BlogtoberFest Day 22

Today I feel like I am impersonating a pin cushion having had the last of a set of three vaccine jabs for an accident back in August and then the doctor wanting bloods from me for some test for something?  Normally I don't mind but this time I have been left feeling a bit queasy - which is not nice, plus I need to sort out having the flu jab and I know that will knock me out for a couple of days as it did last year.  Still apparently it is all for my own good so moan not eh?  Only managed to edit one image today due to other things happening and now I have been called into work early!!!
 
For a change I thought I would show you the before and after image.  I am not big on editing images with photo shop but I do sometimes do a little.  Lately I have been using Light room, which is lovely it seems much easier than photo shop.  Anyway here is the before, the sky has over exposed due to the bright sun hence the trees are a bit under exposed.
 

 
This is the edited version, I used a graduated filter, changing the exposure to bring the sky back in, then one on the right hand side to bring the trees back in and then one on the bottom to slightly darken the foreground down a bit hoping to push the eye in to the centre.  Then I slightly cropped the right side.
 
Discovered this blog today Rose Street Reflections some wonderful photos on there, right up my street.

BlogtoberFest Day 21

Well we had a lovely weekend away - well an overnight stay!!  Drove up to Westonbirt Sat morning, we arrived to blue skies and warm sun, by the time we had walked around and stopped for a cuppa the sky turned grey and then the heavens opened big time!!!! Our timing was impeccable for once.  We had a lovely meal out Sat night then Sunday we stopped in Bristol to see Bernadette which was lovely.  Then home in the afternoon.  So all in all a lovely couple of days.  I haven't had the chance to do any editing to the photos yet, but here are three unedited from Sat - hopefully have some time on here tomorrow.





I popped over to Linda's Crafty Corner today and she has written a post re what some call centre operators have to put up with.  It did make me laugh and the frightening think is that these are more than likely genuine!!!! lol 
Going to link this last bit to Lucky Snapping as well for this week's challenge.
