Arnold Brown a local New Mills man on his 100th Birthday sat beside his card from the Queen. Given an aged effect in Photoshop and a touch of sepia to lend itself to the Arnold's days as a farmer.

Here's a picture I took of my left eye using a macro setting and a bit of gigery pokery with the old Photoshop. It was originally used as an avatar on Facebook to good effect I thought.

I called this one Dark Side. It was a project from a Photo Magazine to demonstrate Layers using Photoshop. I had to grow a weeks stubble and front lighting to get that destitute effect. Not a pretty sight by any standard and when I used it for my profile picture on  facebook my daughter  pleaded with me to remove it!!

Here's an unusual shot of the Goodyear Balloon over the Etihad Stadium before the Apr. 2012 game v Man Utd. I suppose you could say the Blue Moon was rising over a good year for Manchester City

Football pics are really difficult to capture from the stands but this one from the City v Utd game came out quite well. You need a very steady hand or a tripod.

Another quite sharp shot considering it was taken in the away end with all the City fans standing. The action is set on the edge of the penalty area around 30 yards from where I was standing. So many fans try to get images like this one with their mobile phones but rarely achieve this standard.

Charlie Cat came to our family from the RSPCA New Year 2012 and after a very nervous settling in period he is now quite a happy little chappie. I took this shot in February when he really just wanted to sleep.
