Nice shot Liam.

For anyone in the Windsor area (ok Windsor, UK), Virginia Water has re-opened after the closure due to the foot-and-mouth outbreak, and the colours in the Valley Garden there are superb. I added a few (!) shots to my picasaweb album.

Which HDR 'tool' do you use/prefer Tim?
Peter, I'm using Photomatix Pro, which also has the useful ability to process batches of images, which is darned helpful as the process takes a long time!

Thanks Chris, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead!

...which is one reason I have been playing around with HDR for landscape photography. Must try that multiple exposure technique.

(This is a shot with HDR to bring out detail in the clouds)

Could be I've heard some funny noises when using a tele-converter, principally it sounded like the SR operating after the shutter had closed.

About a month ago I was hurtling along the A590 in Cumbria one evening when I came across a hot air balloon floating only about twenty feet above the road, and rather too close to a church spire. Unfortunately there was no way I could stop to take a photograph without causing an accident.

I'd suspect that a hot-air balloon has a flame-resistant fabric for the envelope.

Really nice set Dan. I must remember to look for the small things as well as the bigger picture. After all I carted around my Tamron 90mm and didn't get it out at all!
