I've signed upto Adobe Creative Cloud thanks to the education discounts provided by Adobe. I wanted to upgrade my Lightroom 4 to 5 anyway and figured £190 a year for all the Creative Suite would be better than paying £60 for Lightroom 5 upgrade and being stuck with Photoshop Elements 11.
So the above image is one of my first photo manipulations in Photoshop CC. It's a combination of two images taken in different parts of the country. The castle is Criccieth Castle in North Wales and was taken earlier this month on a crazy one day trip to Snowdonia. It was taken on the Sony HX200V from a layby on the way into Criccieth, roughly 3/4 of a mile away, using the built-in HDR painting mode. The background sky image was taken in Basingstoke also this month but using a Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm kit lens. It was taken at 18mm with an 8 sec exposure and has been modified in Adobe Camera Raw to darken the space and brighten the stars.
All in all, I'm extremely pleased with the Creative Cloud so far and will hopefully be able to share more creations from Photoshop, Lightroom, After Effects and Premiere shortly.
