July Title - Marooned

 

How I did it - I had been trying to get a picture of the boat. As I was walking away the biplane came. I added the plane into the blank area of sky in one of my boat pictures. I the applied the vintage photo effect which is an option in Photoshop Elements. I felt that it suited the subject.

Member Bio
John Hackett

I live in Coventry, England along with my wife Dawn. Photography has been a passion of mine for many years, whiling away the hours in a darkened room I have always been interested in manipulating the images I have taken. As the computer gradually invaded my life I saw the 'light' and now play with my images digitally.
I have been involved with photographic clubs in my local area since the late 1970s, and a member of the Royal Photographic Society since the mid 1980s.My membership of PSA began in early 2001.

Photographically my current equipment Consists of a Nikon D80, with 18 -135 and 75-300 zoom lenses, and a Fuji Finepix s7000 digital camera

As far as photographic subjects are concerned I will point the camera at most things with preferences for landscapes, natural history and sports (as long as it involves wheels).

When it comes to the digital side of things I use Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, on a custom built system, with an AMD Athlon 1060Mhz Processor,1024Mb RAM and an 80Gb Hard Drive.
