We spent two days and one night staying in the centre of Gloucester. It was lovely to have some time for just us. We got to talk about grown up things and do grown up things. Though Cas was on our minds a lot and we brought treats home for him.
I took some pictures on the Sunday around Gloucester, the sky was beautifully clear blue. The histogram on my camera told me all was exposed well and I was happy. Then when I got home and loaded the images on my PC.....THE HORROR.... my sensor is DIRTY. The non-photographers amongst you will not understand this pain, but basically those beautiful clear blue skies were covered with dirty splodges from dust on my sensor. I saved the images and left them, whilst I sulked!
Anyway, I decided to stop sulking and do the editing work to remove the marks. I HATE photoshop with a passion. I use Lightroom to process my images, and love it. But photoshop always makes me feel clumsy and doesn't seem intuitive at all. So I avoid it. If images really need a little touch-up that Lightroom can't handle, I outsource (to Gary). However, cleaning these images was a simple job, and I wanted to share them, because Gloucester is a pretty place. So I braved photoshop (aren't you proud of me?!)
This first picture is the Cafe where we had breakfast. I loved it, especially because it had the most delicious tea!
This church was right in the middle of town:
And then, of course, there was the Cathedral. It was gorgeous, and undergoing some renovation to the stonework.
We had a lovely time. And it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be tidying up those skies. My camera is off to the "cleaners" at the end of month!
