LOL, yes I had done the same thing, yes great stuff, and yes was then left scratching my head a bit. They use a different brand pic for an article on the site, then ban any discussions of other brands? Huh??

LOL

By the commment I was blindly referring to how easily it would have been to get bored & throw the kitchen sink at these, as they are quite good candidates for Dragan effect etc. I've seen an awful lot recently.

Of course I like PP

But is the below still the refreshing insight Dr O gave us into the time, place, character and culture? Or has the photograph now lost it's 'soul' and become digital art? The latter for me, static scenes landscape architecture are one thing, PP is natural progression, has been going on since they invented the darkroom, and not worth the debates it stirs up. With regards to people I'm very much in the Vivian Maier camp. Apart from our own Tim Pile's work this year Edinburgh International exhibition seemed to be all this....... (except better of course)

Very nice, and as usual all natural, no OTTPP here TF.

Another vote for Dropbox, very handy

Its probably hard to answer because it depends what your after that particular day? If out on a landscape trip you've got a something completely different in your mind than on a seascape trip, or a seascape minimalism, or dramatic seascape etc etc etc... Hard to be happy about critical 'leisure' photography, as you've undoubtedly got high standards in your minds eye about what you're chasing.

When I'm at work, what makes me happy is a taking 10mp JPEGs as close to perfectly composed & lit as possible so I can give it over without having to spend any part of my evening PP'ing.

A lot of shots that make me happy are the ones that remind me of being in a time and place, usual holiday shots, whether they are critically great photos seems not to be an issue.

Probably the main thing to be 'happy' about is enjoying the experience of searching and capturing, at least a few crackers should follow I think?

LOL

Caught that Typhoon beautifully

Well on a positive note, I was not expecting a Pentax K? announcement this early in Sept. anyway, though gods knows I'm desperate, my work K5 really is in trade in mileage now and I'd like to where I'm going...

That train has a seriously cool profile
