I have been taking photos every day of April, in this beautiful village, nestled amongst the Andes of Ecuador. Tomorrow is the last day of my photography project 30 Days in Chugchilan. Chugchilan is on the Quilotoa loop, near the famous crater lake. It is (relatively) near to Latacunga. Thanks to everyone for all your lovely photo comments through emails and Facebook. It’s great to see the effect photos can have on people across the globe. Here is one of the photos that proved to warm the hearts of many people. Please check out the photo project page and let me know what you think. P.S. Selected prints will be available to buy from my Gallery & Shop for the month of May 2010. Read More

In post production in Adobe Bridge, I used a split toning effect to give the image a slightly old fashioned, yellow tone. I used […] Read More
