Tower Bridge brightens my day !

Some great tips from plenty of different sources today. Check out the below links, especially teh Gumshoe tutorial for all you design freaks out there.

The Photoshop case study also looks interesting, with more to come on that on future blogs, so don't forget to sign up for that one.

On to something else. I work over London Bridge so I get the delight of walking over it everyday to work, but I have to ask, has anyone seen the wonderful view the past few days? With clear skies and a low sunrise, it makes a perfect picture for any camera fanatic. Make sure you get out there on a clear day and catch the wonderful view of Tower Bridge in the morning golden mist.

If you have something, don't forget to post it in the comments or send it to me so I can post it on the blog.

Photography Online !

It's been a long time since I last posted some pictures or a silly story to go with it, but I will be getting back into it soon I promise.

In the meantime I have discovered "Google Reader" A cool little programme that lets you subscribe to blogs and have them share with others. So I thought I would help out those who are like me and are new to photography and spend lots of time online reading about it.

So on the right is a box with shared blog articles I have read and what I think are very helpful, even to professionals and amateur photographers. There are lots of tips, and useful guides for new ideas and inspiration.

If you want to subscribe to my "Shared Blogs" then you can do that. I try to pick lots of information from the web that I think is interesting.

You can view all of the first articles by clicking here...

Let me know if you think this is helpful in anyway.

Cheers
Lee
