If you are interested in learning how to retouch and colorize in Adobe Photoshop 2022, find below a short tutorial explaining how to quickly do it. Without a doubt, my favorite new feature in Adobe Photoshop 2022 is one of the Neural Filter called Colorize. I used this filter with hundreds of black and white images and I am impressed. Bland and lifeless images suddenly come to life. With certain images the Colorize filter does a decent job from the start, but will look better if you spend a bit more time and fix any colour inaccuracies. Below are a […]

I visited Dino Park Rasnov recently and for someone who doesn’t believe dinosaurs ever existed I can say that I had a great time walking among these allegedly prehistoric creatures. There is quite a lot to take in and for that reason I filmed the entire experience with my Insta360 One X 360 camera for a full VR immersive experience.

Lucy Gaster contacted me and asked if she could use some of my drone images of Romford and Southend for a charity project she was working on. She didn’t have a huge budget, but needless to say the film is now finished, so if you’d like to take a look you can watch it here – Michael Landy’s Welcome to Essex – Documentary:
Below are some of the images I took during a relaxed family photo session in Rise Park, Basildon near Ozgo Productions.
Last night we’ve had an unexpected visit in the chicken coop with devastating results. Seven of our chickens were killed, two are missing and one managed to escape. We don’t know for sure who did it, but we believe it was a ferret. A few chickens were decapitated, some I found dead. One was dragged and left in the garden. The ferret must have taken the chicken with grey feathers because was the fattest. I collected all of them and pilled them up in one place. To my surprise the chicken who escaped climbed on top to pay her respects, […]
This morning around 5 am I have experienced a power outage in my area and the entire valley went into complete darkness. In all fairness, it was snowing quite heavily throughout the night and sometimes power lines can be affected. I don’t know what actually has happened, but luckily the power came back in about two hours. I took my phone out, turn off the flash and snap a 30 seconds long exposure image with the camera against the window. After a bit of processing this is the final image. On an overcast day this is how it looks like.
Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about a Romanian tradition called the Goat Dance. Capra is the name of a traditional Romanian dance, performed around New Year. It’s executed by a young man with a goat mask and a sheep skin on his back. The ‘goat’ and his companions go from house to house, dancing at each door on New Year’s Eve. This custom is first mentioned in Descriptio Moldaviae by Dimitrie Cantemir. FREE Digital Image Hungry for more beautiful images?

Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is of German Sausage from Basildon Christmas Market.

Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about the white trails planes leave behind in the sky: Contrails or Chemtrails? Allegedly, contrails or vapour trails are line-shaped clouds produced by aircraft engine exhaust or changes in air pressure, typically at aircraft cruising altitudes several miles above the Earth’s surface. Contrails are composed primarily of water, in the form of ice crystals. Some believe that long-lasting condensation trails are “chemtrails” consisting of chemical or biological agents left in the sky by high-flying aircraft, sprayed for nefarious purposes undisclosed to the general public. It’s true […]
