Interesting thread! I've never got particularly good results from exposure blending or HDR, but I thought that's because I wasn't very good at it! However I had always assumed that for someone that knew what they were doing, if you took at least two exposures; correctly exposed for the sky and for t...

Are you sure that 'Erase', at least in Adobe terms, is really the same as 'Undo Brush' in Sagelight? As we all know, I'm not a Lightroom user and you're not a Sagelight user, so its good to share this knowledge. AFAIK 'Erase' in Adobe terms refers to the process of 'rubbing out' pixels, for exam...

I looks like we may be talking about similar things. If the funtion is to 'wipe back' an effect already applied, and not erase pixels, then that sounds the same. We are all very fortunate that there are a variety of high quality editing products avalaible to us. You mention auto mask for colour ...

Faces in the environment.
Hi all, just looking back over my photos I found I have a collection of images that resemble human or animal features found in the natural environment. My latest addition I came across last week deep in the forest. Totally natural but I think it is rather good.

At last - a couple of decent days on Anglesey
Thanks for the comments guys, Stuey, yes the ferry just came along at the right time, I'd only just setup so it was a bit of a rush getting the shot in. The second shot was mainly to get some colour into the foreground as the coastal flora looks wonderful along the coastlines at the moment,...

A selection from Bempton Cliffs
Very impressive frame-filling bird action! 4 & 7 are special for me, 4 for the unique pose and 7 for the bits of out-of-focus elements around the bird, giving a sense of its environment and depth.

Chloe, A Portrait @ 3yrs - Ricoh GR
Hey DERYN, I directed her to get into that little wardrobe of hers, lucky enough the talk of sweets was enough to get her to oblige. :) I used to own a RICOH GX200 and I thought that was quite a capable camera too. I had dropped it flat on it's back from 3ft at one point and it still worked admirab...

Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Had a visit here on my day off, took the sigma 10-20mm and the 70-200 F2.8 Here are a few, more to follow. Sigma 10-20mm by , on Flickr I wanted to compress the perspective with some of the artwork/sculptures, hence taking the 70-200. Here is the result. by , on Flickr And ba...

Bamburgh with 16-45mm
Thanks for the constructive C & C's. To be honest I was disappointed with all my snaps yesterday, not only with the pentax 16-45mm but also the sigma 150-500mm (need to get closer to the cliff face) and the pentax 18-135mm so no excuses as I agree with what has been said. I'll probably be going back...

Very nice! I really like the composition and the out-of-focus rendering. Best regards Bjørn

DOGS! A Photographic Project
Hi, I do like the focus on dogs and I would like to try it myself. I think some of the scenes are too busy for B&W. The dogs in the pics tend to blend in too much with B&W instead of standing out. I assume the dogs were all different colours and so this would distinguish them from their surroundi...

DOGS! A Photographic Project
Hey Deryn, I don't like to tell people but I look out for and try to include analogy in my photographs. It's something that interests me a lot, things are similar yet dissimilar, it could be the least little thing. Ie, in #1 - the dog's legs and spires on the temple roof... #2 - front foot forw...

Chinese Flower
Yes, it's a very nice lens indeed (if heavy). To brighten them up the best way may be to take the shots in some contrasty sunlight amd maybe misted with some very fine water droplets but I suspect the comment actually referred to doing something in post processing. If you open the photograph i...

Chinese Flower
I can't get at my lens at the moment to check due to domestic building works at the moment - but 150mm sounds about right. Do remember this is a (very good) zoom with close focusing ability not a dedicated macro lens. You will probably find the easiest way to take 'macro' shots is to just set the...

More Action shots
Sometimes a slower shutter speed will introduce some blur and evoke a sense of movement. I don't know if it would work with horses, but a number of motor sport photographers use the panning technique to have the subject in focus while blurring the background to make it indictinct.
