I get as much enjoyment out of the post processing part of digital photography, spend as much time trying to keep up with the developments in the digital darkroom as with the cameras themselves. 
I think that with so many people out there taking photos nowadays, we all need some other strings to our bows to get noticed. 
So, this section on my site will cover a bit of that, and look under the bonnet at some of the pieces that I create.
15th January 2023
2023 continuing as 2022 ended, with endless days of darkness and dampness. Dreich as we say. Trip to the local DIY store to pick up a toilet seat replacement and usual procrastination stop to take photos delay to doing the DIY trying to capture how saturated the place is just now. Then an idea started to form...

After 40 days and 40 nights (feels like that anyhow), a gull returned with a branch from a fly-tipped Christmas tree and lo!, the floods had receded enough so that the local council skips could be accessed again (No ID, no rubbish dump) and the festive period flotsam and jetsam could be collected for land fill once more.

The final image above. My wee boy's Boy Racer wheels lending some much needed colour and Old Testament vibes added to reflect the biblical rain we've experienced.  
The images below show the creative process taken to get to the image above - with some scribblings and captions to cover and try to explain the steps taken.
