Taken on a indecisive rainy day in Porthcawl South Wales.
A walk seemed perfect, armed ready with a rather large umbrella and a hat (That as you would expect needed to be held on to in the british wind).
These photos were created amongst the rocky beach and fire bracketed footpath.

As you may have noticed many of the photos are identical. There was many photos taken but narrowed down to three favourites, here is where I came back into using my graphic design skills. I played around using Photo Effect Studio Pro, it took some getting use to and a lot of use of the undo button but I got there. Being a girl very much use to and adept in the art of using Adobe Photoshop with all its little creative effects and alterations. Using a new software that was quite limited was a task but it also helped me to narrow down the options to edit a photograph.
When i'm in the creative mood (lately getting difficult as I seem to much prefer being a sofa potato) I often end up with mountains of edits saved on my desktop of the same photograph in different lighting effect or hues. (The task of then choosing only at the most three often becomes horrendous and I ask for as second opinion).
This clever small software also came with beautune a different software platform that is built mainly to edit selfies or even flaws in bigger photography like the one above. Thankfully my skin and the lighting was being very kind to me on the day of this photography. So I had no need to use this part of the software, but I have used it twice on lighting my under eye circles (they are the curse of me, I will never be rid!!). I would probably say beautune is the most tedious software out of the two but defiantly worth the price I paid.
As I have said I have only played around with this software a handful of times so I don't feel confident enough yet to find it's flaws or even how to overcome them. That being that if you do wish a better more in-depth review of this on the cheap side editing software? Please leave me a comment saying so. I most likely will do one in the far future but if I do get comments asking for it sooner , so you can work out whether to buy it yourself I shall get my bum shifting and shall create one up for you!
