Fun with photos

Taking photos is easy. But they can be a bit boring, a bit formal. We wanted to do something a bit different.

Then we paired up and  took our own with Canon Ixus digital cameras.

We got some lovely portrait photos, but wanted to jazz them up a bit, add some effects and make them more fun. We used Photosimple . This has lots of tools to adjust an image, such as cropping, re-sizing and red-eye removal, then in-built effects, frames and filters to play around with.

See what you think.
