Hunter Kennedy - Photoshop Techniques

On Tuesday evening Hunter Kennedy (Carluke CC), one of Scotland's top amateur photographers, presented a Photoshop masterclass to a very attentive group of Lanark CC members and visitors from Carluke. First of all Hunter, by judicious use of "Layers", transformed a good Highland landscape into a brilliant image. He then demonstrated very clever, yet simple techniques to turn an ordinary clear woodland photo into a misty image with all the attention being focussed on an individual tree. Then, still using Photoshop, he transformed a Harris beach photo into a very ethereal image where the eye became very much focussed on the breaking waves. It was clear following later chat over tea that everyone had gained a lot from Hunter's step by step guide to using Photoshop to improve, enhance or even transform images from the ordinary to the special. David Gemmell accorded Hunter a well deserved vote of thanks for his most interesting presentation.
