Thanks Don, iWeb looks good and i have a Mac, but I want a bit more automation as I'm quite lazy

And thanks Stefan, those look quite interesting as well as various other tools on the Photographers Toolbox website. They seem to be similar to what I am using but with a bit more customisation.
then you need to look up "Automator" on your mac.
Also Iphoto and Aperture, combined with mobile me.
you'd be amazed how much you can "Automate" with "Automator"....

select an area of sky, from the opposite side of the image, slightly larger than the area you need to fix using the rectangular selection tool. (in your case copy the whole left side of the sky area....)

copy it paste it into a new layer. Then flip it horizontally, and move it over the the offending area. adjust brightness or color if needed.

Now blend the edges with a mask or eraser tool to soften the edges and blend it in.

It's a great suggestion, someone i know had some camera problems like these caused by his pc (or what he did with it to be preciese).
no offence was taken... nothing to apologize for.

If i understand it corectly he has shot some photos with his camera and was unable to review them right away so it never came near a computer so i doubt they will be at fault then...

I'd simply screw a bolt into one of the three holes part way not far enough to lock the plate in but it would give a place to stop a wrench from slipping, and then take a plumbing pipe wrench to it, on the aluminium part that is already broken...

in my studio build, it is a garage conversion, so I went with white primer on the walls, (matt finish easy to touch up) and concrete grey paint on the floors.... again easy touch up...

for my video lights, I went with halogen worklights and bbq (or high heat/manifold matt black paint).

I also use bamboo for curtian rods..
I have a little bamboo tikki styled photobooth, and hanging curtians helps absorb sound echos... my studio needs sound control as I do video as well as stills.

I know what you mean Don, in my teens it was motorcycles, beer and women.

Unfortunately, 40 years later, it is still motorcycles, beer and women.

The motorcycles are faster, I can't drink as much beer, and the women run away from me now ;-(

Any money I have left, I end up giving to the kids.
lol!

My motorcycle is one of the fastest in this area, I just had a debate with my seventeen year old about why as you get older, carrying a keg is more energy efficient than carrying a six pack, and my wife chases the women off anyways.... not that she needs to, she just does. lol!

Thank you very much Don.

Not only do I like your photography style, but your 'photography related' inventions are terrific.

I have this vision of you in a white coat, sitting in a work-shop, deep in the Canadian winter snow, thinking up, and producing these prototype's and submitting patents for them.

You must be just a couple of dollars away from your first or second $1,000,000
I'm a little too grungy for a white labcoat..... but, I gotta be honest here... I never in my entire youth imagined I could live this long, so long term planning was not one of my strong suits... so in looking at what I've saved for retirement... Getting filthy rich is not a "That would be nice" idea, it is about my only option.

So filthy rich it shall be.
