Another new format

Changed the background colours and added an image that I created in photoshop earlier. Not the easiest program to use in my eyes. Anyone got a tip for a book to help me? I love taking photos so wouldnt mind getting into photoshop.

Went to a stag doo on Wednesday night, very strange night to pick but had a good one. Went to St Albans. Should of been at Palace V Inter Milan but I cant be everywhere.

Baby news - About 4 months to go and we can not wait. My mate (at work) wife is now a week overdue so should have some news of a birth soon. We have about 3 dads to be in the next 3 weeks at work.

Footy News - Off to Palace tomorrow for a friendly against West Ham. Meeting some mates (WH fans) for a beer before the game as well. Going to try and sit in the main stand for a change.

AJ is bound to go now because I have posted his image up. Spurs and Everton are after him if you believe the newspapers. Would rather he went to Everton then anywhere else.

Todays Fact - A spider's silk is stronger than steel.

On this day - 29th July 1588: Spanish Armada defeated

Off the coast of France, an English naval force defeats Spain's so-called Invincible Armada. After hours of furious fighting, the remnants of the massive Spanish fleet broke off and headed north on a long and difficult journey home. Two months earlier, King Philip II had launched the Armada, consisting of 130 ships and 30,000 men, to conquer England. However, Queen Elizabeth and her naval advisers prepared a brilliant defense, employing their superior guns and ships loaded with explosives to decimate the Spanish fleet. After retreating north, the Spaniards sailed around Scotland and Ireland, where the fleet was battered by storms. By the time they returned home in October, more than half the ships had been lost.

For photoshop books, I can recommend anything by Scott Kelby such as Photoshop 7 Down and Dirty Tricks. And also The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers

Takes you through a lot of the kind of effects and things that you might like to do.

Both books do step by step tutorials, and explain everything every time. I hate those books that in later chapters just say throwaway things like "do a layer mask" and you have to try and find the page in the book that mentioned those... Each tutorial stands alone.
