Fantastic, as always!
June 21st
Today I spent the day with a member from our camera club and she taught me a few tricks - mostly in processing and I have a lot of practising to do in that department.
I took 111 photos today and about 10% are keepers of note.
I am more hooked than I have ever been and just know that tomorrow I will be venturing into areas of processing where previously I had feared to tread.
The following is my photo processed by her.

Today I am posting a series of failures to emphasise a few things:
1. There is always something new to learn or a skill to improve on
2. Best to master what you have before buying new stuff.
3. Processing is vital and can dramatically improve even crappy photos.
The following 3 photos are the same photograph in different stages. They are no means a goo shot but as it was the day I moved to my latest house sit (hence a couple of hours packing, a couple driving and another hour to unpack) there was little time for photography. On arrival the owners insisted on having dinner in my apartment to experience the sunken Japanese dining table. If you look closely you will see we are sitting at floor level (look real close as the photos are not great) and our feet are in the pit.
I decided to use the occasion to test my Yongnuo RF-603N remotes coupled with my old Sunpak flash. The results were a disaster (fortunately the meal wasn't) but … there is something to be learnt here and definitely something to work on.
The first photo is "as shot" and saved as jpg.
The second is edited simply by clicking the "auto" option in Elements 11
And the third is with a little bit of messing around. I am sure it can be improved on but I think it proves the point of first learn the capabilities of your gear and then upscale your own skills.
Boy that was a looooong story.
