A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Sketches

Have posted a new album on my Picasa Web album area containing some conversions from photos into sketches. They have been produced using a filter called Impressionist that used to ship with Frontpage 97, 98 and 2000 (the full copies only). It is so wicked, I came across it by accident whilst searching on the web and then found a really useful site called http://www.retouchpro.com/ which have some good tutorials and forum advice on how to use it. I've only just started to scratch the surface of it, there are loads of options to tweak but I like what I have seen so far. It'll keep me occupied during the winter evenings ;-)

Also on the retouchpro site is a video tutorial by "Swampy" which shows you how to deal with the bland skies that we so often see in this country and which frequently spoil an otherwise good photo. Thanks Swampy!
