Impromptu visits to the beach with your gear has its merits. As I was finishing a quick beach visit I passed buy this pair of sisters who were taking snapshots of themselves with their cellphones. I introduced myself and offered to shoot a photo for them. They were amazed and agreed. The strawberry blond was visiting the Florida brunette from Colorado. Afterwards I gave them a card and later last night they texted an email address to me to which I sent the photos. They were so friendly and appreciative. Apparently this made their day.
I'm a huge fan of Topaz labs and their products just as a disclaimer. The new plug-in Topaz Impression just blew me away. Naturally I'm not going to use it on all my photos, but I might use it on the background....
