Welcome!

Hi there!
This is the official blog for Abraxis Photography, a place where I'll post any new, interesting or just enjoyable photographs that I have taken.

I'm very much an amateur photographer, having just bought my first digital SLR camera a few weeks ago. I'm still within the initial period of excitement, where the possibilities seem endless; I'm also fully aware that photography is a very difficult (and subjective) artform, and one that I hope to improve my skills at over time.

All comments are welcome, though of course I would prefer any criticism to be constructive! Advice on anything from composition, technique, lighting, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for viewing and I hope you enjoy the photos!

Monochrome Graffiti

I took this photograph in an underpass in Kendall in the Lake District. It was a beautiful day, hence the quite nice lighting which I allowed me to push the contrast ever so slightly to achieve a more striking monochrome effect than I had hoped for! The original was shot in colour, but I found that dropping the colour data and adjusting the Hue/Saturation layers as well as the colour channels in Photoshop gave a much fuller, 'arty' image.
Snapped using Canon 1100D D-SLR with 18-55mm lens with natural lighting
