Newcastle Cathedral revisited
Newcastle Cathedral must be England's most welcoming to photographers. They don't ban you from taking pictures (Durham do) and no one extracts a fiver from you for the priviledge of a photo permit or entrance fee. Today I went back to photograph more stained glass. The staff were very friendly and ...

Love the second and fourth photos. Seems like a worthy visit if ever I go back to Newcastle!

Newcastle Cathedral revisited
I'll try the vignetting Anderew, it sounds like a good idea. I like photographing coloured glass and have quite a few from the National Glass Centre at Sunderland as well as in various cathedrals. Exposure is critical because its so easy to blow the highlights when you're photographing from inside a...

Bank Holiday...
Know the feeling. The local youth have been camping in nearby woods most weekends, leaving loads of trash, bottles and cans. As soon as we clear one lot up... Lovely images - #3 is my favourite - but maybe slightly lacking in contrast (might be solved by more PP). I think that's why I like #3 bes...

Costwold Bank Holiday Walk
My wife said the same thing both when we were there and when she saw the images. I'm getting the slides rescanned at higher res today, so I'll see how good context aware fill is once I get them back!

Really nice shot. The focus on the eyes is amazing ( you could also call it a self portrait as I can see your reflection!) I personally prefer the square crop. Fiona

Namibia is one of my favourite places. Just some incredible landscapes. I visited way before my SLR days but nevertheless got some really good pictures with a little Canon APS camera so I really look forward to seeing some proper pics. Please post lots.

Consumate use, Davex, of differential focus, depth-of field and image editing tools (Photoshop?) to produce a stunningly realistic photo-montage :P. There remains no trace of the cage bars or edge-artifacts where the 'beastie' has been 'cut-and-pasted' onto the background image. The way the backgrou...

Thanks for the comments gents. Sorry Jon, no PS involved, image just cropped. Here is another one of a different Cheetah, again no PS other than crop and slight sharpen; I really like the way this shot illustrates the animals camouflage. Am going to start working through them all methodical ...

Now THAT is a shot! I love how it blends in. A bit of contrast and warm up would improve it IMO.

I had a quick go at that cheetah to show what I meant - I hope you don't mind. I tweaked the levels histogram and played with duplicate layers in 'multiply' mode.
