New things

I have been playing with some new additions to my photographic repertoire. Just after Christmas I bought a wireless trigger and updated to Elements 10. Although I have had a previous version of Elements I have never really explored it. Photographic magazines mention "layers" a lot so I thought that it was time to try them.

 I watched the SimonSez videos http://www.SimonSezIT.com and had a go. With my new wireless trigger I took some shots of my self sitting on a sofa and then combined them for a double self-portrait.

In December we went for a walk round Southwell. I took a photograph of Southwell Minster from the edge of the town.



Behind me was a field of corn.

The two photographs combined make an interesting effect.

I know that neither image is perfect, but for a first attempt I'm fairly pleased.
