Editing photos with Viveza

I love this amazing software. It allows me to make localised adjustments to parts of the photo to really make parts of it pop or bring out details. It integrates with Lightroom.  I like it so much I did a presentation to the Mosman Photography Club on editing photos and included it, along with Lightroom.

Ally's birthday dinner

We had a wondeful evening with Bruce and Christy, Ash and Clair, Yvonne and Holga. Ally surpassed herself with her dessert - creamy home made ice cream with turkish delight, pistachios, marshmallow and red berries. Yum!!
