Earth day, a weekly WordPress Photo Challenge
Earth Day was on Saturday and unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to go out and photograph any new places, which is more the pity. But by luck I am still in the process of processing photographs from our Easter Weekend trips firstly to Ashenbank Woods and then Hole Park.

Weekly Photo Challenge Surprise
Another week and another challenge and this week’s photo challenge set by WordPress is called Surprise. Of course there was nothing like a surprise cow who wanted to make friends and taste my lens. Within the grounds of Hole Park near Rolvenden was a field with a herd of cows in it.

What with Easter just being around the corner and a lot of things to do… today’s photograph is one I took on a windy cold spring evening at Rochester Castle in March 2017. After a bit of manipulation in Photoshop to remove a litter bin and a flagpole without a flag… here is my quick […]

However, Lightroom does have its limitations and one of those limitations is that you can’t work with layers or add textures to your images. So Photoshop is my number photo editing software that I turn to when adding textures. But what I […]

Using Adobe’s Photoshop Mix App with Lightroom Mobile
For just under £10 a month, I subscribe to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Photography Package and personally for me, it suits my needs as I get both Lightroom and Photoshop.

Talking Point – Lightroom Presets – Is it cheating or a time-saver?
Today I thought I would approach a subject that has many opinions on it. In my talking point discussion I want to ask is using a Lightroom Preset created by another photographer cheating?

Blue Rose of Belmont House and Gardens
I’ve played around with the Oil Paint filter at times in Photoshop before. However, due to it not working on my desktop I invested in Topaz Impression. What I like about Impression is that the software applies different styles and brush strokes to your image. However, for this Blue Rose image I wanted to stick primarily to using […]
