Why Dont You Blog?

For some reason I can no longer get the piflasa plug-in to work, which has scuppered my plans to post a visual feast of images here. However, I am not going to let a trivial problem like that stop me from posting pictures!

I have been editing some more photographs to within an inch of their lives recently and trying out a few new effects. The wonders of things you can do with Photoshop may never amaze me and, as I have said in the past, you would be mad to think the camera never lies…

I will upload more to this collection as I get the chance.

These were taken at a variety of national trust sites, and with the exception of the black and white picture of Bodiam Castle, have not been retouched in any way yet. Over time, I plan to experiment with the effects and filters Picasa provides. These seem entertaining but lack the level of “control” Photoshop has.

Following on from the spectacular failure of the last attempt, I am going to try again to include a Picasa gallery in a WordPress post. If this crashes and burns, I will take the hint and give up.

Well, I have used Picasa in the past, so it isn’t really “new” in that sense, however thanks to what looks like a wonderful plugin called “piflasa,” I have been spurred to re-using Picasa and seeing how will it feeds pictures to this blog. (or blogs in general)

The usage instructions for this plug in seem quite straight forward, so hopefully in the space above you will have a flash based screenshow of some pictures I’ve uploaded to Picasa.
