Hello!

Mr D (Derek) and I have been messing about with water for most of the day for the weekend competition and I took a few myself on my point and shoot. Its a Canon Ixus 750. I'm entering one of them in the competition

Forums? Is that how married couples communicate these days? Confused

Thanks everyone for the welcomes.

I will be using a point and shoot and not borrowing the 350D so my photos will not be as sophisticated as some on here. I'm not a very good "tweaker" in Photoshop either but I have persuaded my son to create a Photoshop Action which automatically (well almost) makes a nice drop shadow frame. AND - I don't think Mr D knows how to use it!

I think you should borrow the 350D! Your talent is already obvious (in my humble opinion!) and top marks for getting the photoshop action. Hey.. AND why not make this a proper family affair and get your son to join in too! Sounds like he could give some fab photoshop advice.

Thank You! Son did actually join some time ago but soon lost interest in the camera as teenagers do. Very Happy

Anyway, we can't allow him on here as he understands all the camera settings and is rather good with Photoshop which gives him an unfair advantage over us. Very Happy

I wondered whether Derek had followed the little tutorial for the frame/drop shadows, but now the truth is out......
