Black and White Big Cat Photo

I have been lucky enough to take some time out from my usual photography in Cornwall with a visit to the Royan area of France for a few weeks.

This was a fantastic family holiday, which has left me with over 300 keepers (the best of the best photographs) to edit and present to my family. Oh I wish I did not have a camera at times!!! Only joking there, It was great and to be able to record the holiday through the lens with some fantastic shots is worth while.

This big cat was merrily sleeping while I took this photo. The photograph is almost as shot. I converted it in camera to black and white, then a little careful dodging and burning to increase the feeling of depth in the image, a crop to A4 format and a little sharpening. That is all the editing I have done!

The good news is since I have been back I have book a few more portrait shoots and have been working hard at marketing my work in the local area. I have also updated the way I sell images from this site. I now use Photobox to print images and send them directly to you. Have a look here for more information about my photographs for sale.
