Liquid goes Coast to Coast

Posted 2 years ago by Tom

Inspired by his managers previous fundraising wetsuit exploits, our newest designer Tom will be tackling the coast to coast bike ride this September.

He will be cycling the 140 mile route from the Irish Sea to the North Sea over 3 days to raise money for the MS Society, helping 85,000 people in the UK who are affected by Multiple Sclerosis, and Wheels4Life. A non-profit organisation providing bicycles for people in developing countries.

Training has been going well for the last 2 months and he is confident he will return to us in one piece! Just about!

Please support the MS Society and Wheels4Life and visit Tom’s donation pages

Be careful Tom, one bike accident (in the team) in a year is quite enough!

HDR Photography

HDR (High Dynamic Range), is a software based, photographic technique that extracts tonal information from multiple exposures of the same shot. If you exposure bracket the same shot, you can merge all 3 images into one, then, using the data from all 3, create one output file which preserves accurate details from all exposures, bringing out highlights from the shadows.
