Crazy Photo Shop Images
I am an amateur photographer interesting in casual snapping. That doesn't mean I don't try to take great pics and my trusty Canon EOS 60d DSLR does me proud. It also takes credit for some of my better pics when friends will view my photo's and comment "that's a fantastic camera you have there". Sounds familiar? Hmmm.. it didn't fix the composition, choose the lens and select the aperture or shutter speed for me. Never mind. as long as its a great pic. And some of my favourite pics have been captured on my IPhone. With one of those apps that allows manual over-riding of exposure and focus. An essential but simple creative tool.
Talking about creative tools. Photoshop. everyone's heard of it. Do you use it? Do you know what it can do? If not and you are considering entering the world of Photoshop here's a video tutorial for beginners I came across which might help you decide whether or not its for you. Please click to see it.

The Women's Institute (WI) was formed in 1915 to revitalise rural
communities and encourage women to become more involved in producing food
during the First World War. Since then the organisation's aims have broadened
and the WI is now the largest voluntary women's organisation in the UK. The WI
will celebrate its centenary in 2015 and currently has 212,000 members in

The WI plays a unique role in providing women with educational
opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide
variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their
communities.
