Photography

Apart from indoor and outdoor photography for websites, I maintain a portfolio of general photography, mostly around Topsham and Exeter.

Image editing

I have facilities for the scan and digital repair of damage typical in old photographs, such as tears, scratches and fading. I can remove 'periodic noise': the repeating patterns on images scanned from newsprint or printed on textured paper. Problems of poor focus and camera shake can be improved in some cases.

I can also help with other photographic problems such as indoor or outdoor locations with a large field of view where panoramic stitching of images is necessary.
