Please Read:

This is a real photograph.
I can assure you that much.
It may well be the heaviest door ever carved by Satan himself.

My brother badly twisted his ankle helping, and my father and I had to carry this door across a field.

This idea isn't very original, but I wanted to be one of the few people who actually pulled it off in the flesh.

Here is the proof of the offending item [link]

The image is 3 photographs blended together. One with my father holding the door up either side, and one for the darker sky.

I haven't been submitting anything for about 2 years now. Rubbish I know.

University is coming to an end for me, and I am moving on to London with a very prestigious creative production studio. This means I will probably not be posting images here ever again possibly, as I will be focusing on images for large companies.

Anyway, if I don't post again, I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed this website. I hope this image will suffice as a kind of farewell gesture.

Deviantart was a very welcoming community when I started 6 years ago, and it still is to this day. I am sure many new young artists will find a home here.

If anyone wants anything from me in the future, please email gordonmcbryde@gmail.com

Au revoir,

Gordon McBryde

Post Processing Samples

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:07:19 PST

Some samples of my post processing work.
Contact me via email if you need to arrange any retouches.

I have decided to start providing a service that I haven't seen around.

I will be offering high quality retouches / edits. I will also include a personal tutorial of each image that I retouch so that you can see the step by step process.

I feel this is a useful way to get high quality retouching and essential information on the subject.

This will be done for £20 UK / $30 USA per image with a tutorial.

Here is an example of how your tutorial will be laid out visually:

I am sure many of you will think this price is too much, but please read on.

Each image takes at least 3 hours. Making a tutorial for each image will take over an hour. This means that I will be working for less than the minimum wage in this country. Most companies charge $100 per hour, if not a lot more. And they do not provide tutorials.

Please feel free to look at my previous retouching work.

If you are interested, please email me at gordonmcbryde@gmail.com

I look forward to working for you!

My brother and I were having supper (as one might in the evening). It had been absolutely pouring, but when we started to do the washing up the rain lessened and the light looked mesmerizing. I went into that photography frenzy because I new the light wouldn't stay for more than and hour. I grabbed my camera stuff and we jumped into his car. We drove for about 10 minutes and saw a good spot... but didn't know where we could park. We found a little side road a little way on. By this time God thought it would be a funny joke to start the rain again but even harder. It then occurred to me that I had nothing to protect my camera from the element. I grabbed the car windscreen shade thingamajig in my little hope that would suffice. Then started our sprint towards the above field. Have you ever tried to sprint holding a tripod/camera with a heavy lens covered by a long flat piece of material? It is not too easy. The shade thing clearly wanted nothing more than to fly away due to the wind. By this time I was sprinting a long the side of the road (a main) road looking entirely manic in my desperation to catch the last golden light.
We reached the field and turned to see a spectacular rainbow arching across another field. But I had nowhere to rest my tripod (except the middle of the busy road) so I hastily ran toward a sloping bank into a smaller field.
Now, by some strange desire of mother nature, the vegetation (that I had oh-so gleefully trodden upon at great speed) turned out not to be a solid floor. It was actually a mass of deep weeds and stinging nettles. Yay. You know what is feels like to walk up some stairs in the dark and you think there is one more than there actually is. That happened. So I began my fun descent... Everything in my mind slowed down, and the first thing that I thought of was the expensive equipment in my hand. I thought, "well, my body is getting hurt no matter what. Might as well save the camera". So I reenacted a classic ballet trick. You know; the one where they fall flat on their face but keep one arm high above them in the air. But my camera was safe! My face wasn't. But I didn't have time for my face, I waded through the plants into the field. I set up the tripod just in time to capture the rainbow.
