About me.

My name is Tom Simone. I am a photographer / videographer / writer / artist (...) living in Bethesda North Wales. I left my job as a digital journalist at the Daily Post on June 12, 2009, where I pretty much did all of the above. I now do wedding photography and videos covering the whole of North Wales and beyond, including Bangor, Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Rhyl, Wrexham, Denbighshire, Flintshire etc :-) I'm also working on an art project titled Heglu, which involves documentary and photographic work.

Aperture 3 edit photos in Photoshop

I’ve just started using Aperture 3, and it’s been great for organising my thousands of photos.
However, I’m used to using Photoshop to do my editing and I wanted to export photos from aperture, but couldn’t figure out how to do it.
On other forums it says you can just right-click on the photo and there will [...]

Site redesign of tomsimone.co.uk

Hello –
welcome to my personal website, where you will find my non-commercial photography and film work.
I’ve changed my homepage to this wordpress blog because I find it easier to keep up to date and move things round.

Canada – Niagara Falls

We arrived in Niagara Falls today (think I’ve spelt that right!). The pic above is a pan of the river before the falls. Apparently 1 million bathtubs of water goes over the falls every minute…

Photo test

Ok, It’s 1.16am and I’ve successfully managed to make this blog page look reasonably similar to the homepage.
Now, let’s see if it’s possible to upload some photos…

Eve of last day at work

It’s taken me about six months to find my company car key.
Funnily enough it was down the back of the sofa, which is where everything gets lost.
Glad to have found it because I have to give the car back tomorrow and could’ve faced a nasty fine.
Not really done any of the stuff on my list [...]
