Waiting WordPress Photo Challenge
Honestly, that was me yesterday… Waiting to get some peace and an afternoon nap… You see the day started out with a loose kitchen tap… yes it needed tightening up and I got a phone call from hubby saying, ‘If you clear the under-sink cupboard out and find the monobloc spanners, which are in the […]

Corner WordPress Photo Challenge
The topic for this week’s photo challenge is called Corner and you are asked to type of corner evoke emotion within yourself. Well for me it has to be corners in Architecture.

Rework of a Little Egret
Back in 2016, I processed a photograph of a Little Egret which I took at Northward Hill Nature Reserve and processed the image in a blue wash. Today I decided to rework that image.. and the first thing I did was to flip the photograph horizontally. I wanted to do this image in black and […]

Creating Watercolour Effect Photography
On Sunday we took a trip to Sissinghurst Castle… in Kent. Albeit under protest at the last controversy surrounding the outing of a squire as being gay, which I didn’t approve of. Anyway, we decided to go and I shot this photograph of some red flowers and wanted to see if I could create a […]

Friday Quick Tip – Lightroom – Sharpening using a Mask
One of the edits I do to each photo I process in Lightroom is Sharpening in the Details Panel in the Develop Module. How ever using the masking slider can be hit or miss as it doesn’t automatically show a mask. By holding down the Option key on MAC or the Alt key on PC […]

Bridge WordPress Photo Challenge
This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge theme is called Bridge. WordPress ask you to post a photograph of a bridge. To me, a bridge is something that takes you from one place to another. Whether it be a void, a river, a road, or a walkway. And for this week’s subject I decided to use a […]

Delta WordPress Photo Challenge
Well I am still trying to catch up and last week’s WordPress Photo Challenge called Delta and WordPress asks you to share a picture that symbolizes transitions, change, and the passing of time.
