THIS IS A FIRST....

I haven't been near the camera or Photoshop today. I must be ill and I'm having withdrawal symptoms, lol.

I did a bit of weeding today and then decided to do some crafting instead. I got my Polymer Clay out and made some jewellery. A pendant and a pendant and earring set that look like ceramic. Not bad for a first attempt, but could be much better.

I actually like the look of them though, so I think I'll do some more. There was a lovely article in my Polymer Cafe magazine so I thought I'd have a go. I emailed the mag yesterday with a tutorial for making a brooch and they're going to use it. I think, I actually get paid for something this time, lol.

Ah, well. All for now. I'm off to bed to read my Advanced Photoshop mag. I'm only half way through, there's always so much to read and learn.

Nighty, night all.

PRETTY IN PINK

Still playing. This is tonights work. Really simple. My shed door, a flower, my mask again and a spider that was on my living room wall.

EXTREME ADVENTURE

Photoshop again. Tee hee. This is for a challenge on 'Adventure'. I took 6 images of rapid rafting and combined them. Use of filters and blending modes got me the finished result. I really must spend more time on the housework, but this is much more fun. lol.

I SPY

I got bored tonight and couldn't decide what to do with myself. This hot weather is really peeing me off, it's so uncomfortable. Anyway, I ended up in Photoshop again. Using a combination of images (some of them already on here) I ended up with this.

HAVING FUN!!!!

I'm having great fun with my new camera. I am so pleased with it. One of my photographic passions is macro and close up, but I can't afford a macro lens at the mo. Boo hoo!!! So, I went looking for a suitable alternative and found some very, very cheap lenses on ebay that attach to the front of the current lens and gives some nice close up shots. Here's a couple I took today. They're not perfect as it's a bit breezy here today and I was rushing a bit to see how they looked, but I'm quite chuffed.

IT'S HERE!!!!!

My new DSLR arrived on Tuesday. (my new baby, awwwwww). I love it so I've been practicing all week with it. Have a couple of photos that I think are OK to put on here, so they'll be coming soon. But today, I have been playing with Photoshop again and here's my finished piece.
