I like it as it is, personaly. A sign of hope emerging from darkness. (Well it was 60 years ago)

I've got a card which my camera will read, but card reader won't. I put this inot my old mobile phone ( which has a full sized SD card slot), plug that in via USB and copy the files from there.

Hi Sherry.
One of my favourite parts of the country down there! Good job I don't live there though...I'd be twice the size I am now! Mmmm, clotted cream

I am a little better than one year ago, in my opinion. But, my learning curve has started to plateau. Not because I know it all , but because I don't seem to get the time lately to persevere with it.
As P-Phile says, Life and laziness get in the way

If you normally wear glasses, make up a translucent lens cover (occluder) from a piece of thin perspex moulded to fit over the spectacle frame and then scrubbed into opaqueness with sandpaper. A piece of bubble pack taped over the lens would do for a test.
If you don't wear glasses, get a pair of reading glasses with a large lens size. Knock out the right hand lens and scrub the LH lens.
Now you can release the arrow with the hand you have the most control over.
If this works for you, try taking a few shots with the camera and see how it feels.

Yep. I have a pair of sunglasses with card over the left eye for days when it is really bad. Most of the time I can "instruct" my brain a to what to use.Father Ted wrote:

Assuming that you grip the bow in your left hand, then you need to use your right eye. Try this:I'm left eye dominant, but right handed.... ... I try to shoot (archery) with both eyes open but sometimes I have a strange effect which I can only describe as my eyes fighting for dominance.

I raise the bow and sight with my left eye closed, when I've sighted with my right, I then open the left eye. It seems to work...most of the time.

You probably edited out the rim light! Personally, I like the halo in this case as it gives the buildings a nice crisp definition. But then what do I know...

So I could have called it Rim Lighting and said it was deliberate? Darn!
As it is, I revisited this one and set the sharpening option in noise reduction to 0, then sharpened the image after running the noise reduction and the halo pretty much vanished.

I'm left eye dominant, but right handed. I can't keep both eyes open when I "shoot" images as my rightthumb knuckle ends up in my right eye
I try to shoot (archery) with both eyes open but sometimes I have a strange effect which I can only describe as my eyes fighting for dominance. It really is weird and on those days my shooting is even worse than normal ( which is saying something! )

Ah! the halo. Now I know what you mean!
That was from the noise reduction, it was really quite noticeable at first. I'm still getting used to Photoshop CS2, I don't find it as intuative as Paintshop. I'll have another play.
And I definitely will be going back

Thanks guys.
The first one was always meant to be a sillouette.
I didn't sharpen these much Stephan, but I'll go back and play with the originals.
As for Smeggy: I love your idea with the cranes. I spent a while bringing out the light in the warehouses, but I think your idea might work better.
