Manor house with early mist
-
Very very nice! It's not easy to create an image that evokes a mood, and you've done an excellent job with this!
-
beautiful!
-
Just beautiful.
IS the main house sunk below the ground level?
-
As I have said before,It really is all about mood for me,and every time I do one of these images,I am always amazed at how a small tweak to the overall colour tones can alter the mood drastically.
The house is actually on a couple of different levels.I have attached 2 screen snaps showing the Sketchup model.Screensnap 1 is the side in this render.

very nice

Really great images! Do you have any tutorials or videos showing how you composite an image?
a fan of your work!

Check the post processing forum for some great tutorials

A view from the other side

Incredible job with the water!! Wind rustled area and trail of the swimming bird
How did you do that?
Excellent ground cover variation. -
Bravoo!! Love it !
-
2 more from the lake side.The night shot is the daytime shot taken thru the step by step process I recently uploaded to the post-processing forum.The lights were painted in and copied around.
-
As its the festive season,Ive added some Christmas lights to the night scene.
-
Theres no such thing as too many lights...
-
-
Wow incredible
-
An un-cropped image with the full set of lights except the foreground ones which looked a little too clunky.
-
2 very different colour values for these 2 images.My preference is for the purple sky over the blue.I always find that blue skies are much harsher whereas soft evening light can create a mood much,much easier.

David,
Your skills are phenomenal in PS, I'm envious.
What I'd like to see is a wintery christmas scene, night time, lights, frozen stream, snow, etc.
A Christmas card

the christmas lights are great... so funny.
where do you get the material for your images?
-
Again,thanks for the comments guys.The materials are a mix of purchased entourage from places such as DOSCH.Some are elements rendered out of Sketchup and saved with an alpha channel, and some straight from photos,manipulated in photoshop.
I get my inspiration from everywhere,true life,magazines etc.But I am always looking out for something different..
The photo below is an example of the picture I will look at before starting a night shot.It has blues,yellows and oranges,all 3 of which I would try and envoke.Often I will blur the image so I can more easily see the colour values/tones and their relationship.I used to do a lot of painting and one of the tips I learned early on was to squint at the picture because the detail becomes secondary and its easier to see the colour relationships.
