Roger Bennion's photos with the keyword: Nik Software

Many, many, many, moons ago I was a member of the Aylesbury Police Camera Club that then became Stoke Mandeville Hospital Camera Club. I wasn't a policeman or a doctor :-) In the days of APCC we had regular portrait sessions and it is likely this shot was taken at one of those sessions. The original is on a colour slide. I am in the process of clearing out lots and lots and lots of slides. I have memories of taking slides that were quite successful but clearly my memory is somewhat rosy 'cos in truth most are pretty rubbish! Already hundreds and hundreds have gone to recycling :-) I have come across a few though that I think are worth saving and I am scanning these. This is one such scanned slide and I have now applied an 'Old Photo' effect plus some noise reduction using Nik Software. It disappoints me to say that I do not remember this ladies name. My 'Sight and Sound' link is to "Picture of You" by Johnny Reid. Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Picture of You ~ Johnny Reid

It usually takes me a while to catch-up on news :-) Probably, most everyone already knows that the Google Nik Software Suite is now free to download :-) I found out this news t'other day and it came as a very big and very pleasant surprise :-) I understand that the software suite was originally priced at around $500 but when, in 2012, Google bought it the price dropped to around $150. In a move on 24 March 2016 that surprised the photo industry Google went a step further and made the entire suite free of charge!! Needless to say I have now downloaded the suite :-) For this Oxford shot I have used the 'Monday Morning' filter. Hence my tenuous link to "Monday Monday", one of my fave Mamas & Papas tracks. I love this cover version by Foxes & Fossils :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Monday Monday ~ Foxes & Fossils
