with the Endeavour in the news and some pics being posted of her leaving Fremantle last week I thought I would post a sketch done by my father after he turned 90, he passed away 2 weeks shy of 93 just last year.

This is one in a series of 60 odd sailing ships he sketched.

This is really cool and an easy way to improve your work flow in lightroom by adding images to a specific collection with one button press

Just a little creative cloning in this one

This technique involves a flip over copy of the background of an image but not the foreground and creates some interesting results, and optical illusions
