Baking Planets - Photoshop Planets Made from Baking Trays

Solar System

Mars

Neptune


There are so many interesting and fun things to do with Photoshop and one of my favourites is baking tray planets, literally all they require is a baking tray and about half an hour each on Photoshop. The three I made here were created from two baking trays and a vase! If you use baking trays like I did it can create amazing planet like patterns and anything from plain barren landscapes to gas covered colourful worlds.

Long Exposure Photography - Fireworks

One of the best times to take Long Exposure Photography photos is during November 5th or Bonfire night. This collection of photos focuses purely on Long Exposure Firework photos. Using Long Exposure on a firework allows you to see the start of the firework to the last explosion, or you can put an entire Firework display in to one photo by setting it to a long exposure, I used about 30 seconds for most of the photos below.

Autumn Woodland Photography

This Autumn collection of photos focuses on the most recognisable features of an Autumn English Woodland. The photos use many different photography techniques including Long Exposure Photography in one of the photos. The biggest part of Autumn themed photography is the colours and textures, the main ones being orange and brown but some of the most bright and bold colours through out the woodland were whites and reds!

Doug Aiken inspired Text Photography

This collection of Text Photography is inspired by Doug Aiken, a well known American modern photographer from Los Angeles who works with sculpture and photography in many different ways. In this collection I have used text and photography to present the words in a visual way.

Long Exposure Photography

Long exposure photography is my favourite kind of photography and also one of the most interesting. When looking at a lot of long exposure photos I felt they were all quite similar if not the same so in this photo collection I have looked at stereotypical long exposure shots as well as some different shots using the same technique.
Long exposure photos are created by having a slow shutter speed (Having the cameras shutter open for longer) so it lets more light in over time. Therefore if you move light it captures it all creating light trails and patterns. I took these photos at Harwich International Port at 10pm in the dark which is a perfect time and location to take these kinds of photos as there is lights and movement going on throughout the night. Here are some examples of different long exposure photos I have taken.
