Lancaster Bomber and friends
Had an interesting weekend. Went back t'hills from whence I came (Saddleworth) to see family and also see a WW2 event which happens annually there. All sorts of vehicles are on show which peform a huge convoy throughout the villages. They also have a re-inactment of battle, plus this year a Lanca...

Trip to University Botanic Garden
I like the sixth photo Frank, but only as a cropped image leavin' three of the flowers in the scene. The out of focus background is nice. Somethin' like this.

If you mean the black "dots" then that is the way the seed heads are, ( but I had to go back to the original to check :oops: )

Equiside Genesis
All these photos of adorable dogs are making me remember mine. As some of you know Beta my GSD died in April 2008 aged 10 1/2 after a short sudden illness. We made a mistake and got a puppy to soon after her dealth - Equiside Genesis. This is the first picture of Genie as we shortened her name to si...

Attempted B&W of my wife
Ok here it is. First converted to B & W in Lightroom. Slightly cropped to get rid of the cut off left arm. Exported in PS Elements. Cloned away some skin imperfections like birth marks. Worked away the shadow, by masking and painting in a luminosity mask Applied Gaussian blur mask, and pa...

Attempted B&W of my wife
Another for your collection, couln't resist after a couple of glasses of Villa Maria! I felt I had to give her a crop to focus more on her amazing eyes, did thisin SFX and copper toned for a more dramatic look, did an adjustment in curves before I started. I hope you print all these off for her.....

Lunch anyone
Gross, but tasty! Brings back memories of this type of food in Spain, with a lot more than a glass of local wine.:D Good evocative image.8)

An Urban Abstract
Most of my pix since I went digital are pretty uninspiring landscapes and buildings -- reasonably well exposed and in focus but nothing special. I'll make an extra effort and post something in the next couple of weeks. Nothing like a challenge. Thanks for landing me in the cack, Paul. Al

Nice set of photos, they just look a bit out of focus to me. :D

Hawk
Really nice shots. I think the first could do with a touch of sharpening. But don't ask me how to do it as I'm not sure. Adding a high pass filter (5 pixels) using blend mode soft light at 70 % does the trick very good. It really brings back the detail in the feathers. Raising contrast about 15%...

A week in the Cotswolds and only one shot !!
Great shot and enough to make me homesick as I lived in this area for many years,some great walks here, down into Broadway for one.Well done. Oh yes and my father still owns the hillclimb record for the hill back when racing cycles had fixed wheels.

A lonely cat
I took these two pictures around 11:00pm yesterday. One picture has better focusing but the shadow of the cat is cut. The other picture is out of focus. I just find it very hard to focus manually at low light condition.The auto focus doesn't work very well. Which one do you think is better? I really...

I like the first one with the full shadow.... Night photography is alway tricky and often it is about practise and trying different things. I often increase the ISO...that often increases the noise levels also...I prefere manual focus at night because the auto often finds it hard to focus, zoomi...

A lonely cat
Hi Frank, The last one could be very good if only you had some more real estate. I can see a very spooky scene here.....but the shadow needs to be complete. Fairly easy to fix in PS or Elements. Converted to a blue-ish Mono would work well here. I had a go with it, just as a experiment but you ha...

A lonely cat
Hi Frank, Actually I selected the the cat herself (rough shape), feathered the selection to soften the edges, copied the selection to a new layer. Than I flipped the layer vertically and pasted it back at the place I wanted the shadow. Filled it with black and changed the blend mode to luminosity.(...
