I woke one day recently to find the series of hot muggy days gone and a beautiful atmospheric morning awaited me. Overriding my usual inclination to grab another half an hour in bed, I pulled on a pair of shorts grabbed camera and tripod and started shooting. this is one of a series and I spent some time experimenting in lightroom with some of the processing presets that come with the program. This one mimics the effect of selenium toning from the wet darkroom days.

Further on the book front, both Ebook and Hard Cover book are now available. Both have been re edited, a cause of great frustration but very necessary. The ebook is available from the Blurb store for 9.99 AUD by copying this link to your browser:

Sad to say I'm not expecting a stampede but that seems to be the cost of printing one off's. I would have added many more pages but I really had to stop because of the cost. However the ebook which is formated for Ipad and the soon to be available PDF for general use are a bargain.

I got a surprise call this afternoon from the organisers of the Cobargo Country Show. Their big day is tomorrow and the judge for the photographic section has pulled out leaving them in the lurch. Would I step in? I've judged before at club competitions but never anything as public as this. It will be fun I'm sure
