Also check out Scott Kelby's books - he's basically a Photoshop Guru... and he blogs too: http://www.scottkelby.com/blog Very rarely use Photoshop myself, but if I was going to get into it properly I’d look closely at Chromasia’s tutorials: http://www.chromasia.com/tutorials/online/ He (David Nightingale) also has a great blog: http://www.chromasia.com/iblog.

As a matter of interest have you any experience with Photoshop? If so could you recommend any books/online tutorials? Just starting out myself! Thanks for that Ronan, the effect is really stunning.

I increased the contrast as much as I could in Aperture, and pushed the black and white levels towards the middle so anything approaching white went white, and anything approaching black went black. Finally I did a straight forward monochrome conversion using the channel mixer to get rid of some hints of pure red that were in one area of the shot. Actually, maybe I should add that detail to the post. Thanks Colin.

Apart from doing the composite, how much processing did you do on this Ronan? It's stunning - I thought it was a painting when I saw it first! Nicely done Wow.
