We live just in front of a nature reserve. Today I spotted a small heard of buffalo. You can click on the image below to enlarge, however – its not wonderful quality as I have a bad hand :/

I had some new picture taken for 2010 today. Here are my favorite ones. I know they are all of me – but this is “www.noelharrison.net” – so what do you expect?

So today I was sitting and thinking how much I love music, my first idea was to blog the lyrics – but that was not the ideal for me. So the solutions to this is to release an article “Music I Like” once a week with one of my favorite songs accompanied by a video / slide show of images from the week.

The first one can be seen below. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them.

So today (or more accurately – this morning), I was lying in bed and could see the sun was bright! So when I opened my curtains, I saw just how beautiful today was. After lazing around for a little, I got up and went into the olive grove and took the picture below;

Hello,

Here is another image edit that I did. It was an image that I took with some friends and well, I found this one in particular amazing! Why?

  1. The background is blurred (naturally – no digital editing)
  2. Nature is present in the form of the blurred grass in the background, but also in the granite(y) kind of rock under the feet
  3. The feet – Amazing as they display the prints of the toes wonderfully – lies of a journey and on the leg you can see a foot bracelet made out of string which adds a natural toning to the image

Well now that I have explained why I like the original image so much, here is my edited version of “the feet”;

Tell me what you think, room for improvement? Where? Let me know.

Enjoy,

Noel Harrison

I worked on two more images that were taken this evening near my house. I tried a few different things and here are the results. Please let me know what you think of them if you have a moment;

A few days ago I started to play with some images and wanted to see what kind of interesting effects I could apply to them. I took my own picture and black and whited it and left only the beach towel and shirt in full colour (however I did play with the contrast a bit). See below;

Then I decided to try with a friends image. In my opinion his turned out the best by far. I did more or less the same as I did with my own, but then decided to blur the background to add focus on the main person in the picture – him. See below;

Then lastly, someone saw what I was doing and asked me to make them one, so I did. But I took the person and made them black and white and kept the coloring for the background (played with the contrast again and also sharpened the image). See below;

So what do you think? Which one do you think looks the best. Room for improvement? Tell me.

I am in no way a real good photographer, in fact a few of these images quite possibly could of been taken by a friend of mine – we both took some photo’s on the same camera. Just though I would let you see what it looks like in the area that I live – and what it looks like to see the rain passing by. You can sometimes hear the rain approaching you from down the road, so if you’re outside, you know that you have a few seconds to relocate;
