the secret

is out...

I have just purchased a set of actions for Photoshop and they are brilliant. I have been having lots of fun going through some older images and practicing with them.

If you love black and white photography and you have photoshop, do yourself a favour and look into different ways to convert to black and white. Simply choosing the automated 'greyscale' will get you flat looking black and whites - if you want more depth you need to do it manually. If that sounds too complex - get an action!

I am in love with these actions made by the genuinely lovely (and gifted) Sonia of Bohemian Art. Check them out here: the secret

For a tutorial on manual black and white 'conversions' go here: adobe

Of course, I can't leave you without some photos:

Taken middle of the year - Will is around 6 months I think.

Taken earlier this year. Will was a couple of months old - so little!

Thanks Rosina. Yeah - actions are easy to use. Just need a bit of tweaking.
