Featured Action: California

Last week was our Advanced Flash Workshop, taught by Adam Bronkhorst from Viva Wedding Photography. Our students learnt how and when to use off-camera flash, how to use it creatively, what kit to buy and how to expose quickly and correctly every time. It's a great workshop for anyone who needs a little bit more confidence with using flash. 

Here's a pic of the beautiful Clare who modeled for us on the day, the image is processed with the gorgeous California from Set IIII...

 Buy California as part of Set IIII here.

Or on it's own here.

Our latest £1 actions

I've been playing around with our latest £1 actions on this image Lisa took at Christine and Fadi's wedding. I love how these very simple actions can be mixed together to create something really stylish...

Friday Action: Tone Down

This week we have a little £1 action for you called 'Tone Down'.

It's great for adding a little vintage desaturation to your images and it also boosts contrast a little so you don't lose any detail!
Use it on its own or combined with some of our other more colourful actions for something a bit different...

Thursday Tip: How To Use 'Convert To Black and White'

The Thursday tip this week is a little tutorial on how to use the Convert To Black and White tool that comes with our sets of actions. It's pretty essential if you want to change the opacity of Black and White actions like Silverback, Earl Grey, Silver Plate, Casablanca etc. Check it out below. It's also on our Tips and Tricks tab along with a couple of other nifty little tutorials...

Featured Actions: Vanilla Milkshake & Dusty Black and White

Lately I've been mixing up my processing and revisiting actions from Set I & II and Set III. I'd forgotten how much I LOVE Dusty Black and White from Set I & II and I think you all know how much I love Vanilla Milkshake from Set III! These are the 2 actions I used on the lovely Fran and Jeff's wedding, the day wasn't heavily themed so I decided to knock my processing back a bit and use Vanilla Milkshake at 50% (I like to call it half fat!).

Here's a couple of pics from their day...

Action Of The Week: Garibaldi

Ooooh have we got a treat for you today, a brand spanking new action "Garibaldi" from our upcoming Set V. Yes you read right, Garibaldi! We're naming all our actions in the next set after biscuits! (and this particular one makes us chuckle because when we met nearly 3 years ago Amy had never heard of them!!)

Here's a before and after, and on the super lovely shoot of Lisa and family by Sacco & Sacco Photography.

DISCOUNT FRIDAY!

Thursday Tip: Get Stuck In!

So you want to get the most out of your actions and avoid making your pics look like everyone elses?! Well my advice is don't hold back with trying out different combinations, you can use our actions as a basis for creating your very own unique set! 

Below is a pic of Lisa's super gorgeous kids, Sorcha and Keeva. I ran a few of my favourite actions and then played around with their order and opacity, it didn't take me long to come to these combinations which I think work really well and are totally unique!

 Pistachio Haze - Set I & II

Chocolate Milkshake - Set III

Nevada, 35mm and Fine Grain - Set IIII
