All images were taken on a Canon 7D. The conservatory shots were taken with a Sigma 17-70mm lens whilst the garden photographs were taken using a Canon 60mm Macro lens.

All of the images are (within mild editing boundaries) straight from camera with the exception of the image below.

The images above show an original image and then one way in which it could be edited. The editing done was within Camera RAW and Adobe Photoshop CS5 where the blacks were increased, a sharpening layer was added, the smaller flake removed and the dust etc shown on the original image removed and darkened. Finally the image was moved slightly to the right to place it off-center which to me makes it more aesthetically pleasing.
