Skylum Software and Topaz Labs affiliate information – sticky post

Hi everyone,

Regulars to my blog will have noticed my recent postings regarding my membership of Skylum Software and Topaz Studio affiliate programmes.

This blog, my website/Pixels account, my domain names, my online gallery and my Flickr PRO account are, and have always been, paid for entirely out of my own pocket.

In joining these affiliate programmes anyone who decides to purchase any of their software products using one of my affiliate links provides me with a small commission which will help with my running expenses. I only associate myself with products that I personally use and that I’ve found to be well-designed, innovative and useful. Both companies offer trial versions of their software products on their websites.

I have a US$10 discount code which can be used when purchasing Skylum Software using my Slylum affiliate links and a 15% discount code which can be used when purchasing Topaz Labs software using my Topaz affiliate link.

I’ll keep everyone posted on any software updates, new products. deals, promotions, coupon codes etc. that come my way from both companies. I have added two new pages to my site menu so that I can publish information on Skylum and Topaz products.

Affiliate links:

Skylum Software – Aurora HDR 2019

Skylum Software – Luminar 3

Topaz Labs Software Products

Coupon codes:

Skylum Software products US$10 discount code – LEIGH10SKYLUM

Topaz Labs products 15% discount code – LEIGHTOPAZ

Please use my affiliate links to visit their websites to use these codes at the checkout.

Kind regards

Hi everyone,

I have been accepted as an affiliate of Topaz Labs software. I use several of their software products in my work including their Sharpen AI, AI Clear and A.I Gigapixel software as well as their Topaz Studio software and several of their plugins.

I will publish more info in the near future, in the meantime here’s my affiliate link:

Hi everyone,

for a bit of fun I thought I’d make a new 3840×1080 dual monitor wallpaper from two of the beautiful stained glass windows that I photographed in my recent visit to All Saints Church. 🙂

“In a sky full of people, only some want to fly Isn’t that crazy”.

Welcome to my blog. I work in a variety of techniques and styles including landscapes, riverscapes, abstract and surreal. I hope that you find my work appealing and of interest. I take photographs because I really enjoy photography. I endeavour to create digital art because I LOVE art.

My fascination with computer graphics began about 35 years ago with some software that I got on a free floppy disk on the cover of a computer magazine and ever since then I’ve been hooked. I’ve come a long way since then, the software that I use is now much more sophisticated but my enjoyment hasn’t in any way diminished. I got my first camera at the age of 9, a battered old twin-lens reflex camera which my grandfather “loaned” to me and my first serious camera, a 35 mm film camera, in my late teens.

For me there are only a few things that are of prime importance in a camera and lenses. They have to be small, light, well built, reliable and take well exposed and sharp images. The thing that I most enjoy about photography is finding subjects/locations and imagining how they might look when I’ve had a chance to work with my images. So there’s a sort of feedback loop already going on in my head when I’m looking around and taking pictures.

What the camera sees is one thing what my mind’s eye sees is another thing entirely. What I’m always searching for in a scene are aspects such as perspective, textures, compositional elements and lighting etc. and well beyond that how I can work with these when I’ve downloaded my images which brings me on to processing (hate the term), for me, by far the most important and exciting part.

A while back I stumbled across the perfect description for my type of work “Paintography” some years after I stumbled into it completely unaware that there was such a thing. I guess this is where the photographer in me stops and my artistic side takes full-rein if indeed one can separate one from the other. Put simply, this is the point where I have complete artistic freedom to explore and mix different techniques and open the lid on a Pandora’s box of artistic possibilities, such a large box that even after some years I’m very much still discovering and experimenting with new things.

Please contact me if you have an enquiry about my work or would like to discuss a commission.

Kind regards
