Make a Facebook Cover Photo Collage
If you are fed up with being restricted to a single photograph as your Facebook cover photo, why not try a collage of pictures that show off your style? In the past, I’ve used a template given away freely, but today I decided to make my own, using Lightroom. Here are the instructions to make one: 1. Make a collection Select a few photographs that you will use for your shortlist…maybe ten or more. Add them to a collection. For this task, the quick collection will be good enough.

End of Year round up of some of my favourite images from 2014
My end of the year round up is a selection of some of the pictures I have enjoyed making the most over the past year.

With no particular aim in mind (and shopping still on the cards), there looked like a tantalising bright area in the clouds, so I decided to carry on through Ambleside and take the road through Langdale.

Cumbria
I had a good couple of days in Cumbria earlier this month. Theoretically the light and colours would provide great opportunities on the two days between giving talks at Keswick, Moreton and Workington. Unfortunately the first day was a complete wash out, with heavy rain throughout most of the day…and the second was, on the whole a bit wishy-washy. Just my luck! Here are a few shots from the second day. It all fuels the wish to go back of course, to capture some better shots 🙁
