Graham took the photo around 7am three days ago just before a storm came while we were at Cochrane Lagoon at McMasters Beach on the Central Coast. I it used as homework for a course I am doing so it isn't cropped straight out of the camera edited in RAW (Lightroom) which doesn't stand up to Photoshop Camera Raw because Wacom Tablet Pens do not work with their adjustment brushes grrrrr.... !!!! So I added a Topaz filter in Photoshop to brighten the image up for here.~Pat

Boy what a day I have had!!!!









 


Soothing music so I can stop from throwing my computer straightthrough the window!! Can you believe I spent nine weeks of my free
time on a course to find out it doesn't work with a Wacom pen!!!! How Barbaric
is that!!!! You would think in this day and age somebody would say it doesn't work with the adjustment brush. IGoogled it after hours of frustration. Others have had the same problem too sigh.......... ~Pat

John Connolly 		  A beautiful scene Pat & Graham, I agree with Sherran, I think a few weeks away before school holidays would do you both the world of good!

Graham Robards 		  It is lovely Sherran and is only ten minutes away, quite beautiful!

What I did was stay in bed all day getting rid of the headache I had. I asked the instructor about the Wacom pen and she didn't know it did it as the course is only now Lighroom runs, not on editing. Thank you for your kind words! ~Pat

Graham Robards 		  Thank you John, I'd like to have another go at this but I think I will move on, am sick of it lol. I'll keep it for another time as it is so pretty.

Thank you, you mentioned McMasters Beach once so we have been taking the dogs walking there.

The next shot is of a lady walking along on the beach and a Crane walking towards her, so funny but small you won't be able to notice. The clouds and waves water are awesome.

Of course after I finish editing I hope it still is..... HA!!! ~Pat
