It's an amazing way to get to know photoshop. Oh, and I also always shoot in RAW format and have been developing actions of my own which I’m using. It’s an amazing way to get to know photoshop.

Hi Sher..

I use a Nikon D70s with an AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm lens with VR.

And I do use Photoshop to fix white balance (if necessary), exposure (again if necessary) and sometimes apply edge blur, or other effects. Hopefully subtlely.

… and I often use some of them.. changing the opacity of the layer to suit the photo.

I rarely (Very rarely) ever crop a photo. It can be quite difficult to know if the exposure etc is perfect using a view finder, but I make an effort to frame the shot as best I can.

Hope that’s helpful! So glad you liked the photos… it’s hard to tell if I like them just because of who’s in them rather than because they’re good pics.

Christmas is a funny time of the year for so many people. This year we had a quieter day which suited me as I just miss my own family far away more when its all crazy busy. I hope the boys are well on their way to recovery! Beautiful photos. Christmas is a funny time of the year for so many people.
