Scenes of Stratford-upon-Avon

When I take our dog for a walk, I slip a small camera into my pocket and simply snap the scenes of Stratford-upon-Avon that I see.  When I return home, I quickly upload the pictures to my computer and process them through Photoshop.  I use a combination of Photoshop Actions and ‘play’ with the images until I find something that appeals to my eye.

Here are a collection of some of my pictures – click on them to take a better look:

All this is within 5 to 10 minutes of my door-step.  It seems foolish to measure wealth in terms of money.  When you take the time to look around you – i mean really look, you begin to see just how wonderful life is.

My grandfather used to paint and photograph the local scenes (-a number of which adorn my office wall -) and he would be interested to see what I am doing with my photographs – I like to think he would approve

I hope you enjoyed these scenes from Stratford-upon-Avon and maybe they will inspire you to look more closely at what is on your door-step!
