If you are heading to the world-famous Ultra Music Festival in Split next summer (11-13 July), then Sail Croatia has the perfect flotilla holiday blending seven nights of festivals, partying, swimming, and sailing.
Six yachts, each holding between six and ten guests, will depart from the seaside city of Split on 5 July and explore the islands along the Dalmatian coast, returning to Split at the end of the voyage, and in time for the first night of the festival.
England offers up a whole ho-ho-host of festive fun this winter, from traditional markets and seasonal feasts to quirky immersive experiences and twinkling illuminated trails.

There are plenty of post-processing “tricks” out there, but many of them fail to perform as quickly and effectively as promised. This one, however, really delivers the goods, it takes barely a minute to explain, and it’s easy enough for Lightroom users of all skill levels to employ.

One you’re armed with this information it’s a simple matter to balance out these tones by following David’s advice. The process is so simple that there’s no need for us to summarize it here, so just spend 62 seconds watching how it’s done. Then be sure to add this insanely easy trick to your everyday Lightroom workflow.
There’s a lot more where this comes from, so be sure to visit David’s YouTube channel and subscribe.
