Lazy Sunday's

A lazy Sunday morning and a trip to the markets could get you a priceless treasure and to be part of a great collection of work from Seamus Ryan.

Each Sunday photographer Seamus Ryan invites visitors to Columbia Road Flower Market to participate in his ongoing series of portrait projects. Shoots take place between 10am and 3pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and no booking is required.This would have to be a great way to spend a couple of hours catching up with friends and have a portrait for the memory.

This should trigger some great ideas for everyone on how to market their own business and promotions and keep things rocking along.

Plugs.n.Pixels


I thought i would start this off with a link to a site where you can get the low down on all plugins and actions to boot for Photoshop.The site offers codes for discounts and keeps up to the minute with whats going on plug-in wise for photoshop.This month covers some great stuff in its pages and im sure everyone will find something that they need in issue 11 .

The other trends we have been watching and hearing online is how to get the DaveHill LOOK as the folk over at Retouchpro have now clocked up 850 posts over 57 page's 98,941 views.My thought's are great lighting and a Motherload Mamiya or Hasselblad will give you a nice clean sharp image to play with in photoshop.Dave Hill's site has behind the scene's footage and from the video's you should be able to find some great tricks and tips to use for yourself.

Trend 2 would have to be action shots with gun's, its almost like cops and robber's when you were a kid .I got an update from RushWade2 that had some great images of a SWAT team about to break up some Hill Billy shack.Now that Guns are on the theme of the moment id be inclined to say maybe someone should shoot a woman as Annie Oakley the sharpest shooter which propelled her to become a superstar in America.Im thinking that could be a great advert for wrangler or Dodge.I would also like to see a revamp of Wrangler butt's drive you Nutz ......Think Cowboy in low slung Jeans and Snakeskin boots kicking up some dirt on rodeo drive.Maybe just Maybe Jill Greenburg could pull that one off and shoot it live.

That should be enough to start the day rocking along !
