    The food I post on Facebook is probably non-representative of my day-to-day eating.

    Flunk that. Yes, I live in Washington state where we get a couple of week of sun during the summer but England just looks terrible by comparison.

    Pretty bad. We get a few days of awesome humid sunshine, then a few like this — repeat ad infinitum.

    Haha agreed, they go crazy for them. I got her a matching panda last year which is similarly sweet.

    Haha. Someone on another forum was going on about tonsil stones (fucking disgusting) and it turned into a very big discussion where it turns out loads of people have them. So I thought I'd sicken things up a bit by posting that. If you've ever actually seen one you'll understand.

    They're actually yoghurt-coated strawberry pieces. I put some soap on the cotton bud.

    hiking trip in the malibu mountains today. one fantastic thing about LA is how fast you can go from total city scape to absolute quiet hiking trails up in the hills.

    Lovely photos, agree that the noise needs some work though. Noise in itself isn't a problem and lends a cinematic feel to a picture, but it looks a little too much like the default Photoshop noise filter which isn't particularly realistic as far as the film grain look you're probably pursuing goes.

    There is actually a film grain filter elsewhere in Photoshop I recall, but what I usually do is use the noise filter on a new/copied layer at 100% (so it's completely black and white), then use gaussian blur to soften it a bit like real film grain rather than being all hard. Then I'll set the layer mode to colour burn, as real noise doesn't really affect highlights — the noise is essentially the camera failing to pick up detail in darker areas.

    Moderation is the last thing to be wary of. Your noise probably wouldn't look too OTT if it weren't so intense.

    haha, sorry, that only happened after downscaling. i hate sharpening in downscaled pictures, so I have some presets that apply a noise pattern before I downsample them. I didn't bother to check the pics at a hundred percent scale though

    lesson learned!
