Cracking day out today. I went up to the Gadget Show Live at the NEC. Five halls chock full of big boys toys. Everything from high-end audio kit, computing, robots, mobile tech through to quad bikes and video games. Having blagged a trade day ticket was a real bonus as it was *really* quiet. No […]
So, tonight I thought I’d have a quiet night in and do a few flower Macros. There was a particular shot I’d done a while back that I quite liked but which was really not good enough for my RPS panel so I thought I’d take another stab at it. Shouldn’t be a long job, […]
