Monochrome Madness – Brighton library lit up
This last weekend I was able to get out and take some photos. I don’t seem to do it as much as I used to. Still, I do love it when I can. I have […]
Peonies – Processing with ON
Today I thought we might look at processing a macro flower, especially after showing all the ones yesterday. I decided to do it with ON1 Photo Raw 2023, but I am still learning to use […]
Silent Sunday – My macro magic
These are some of the photos I would show people at the start of a macro class so they could see what was possible.
Favourite Images – Busy week
It has been a very busy time around here. We have spent some time changing and getting rid of things so we no longer have any gas appliances in our house. Today we had a […]
Monochrome Madness – Steavenson Falls
For Monochrome Madness this week I went back to some photos taken a few years ago of Steavenson Falls in Marysville. This is often an incredible waterfall and I don’t think it ever disappoints. I […]
Quick trick for enhancing your sunsets – Using Photoshop
This week I have a video for you using Photoshop to enhance your sunsets. We all take sunset photos and get them home and think, wasn’t there more colour. There are some things you can […]

A little of the beauty that is in my garden. Happy Sunday.
Sunsets in the city – Some photos taken with the Tamron 17-70mm
Recently I told you that I was trying out the Tamron lens for my Fujifilm cameras. I did try the 150-500mm, but now I am looking at the 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A2 VC RXD from them as well. […]
Monochrome Madness – Fire in the sky and by the river
One thing I have always wondered is how would a sunset translate into black and white. My friend Chris does all black and white images, well most of them anyway. When we go out and […]
View across the river – Using Photoshop to process an image
Another post on processing today. However, this one, instead of trying to teach you anything, I thought it might be interesting for me to just process an image. Take you through what I was trying […]
Silent Sunday – More Jellyfish from Monterey
Last Sunday I posted a couple of jellyfish images among other images. They were taken at Monterey Bay Aquarium and a friend of mine said I should process more. So I told her I already […]
More from the Tamron 150-500mm – Animals at the Zoo
Last Friday I did a post on using the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD lens. It is a big lens and great for taking wildlife photos. I’m sure there are lots of other things you […]
Monochrome Madness – Manchester Unity Building
I’ve been cheating with Monochrome Madness by using images that are already monochrome, but today I decided to use an image I took recently and see what I could do with it. The building is […]
Processing with Photoshop – Changing colours in images
There is no doubt that at this stage I understand Photoshop far more than any other editing software. I’ve been using it for almost 20 years now. I had someone comment on my YouTube channel […]
Silent Sunday – My time in California
Back in 2015 I was given an opportunity to go to the USA. I spent a couple of weeks in California before heading to New York. This last week I’ve been sorting through the photos […]
Trying gear – Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD
Recently I was given an opportunity to try the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD lens for Fujifilm. It has been great seeing them bring out more lenses for the X series cameras that Fujifilm makes. […]
Monochrome Madness – Lake Mapourika New Zealand
I’ve been spending a heap of time going through all my photos from my trip to New Zealand in 2019. What a mess. I know I have said this before, but again, you should sort […]
Editing with ON1 – Replacing skies easily
I like the idea of starting the week with an editing video. I’ve been trying to get back into the whole routine of blogging and I know it works best for me if I know […]
Silent Sunday – Standing the test of time
Photos taken back in 2016. Wondering if they have stood the test of time and if I still like them. Or if you still like them. Enjoy your Sunday.
Removing power lines with Photoshop – the old car again
Well, it is that old car again. I promise it is the last time I will show it to you, well like this anyway. The other day I showed you the video of me using […]
