Thanks to Candice, Ive been introduced to the world of free photoshop actions.
I wanted to know how to edit my photos into good black and white photos rather than the desaturate or grey scale route I normally take.

What a difference it makes! I downloaded this action set by Nelly Nero and tried out several variations. Look how much of an improvement it makes.

Last weekend I went to Paris for a short break. As usual I crammed in as much sightseeing as possible but enjoyed every minute…

Trip Summary:

Day 1: The Louvre , The Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle
Day 2: St-Pierre-de-Montmartre, Centre Pompidou
Day 3: Bike Riding, The Eiffel Tower

Accommodation: St Christopher’s Inn, Hostel
Overview: The bike hire scheme has to be the highlight of the trip, we had great fun exploring Paris on wheels and would recommend it to anyone.

Shutter Priority Photography in New York

I recently visited New York for a weekend break. I dont have an SLR camera (although id love one) but I do have a reasonably decent compact, Canon Powershot A700. What I like about this camera is its easy to carry around but it still has quite a few manual features to experiment with. I am quite pleased how these two pics turned out. See more on my flickr account.
