Softly
I've been busy cataloguing my photos for the past few days; it's going to be a long job! I started off using AdobeBridge but someone suggested that Lightroom was the way to go. I've tried using Lightroom once before but gave up, preferring the extra control that...
red car – green car
Over on Flickr we have a surrealist image group called Man Ray In this group we run image contests, where a donated start-off image is used by everybody who enters, to be manipulated in a surreal way. Its a great way to flex your photoshop skills and learn from some...
Daisy had issues
The story came about with the bar code idea. Daisy is a radicalized cow, she always has issues and frequently stomps around the fields with slogans painted on her sides. Today's protest is not wanting to be just a number. Her long-suffering farmer owner loves to see...

Apples
These very small and very scruffy apples came from a roadside tree, I'd picked them hoping they'd be sour as I had intended making a savoury chilli jelly, I discovered however that they're sweet with very tough skins....definitely not for eating but they made good...
