Breathing Again - an exercise in self control!
What a relief it was to relax, chill out and allow myself to open Photoshop again, it was like welcoming back an old friend after an extended absence.
On a recent trip down to the beautiful coastal town of Sorrento in Victoria, I decided to experiment with long exposure and camera controls and was determined NOT to let the sea shots anywhere near photoshop, and upload the photos straight from the camera – no exposure or colour adjustment, no sharpening and definitely no textures! It felt like I was exposed – not just the photos!
Was I happy with the sea shots – absolutely – but was I happier last night when I opened up my old friend PS – ECSTATIC !!!!!
So, does anyone else feel like that when they can’t or decide not to use a photo editing programme??? Or should I seek therapy!!!!!

I am a PhotoShop addict and I don’t want to be cured!!!!

I wanted to do something from scratch using no photos at all only PhotoShop and this is what I came up with . Its was also a fun exercise and a good test of my PS skills I have learned so far.

I did enjoy this one Randy – very clever. Was even funnier because we were involved in manufacturing some of the display stands for the new Iphone around the country – so at least now I know what the bug was that prevented some of the phones being displayed on time!!

I sometimes feel guilty using PS or HDR, but I LOVE the extra oomph …
