burn, were also utilised. / Several layers in total and a fair amount of time used. / Copyright 2007 richiedean Clickable images

A montage of my photographs, the traditional Scottish Croft was photographed on the magical Isle of Ulva, Scotland and the woods were photographed on a misty morning in July on the Isle of Mull, Scotland.
This was taken at a dam in Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills, Australia in winter at dawn. We don’t get any snow in Adelaide, as our summers are very hot. There is still some fog around on the water. This is pure bliss to me. This was taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera, on a tripod. This was taken because of the mood created with the fog, the winter sunlight lighting up the boat and the 3 waterfowl swimming in the opposite direction to the boat.
This was taken on a lake, at Oakbank, in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, Australia. It was early morning, so there was still some mist around, on the lake. Tripod was used. There is nothing better than being up early on a cold winter’s day and being greeted with such a beautiful setting. A Canon DSLR EOS 350D camera was used. I took this because of the incredible light, mist and mood that it offered. It was also my husband and his sister bonding very early in the morning.

A compilation of 7 images, mainly from the stunning area around Beddgelert in the Snowdonia National park, Wales, UK. / I thought that I’d try and tug at a few emotions with this one …..... when out walking you always hear the lambs calling thier mums when they manage to wander off and get seperated …..... Software ~ Adobe Photoshop CS3 Tutorial for the DigitalArt Compilations group I opened the seven images that I intended using. / I chose my background image. / Using the lasso tool, I selected an area off another image and then dragged it onto the background layer using the move tool. / Once it was in position I then added a layer mask to it, after selecting a soft brush and picking black I brushed out any unwanted areas of the dragged image. / I repeated the process with the remaining images. / Everytime you drag an image on, photoshop creates a new layer and to ensure each image tied in, I adjusted the levels for every one. / Once I had all of the components in place, I merged all visible layers. / I then duplicated the layer. / Now it was time for the dodging, burning, curves, unsharp mask and render filter. / Finally merge visible layers and save . / Copyright 2008 Richie Dean VISIT MY WEBSITE .
Situated in the rugged and beautiful mountainous area of Snowdonia, this cottage is a stones throw or two, from the picturesque village of Beddgelert. / I was drawn to it, because of its relative isolation, you know, the get away from it all factor …........

This is a traditional 18th Century farmhouse situated in Mid Wales UK. / The three doorways on the right, were access for the livestock, they occupied that half of the building, the farmer and his family lived in the other half ….... / The property is situated a mile from the main road, along a beautiful valley, where salmon fight against the river to spawn further up …...... This was opened in PhotoArtMaster and altered in 5 layers. / That image was imported into Photoshop. / After several adjustment layers, I was happy ….....

Artwork from Ireland. I came across this little old cottage in The Aran Islands off the coast of County Clare/ County Galway on the west coast of Ireland. I’m sure there was a pot of tea brewing on the stove there many many years ago. These tiny fields are dating from The Great Irish Famine of the 1840’s Ireland. That’s the sea in the background. This image has been colour enhanced digitally for more dramatic effect. / Featured on the RedBubble Homepage on 17th/18th March: / Featured in: Cottage Style – 13th March 2009.

A croft is a very small farm, or smallholding. Sheep and a few cattle will be kept, and maybe a few crops grown, mostly potatoes, since they do well on the often wet and impoverished soil. Summer is a very short season at this Latitude (57 degrees North) Very few people will make a full living from crofting, and have other full- time employment. There are also quite a few ‘holiday cottages’, or second homes, purchased by ‘incomers’ / since many indigenous folk have given up the crofting life for what they consider to be an easier, or more attractive living. / The weather here can be pretty unforgiving !! / Tarskavaig, on a day like this, sits in a very idyllic situation , with the Cuillin hills as a backdrop. The mountain here is known as ‘The Blaven’. Shot on a Canon EOS 40D, f22, with polarising filter, on tripod, single RAW file, processed in PS CS3 with Levels and Curves adjustments. LAB colour employed to saturate the colours. / The line of cottages was used to draw the eye into the scene.

This wonderful cottage in Canada belongs to a friend and has been in his family for many years. I loved the vintage bedrooms and the summer feeling looking out the window. / Leica V-Lux 1 This wonderful song takes me back to another summer era. /
Hiking again, close to home, down a narrow country lane, I discovered this derelict cottage …. love the timber frame, I think the corrugated roof may have been quite noisy in our rainy climate !! A shame to see it in this state of decay though ….......... Canon 300D 18-55 lens / Photoshop CS3 / PhotoArtMaster / Layer upon layer …..... Newtown, Mid Wales, UK Copyright 2009 Richie Dean
Suisinish is an abandoned village reached after a rough hour- long walk from Kilbride, near Torrin, Isle of Skye. / This old cottage is too modern to have been one of the dwellings where the folk were evicted to make way for the sheep, which were more profitable to the greedy landowners of the time. Many of the families were separated, and forced to emigrate to America, Canada, and Australia. / I cannot begin to feel their anguish. / There are many ruins scattered around the Brae (hillside), evidence of a thriving, close-knit community torn apart by human greed. Maybe this bulding was built early in the twentieth century, I have no idea and can find no information. / Back to the present….. / There was quite a wait for some usable light, a chilly fierce wind was blowing, rain was brewing, nothing new ! We sat in the shelter of one of those deserted ruins, eating a cheese piece, ( sandwich ) and a cheering cup of hot coffee from the thermos, reflecting on how ‘they’ lived then, compared to us nowadays, and watching the sheep that are now the only inhabitants of this beautiful place. / Rowan trees were planted in the belief they kept evil spirits away, and it is considered very bad luck to cut one down, even today ! This cottage is surrounded by them, I guess the magic didn’t work. A three shot HDR. CanonEOS 40D mounted on tripod, iso 100, auto wb, f22, RAW files converted in Photomatix, and touched up in Adobe CS3. / A little Orton also applied to ‘pop’ the texture of the stone. / A slight vignette added.
