Lightroom and Lightbox...

Spring is well and truly underway, although the weather seems oblivious to it all. For example: the sun put in a brief appearance this morning. Nothing too remarkable about that apart from the fact that it was snowing at the same time. Only light flakes, mind - nothing serious - but snow all the same. In fact, it snowed several times throughout the day and is becoming a less-than-rare occurrence in my neck of the woods. The good news is that the temperature soared to 6º Celsius.

I needed to get out and shoot, today. For far too long I have been sitting indoors - not entirely a bad thing as I get to grips with Adobe Lightroom 4 - but I need fresh images to work on, and to quell the creative urge. On a mixed-up day such as this it will need a keen eye to find something to photograph. I try a number of seascape images, with a now-watery sun dodging between the cloud cover, but it is the bread wrapper on a local beach that eventually catches my eye. I like the way the warm colours and folds on the printed plastic blend and merge with the sediment patterns in the sand.

It may have come to some readers attention that the Lightbox function on Blogger no longer works as it should. In other words, if you now click on a photograph the large version is displayed against a white screen in one corner instead of the image being overlaid on top of the post. Many have raised this issue on Google help pages but as yet nothing seems to be coming close to being resolved. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
