Learning New Tricks

Two weeks ago I attended a digital photography workshop, which focussed (ha, ha) on creating and sharing great images to share on social media. It was hosted by Sophie Hansen, food blogger from www.my-open-kitchen-com, and her mother Annie Herron, who is an artist. We learned some terrific techniques, several of which I wasn't aware. Having recently taken possession of a new iPhone, I'm keen to make the best use of the inbuilt camera, whereas years ago, a phone was simply a phone to me. I have been into photography since I met my late husband John back in 1976. We used to develop and print our own photos as we had a darkroom. I have a Canon Eos which I often have with me. But I don't always have the digital camera and the option of using the iPhone camera is wonderful. Given that there are many photo-editing apps available for the phone, it opens up a whole new world. I do a lot with Photoshop on the desktop, but there are certainly wonderful options available for your portable device. Some of the shots I am intending to use to promote my books (the shot at the top of the page titled My Books on this blog is one of them.) Onward and upward!
