Going over some old images from here from last September. In six weeks I will be back. Doing some subtle re-cropping and reprocessing to suit my tastes now and here are the latest renditions from what was a real highlight of the trip _DSC2233 - Version 4 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _DSC2232...

Anyone else heading sausageside for the Le Mans Classic next week?

A while ago @Craigus suggested some B&W's of my visit to Aiguille du Midi. I couldn't make it work the first few tries. B&W doesn't come to me naturally and it's more something I dabble in on a dull grey free afternoon rather than set out to process in. It's taken be the best part of a quarter...

Another series from my trip to Gavarnie in the French Pyrenees. On day one I arrived and took this from the trail round the Cirque du Gavarnie _DSC1019 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Wondering if I should take some off the bottom here. The weather wasn't doing much so I retreated and had a...

I had a wonderful time exploring the mountains opposite Marbore that from the Cirque du Gavarnie in September when I was over in France. Although these are taken over 5000ft high you can drive up a lot of the way and walk the rest rather than lug up tripods and cameras the whole way. The views...

Two from the Pyrenees from last months trip to France. I had a wonderful two days exploring the Ossau Valley and this lake. Unfortunately the very best flat water didn't come until the light had failed. The golden hour was wonderful but would want to go back with a few more clouds in the sky...

For those who know this needs no introduction. For those that don't Aiguille Du Midi is a mountain on the Mont Blanc Massif that sits over 12400ft above sea level and is one of, if not, the highest cable car ride in the world. The view from here, well it's epic and for someone like me who has...

I discovered this lovely lake in the Haute-Savoie region of France. Last month I did a 25 day tour of Europe (far more exciting than just staying here) and found myself here on day one. The plan was to go to Chamonix Mont Blanc the next day but the weather broke down so I ended up in Italy...

A while back I posted a B&W rendition of this image but I've come round to the colour version more recently. _DSC8013 (1) by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr

After much though and deliberation. Much thought about is this actually going to be worth it etc I've decided to see a psychiatrist who pushed me out the door and told me to get on with it. This is my first attempts at doing this kind of thing. Just doing this intro segment took 5 goes...

_DSC8025 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Finally after months of ignoring the big halo on the image and the sensor dirt on the camera I properly re-did this with some helpful critique regarding the crop from another forum.

I've been going over old files. Every day is a school day and I although I feel comfortable with PP your style evolves and your skills can only improve. I reprocessed taken exactly twelve months ago. I also found two dust bunnies on them. I thought I had them totally clear but naw!!!! The 1st I...

Spent a day going over some RAW files and reprocessing for last years Euro trip. One of the advantages of digital shooting is the ability to reprocess images and its easier to do that than make a 3000 mile round trip back to take a slightly better version. I believe we always are still learning...
