Sorry to put a downer on the but and I quote from your link Richard.

" More affordable than ever
You don’t have to choose between plug-ins -- now you get the full set for one low price. You can take the whole collection for a spin with a 15-day free trial."

It's only for a 15 day trial the same as it's always been. Personally I use Alien Skin Exposure now for most of my editing apart from B+W where I do sometimes use Silver Efx.

The New Sigma 50mm Art is a bit good.

This is straight out of the camera!!

Again, Straight out of camera, no editing and no filters!!

Think I'm going to spending some time with this lens attached.

Looking good Andy, looks like a belter of a lens.

One from me today from our late afternoon stroll along the newly reopened Harbour Arm in Folkestone, I really must do more natural light stuff.

I've just downloaded this and it's all there, for free, with NO mention of it being a trial..

It is.

DOF control is REALLY good.....

Again, SOOC.

Just had a quick play with Silver Efx. What do you think?

It says in the "learn more" Starting March 24, 2016, the latest Nik Collection will be freely available to download: Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Viveza, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Dfine. If you purchased the Nik Collection in 2016, you will receive a full refund, which we’ll automatically issue back to you in the coming days.


I believe that Google have stopped supporting Nik so there will be no more updates, that's why they are giving it away

Downloaded and runs free no probem.

One from yesterdays Studio Visage model day with Ecce Model, if you want to take part in one of Studio Visage's model day we hold one every month so come on down and take part.

Some more work with the Sigma 50mm ART.

"Kate" was shot in a cafe in Brighton yesterday. She is my stepdaughters friend and was with us for a gig at the Brighton center. Natural lighting from a french door to her front right and a window over her left shoulder. Added a -.7 grad filter in LR CC to tone down the bright light in the top right part of the image and a slight vignette but other than that and a little sharpening, SOOC.

A couple more from last night.

At my local camera club this image got 20 out of 20 in the printed image competition (the printed version had a slightly more crop across the top and the sax player was brightened up a bit)


The title - ........ and the band keeps playing
