Time for tea

I did some Macro photography this morning, I only use close up filters and was really disappointed with the results the amount of CA (Chromatic Aberration) was unreal and I ending up having to do a lot of Lightroom-ing to fix the images. It was all lit with a single speedlight on a stand to the right of the picture.

Fortnum Stuff

Back to the tea, I picked the tea up from the tea specialist in Fortnum and Masons the lady there is excellent and she saved me a lot of money. (I did end spending quite a bit in the process).

Tea Caddies

As you can see the tea leaves are hand rolled and it is known as Fairy Lady’s Golden RIngs. It tastes great.

My Favourite Photoshop Shortcut Key

It is stamp visible (PC: Control-Alt-Shift-E, Mac: Command-Option-Shift-E) I use this shortcut a lot, either as a precursor for a destructive filter or in order to use a blending mode on what has been worked on beneath my images stack.

You should be able to see an example of this below the stack has effective a JPG version  of itself on the top.

Try it, it will either be really useful or no use what so ever!

Anyways hope you find this useful.
