I have finished going through my images now and thought that I'd post this one, taken on the drive up to Wales. It was a LOT colder than it looks.

Nice series.

I also think that #1 is the standout, a really nice portrait.

Nice series ..particularly number 5 for me.

I also like number 3 a lot. I can't work out where you took this shot, was it along the path to the barracks or further in??

There must be a lot of Photoshop installations on computers that are not connected to the internet.

"Q. What if the customer does not have Internet access at installation?
A. There are two options if the customer is offline at installation:
• If the customer’s computer is temporarily offline (e.g. he or she is travelling or has Internet connectivity
issues), the customer will have seven days after the first launch of the product to connect to the Internet
and log in with his or her Adobe ID.
• If the customer’s computer is permanently offline (e.g., he or she works in a secure environment), the customer
will need to complete an Offline Activation process using an Internet-enabled device, also within
seven days of the first launch of the product. See below for more information on the offline activation
process.
Note: The offline activation process is not supported for prerelease products."




This would seemingly remove this market at a stroke. ..Very strange

Stu,
I didn't take your original post as implying that you had an issue with cloning. I took it as a bit of fun, which is what I intended with my response.

Sorry if it came across otherwise.

dave

I know Stu.... my bad.

Actually, in mitigation, I have re-checked the original and it's not 300 cars, it's only 9 cars, 1 large van and a motorcycle that I cloned out.

As seen below, I have compounded the offence by tidying up the cloning and cropping the image slightly.

This is now (although tarnished by use of the Photoshop clone tool), my favourite image from the set that I took during the Snowdonia trip, which is a bit strange since it made no impression on me at all during my first trawls through the images. Maybe it was the parked cars that put me off...

Another image with about 300 cars cloned out

It is an old Packhorse bridge at Ogwen that is now under Telford's A5 bridge.

Some more images from the Snowdonia meet. They are obviously similar to others already posted, albeit not necessarily as well composed.
