Christmas holidays are almost here but nothing feels like it. Warm weather, imminent go-live at work (Full SAP EPR / IS Retail implementation in a major greek Retailer) forces me to stay late at work and the whole depressing post IMF atmosphere here in Athens turn this Christmas holiday season into the lamest i can remember. On the other hand this could a wake up call for most people that Christmas isn’t about shopping and ski holidays.

Having thoughts like these, i looked into my photo library for pictures taken during more cheerful periods of my life. And it was a nice chance to edit these raw files (as my friend chris.dot says, always shoot in raw mode) and try to understand basic Photoshop functions. Some results from my totally newbie editing attempts are shown just down below. As usual click for maximum pleasure.

Images were taken using my Canon EOS 500D, combined with a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 and a Sigma 10-20 f4 lens.

Cheers
