Screenshots

I felt quite happy with this Thing. I don't intend to use many pictures on my blog, but it's good to have the technique to hand. I installed Lightshot as Ange suggested in her introduction, then went to Flickr and tried to think of something good that people might like to look at for three seconds. Got it: Aneurin Bevan!

Searching for photographs with Creative Commons licences, I found one of his statue in Cardiff. I cropped it with Lightshot, then (for reasons of style) converted the colour photograph to greyscale with a basic photo editor before uploading it to Blogger and posting it.

My first screenshot

Birds do it,
To-ries do it,
And just occasionally G-Ps do it:
Don't do it!
Don't— [That's enough. Margot.]
