Images of the Earth from space give us a truly remarkable view of our planet. Google Earth has blasted these images into the homes of millions of users, blending satellite and aerial photography to create a fantastic resource (hey, I can see my house… no wait, my cat!). However, there is something the patchy, icon-ridden montage doesn’t always capture…

Recently even Photoshop has been imbued with the power of ’3d’. Something I have not had the opportunity to experiment with until recently. And crikey. It’s not just 3d that Photoshop can cope with, but apparently it can deal with video clips too.

Previously I have taken a break from intensive digital imaging to experiment with alternative processing. This has refreshed my outlook and now I intend to build upon the story woven last semester. My last project involved the production of images with an antique aesthetic, documenting the life of William Lycanthorpe, a fictional 19th century astronomer. I now intend to turn the wheels of time and explore the universe and our views of the cosmos in the future.

Seals on the beach, very obliging subjects as they tend to just sit and watch you watching them; provided you don’t get offensively close!
