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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
(Vanilla Milkshake @ 50%)

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.

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

A little while back I did an anniversary shoot with Gemma and Chris, and last week met them on Gemma's birthday to shoot them and their little baby Robert. It's always such a joy to see a family flourish and Robert is simply adorable!
I processed the pics with Action Of The Week *Stardust* from Set IIII...
Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Ahh today we're adding Stardust to our set of actions you can buy for just £5 each. Stardust adds a little twinkle to your photos, softly brightening and cooling to perfection!
Stardust is also available as part of Set IIII.
Pop back tomorrow to see Stardust in action on a very cute family shoot Lisa did last week,

We have a little something for you today that everyone should have in their action kit - Basic Colour Pop! We've designed this one to really make your colours jump out (whilst preserving the skin tone), there's a nice little bit of added contrast and we've really deepened the blacks for extra drama! Grab this great tool now for just £1!

Last week I was talking about which actions I think are best for very bright photos, so today I thought I'd talk about which ones are best for dark pics. Now when I say dark obviously I don't mean under-exposed photographs but rather pics like this one below where there's no white dress and no sky and quite dark tones in the background.
Now the great thing about pics like this is that they can actually take the strong actions on better than bright photos and you're less likely to lose any content. I found that most of our actions worked on this particular photo but settled on these 8 as the best of the bunch!
Actions used:
From Set I & II - Basic Pop, Vintage Rose and Pistachio Haze
From Set III - Vanilla Milkshake and Petal
From Set IIII - Silver Plate, Super 8 and Malibu

At the very first Photography Farm Lisa photographed the lovely Heather and Rob's engagement shoot, so she was super excited for their wedding at Grittenham Barn last week.
She whipped out a couple of favourites from Set III for the processing - Mint Julep for the colour pics and Silverback for the black and whites! Here's a couple of examples for you to swoon over!
Here's a little pic from their engagement shoot last year too, well it'd be rude not to...
Processed with Cinnamon Toast (Set III) and 35% Chocolate Wash (Set I & II).

You may remember we featured Venice Beach last Wednesday - Lisa used it on Steph and Russell's very cute engagement shoot in Brighton, so today we're adding it to our set of individual actions available for just £5 each! A little warm, a little hazy, a little grainy... enjoy!
