And there's more ......

These are the templates I have done so far from our holiday in Charlestown, St Austell Bay in Cornwall last week. Only a couple more to do!

We first went to the Eden Project a couple of months after it first opened in 2001 (also the year Eden was born but it's not where her name came from!) Then ,particularly the outside, was very bare (I will try and look out some old photos) but now it's amazing.


St Michael's Mount must have its own climate. Waiting to go over in the boat it was very dull, overcast and very windy but as soon as we got through the ticket office it was warm and sunny.

Alot of people waded back over the causeway but we had to sit and wait for it clear!

Another National Trust property was Lanhydrock in Bodmin.

The dishes at the bottom were used to make clotted cream.

And this is the other Waddeson Manor template.

That's it until the next template ......

Templates and a mini planet

First up is a mini planet - like many things easy when you know how. The first 3 templates are from CJ's last couple of workshops - People Imagery and Advanced Artistry (Photoshop techniques and the reason for the mini planet).

This was using font as a photo mask.

Making a triptych and a panorama of Waddesdon Manor (another template to follow!!)

People Imagery - I did this workshop a couple of years ago and really struggled but I enjoyed it this time around and am really pleased with some of the shots.

The next couple of templates are from the shoots done with the Speen Photography group. It's great to get the opportunity to shoot different subjects and get feedback on your work from like minded and talented people. I'm always in two minds about my shots and it's a real boost to the confidence with their constructive criticism.

Christine and I had the opportunity to shoot this Pony Club meeting and the resident photographers were incredibly generous with their time and expertise.

The last couple of templates are some of our geocaching jaunts leading up to our 100th find. (We're now on 112!)

That's it for this post but be warned I've alot more templates to show from our holiday. I will get around to doing my own layout - it's just so much easier using one already laid out!

Summer Time

Just updating with some recent pics - can you tell I've learnt how to do templates in PSE!

The boy has now lost 2 of his front teeth. He doesn't want to give them to the Tooth Fairy - "she gets everyone elses I want to keep mine" I joked he could make a necklace out of them and he seemed quite keen!!

Cherry picking - yum!

We have just reached our 100th cache and I am just finishing the third of CJ's Feelgood Workshops so will post some of my fave shots from them when I get round to getting the templates done! It much easier posting them than the individual shots. See you soon.
