Thought I would share a few shots taken last Wednesday at Sidmouth. Apologies if this is a bit image heavy as I had difficulty reducing the numbers down! All taken with K5ii and unless otherwise stated with the DA 17-70

1. Approx 7:50am – 3 shot HDR tonemapped. View from The Esplanade - overnight clouds clearing.

2. The East Cliffs at approx 7:55am soon after the sun shone on them

3. Early morning exercise – for a juggler – very obliging allowing me to take several shots of him.

Not bad at all!
I suspect using something like Zerene Stacker might have done a better job at cleaning up the edges - especially around the second image; However one can't complain as Combine ZP is free! How did you isolate it from any background - or is it simply on a piece of plain card/ paper?

I like this - colours, composition etc & background - all lovely. I hadn't noticed the tree-out-of-head clanger until it was pointed out!

Some lovely shots here. You must be pleased with them! And the longer focal lengths work well IMO.
