It has taken a while...

...but I have not only managed to get my Photoshop fixed but I have also sorted through my pile of magazines.

I should have fixed the Photoshop as soon as it developed the problem as it did not take long to get it sorted. I will make sure that I am more prompt next time. I am happy to get my Photoshop working again though and I will have to find the time to read through my Photoshop book that I have got.

I am also glad that I sorted the magazines out. I have also got a better system. The last time I went through them I did not really keep them together that well and they have become all mixed up. I have found some card and I will use that for a folder. I then put holes through the paper and bound them all together with string. I will have to look through them again to sort out the pages into order and make sure that what I have is what I want and what will be useful for me.

Now that I have got my Photoshop working I can now start to edit picture better.

Here are some shots that I got today:

My daughter the photographer

I have not had a lot of enthusiasm for photography for the last week or two. I think that is because I have had so much to do that something had to be left off until I have the time for it. I have been managing to get pictures taken. Some days are better than the others. At least I am still getting pictures taken every day. I just need to keep ticking over while I am getting through this tough time. It has been pretty challenging this year but I have to keep at it as I still would like to become a professional photographer.

I have not even fixed my Photoshop yet. I really must get that done tomorrow.

My four year old daughter has started taking pictures with a camera that I do not use. It is a bit hit and miss as all she is doing it pointing and clicking, but I think she has done a great job with some of them. when taking pictures of the doll (she calls that her baby) you can see that she has set up the picture. There were some other shots and I thought they were a cute set up. It was a shame that they were blurry. The battery ran out before she could get more. She was upset when it ran out.

Still not fixed Photoshop

Oops.

I have been so busy with getting my home tidy and organized that I have not managed to fix my Photoshop.

Thankfully I have found a way of converting my RAW files into JPEG. I cannot properly edit them like I could in Photoshop but at least I am able to do something. It gave me the chance to print off a picture for something that I wanted to put in my younglings PLP.

I went out on a day trip to Aviemore and while I did not really get the time to get any pictures I was able to get a copy of Digital Photographer. I have not got that for a while and I have not got around to subscribing to it. I will have a read through it tonight but there is a section about wedding photographs. I am very pleased as I will be needing to take good photographs at my friends wedding. I can take unconventional shots but for a few I will need to take them properly. That should be an interesting challenge for me.

I saw a really funky fungi recently. Because it had been raining there was a puddle in the middle of it. It was a challenge to get the shots of it but it was worth it.

When I was in Aviemore yesterday I went on a steam train. The stop that we got of on had a really cute station and in that station was the greatest looking waiting room that I have ever seen. So much nicer that the modern waiting rooms (I really am going to have to fix my CS4 so that I will be able to convert it into sepia nicely)

Broken camera

Thankfully not as bad as it sounds.

I was at the beach yesterday when part of my camera broke. The card slot.

I changed cards as normal but when I put in the new card to use it would not click into place. I looked on the sand and found something to wedge it into place. thankfully that worked so I am still able to use it.

I will see if I can contact Nikon and see what they say about what can be done about fixing it.

My Photoshop has stopped working again. I am not sure if it is the same problem that I had before, but I will have a look on the Internet tomorrow to see if I can fix it.

June Goals

I will not set myself much for this month.

But I must sort through my photography magazines, they are taking up too much room.

I must also order a back edition of one of the magazines that I cannot find.

I must apply for an ILA so that I can get on another photography course.
