Blast from the Past

I’m sure it was a surprise to all of us when the apocalypse didn’t happen a few days ago, however with the days of continuous rain we’ve been getting, it’s certainly felt like the end of the world was coming. Today this has finally had a respite, but only because the gales have blown away the clouds.

All this of course has meant little chance of getting out and, after spending way too much time on the festive image left, I decided to reclaim my sanity and do something more practical – by having a clear-out of my storage drive, of which its 1 terabyte of space is now nearly half full of all of my RAW photographs.

This collection starts from my first introduction to digital photography back in 2006 and so far I’ve only completed going through the first few years having deleted plenty lot of images I would now think of as being poor quality. As these six years have gone by I like to think that, not only my photography has improved, but also my skills at processing the images and getting the best out of them. Also RAW and editing software has made advances and, in particular, to remove noise.

So, in order of date taken, here are some of my images that I either overlooked originally or have managed to re ‘process’ to get a better image out of them than my original effort.
