Just a Friend dropping in

Hi All,

           I hope your all keeping well. I’m sure that you’ve all done very well with your brilliant work as I have been keeping an eye on your Bloggs. I’m sorry I haven’t been in-touch. Unfortunately I had a bit of an accident and tore my stomach lining and also tore a muscle in my shoulder and so over the next three months I’ve got to have three operations.

Any way I’m going to keep watching the bloggs and hope you all do very well in the future, as I’m sure you will.

I’d like to thank both Dave and all of the students for all of the kindness that you’ve shown me over both of the courses.

                                    Fond regards

                                                               Peter

This shot was taken by putting a small torch on top of the bottle. I like the effect but the finished shot needs a lot of work.

Granddaughter

Happy Easter,

This is a shot that I took a week ago of Casey my Granddaughter. I found that this weekend I had plenty of time on my hands and so I opened this photo up into Photoshop Elements. I started by cropping the image and then I took away some of the hairs that were dangling in front of her face with the the spot healing brush. 

The I used the Quick selection tool to select the eyes and mouth, then I had to inverse the image so that the unsharp mask wouldn't have any effect on the other part of the photo. After the eyes and mouth were sharp enough I then inversed them back again and then started to use the surface blur tool to give the face a nice soft look (to hide any blemishes). Once I was happy enough with the previous effects I decided to change from Colour to B&W, I did this with the aid of Silver Efex Pro 2, where I used the Antique plate 2 for the above effect, which I'm very pleased with.  

Anyway have a nice Easter holiday weekend and don't eat too much chocolate
