Today I have a surprise for you, in the form of the best noise removal software available, Imagenomic Noiseware Professional.
I decided to take the plunge recently and buy the standalone program as well as the photoshop plugin, and it’s saved my noisey images many a time.

Just a word of warning to you all, in the near future I will be posting a tutorial on restoring and coloring old photos, like the one you see above.
A client came in with a tiny little worn out negative of his parents that he wanted restoring, coloring and enlarged, so of course I was more than happy to oblige. I figure I may just pass on the skills and techniques down to you.
Keep your eyes and ears open!

Rugby today, at Cranbrook Rugby Club. It was a Mini B’s tournament, meaning all the B teams get together and have a tournament, as they’re not able to play in the league games. This is good for us as it means these kids don’t get photographed often.

So we’re back at Kent College Junior School today for a Netball and Football tournament.
This was a pretty small one for us, there were about 8 netball teams in the morning, and about 6 football teams playing in the afternoon. Usually, a good football tournament might have 100 or so teams playing. We definitely weren’t expecting much, but we were quite wrong.

Another Charity ball today, seems like a popular time of year for them. This time it was at the Hilton Hotel in Maidstone.
The charity was organised by a lovely lady, how looked after us very well on the night, however, I couldn’t tell you what it stands for…Gynacologist…something or other. NOT Great Ormand Street Hospital.
The man you see at the top of the post is a bass player (his wife’s a doctor of some sort) who plays all over the world. Most recently with a band called ‘The Mad Pimps’ in spain.

Back at the Kent College Junior school today for a musical perfomance. I have to say, despite these kids being very young, the standards were very high. There were some very good performances, and some nice shots to be had.

Today, we’re at Kent University for a huge cross country event. over 2,000 kids, with roughly 250 running in 8 different races, it was going to be a challenge. If you can imagine trying to thread about 100 needles at the same time, that’s what it was like. It was quite a task.
