Thing is the site was broken, in massive decline.

The work I've put in over the last year for free has turned this around to growth.
Fine by me, anything for free!
Seriously though I like the changes, I can avoid the adverts,

FYI,

I received the following from Getty.

Act now to protect your creative rights.

What’s happening?
The UK government has launched a consultation on ‘Copyright and Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) which ends on Feb 25th. They are proposing a new exception to copyright law, which would enable AI companies to train on your content for free unless your rights are proactively “reserved”.

Although we do proactively reserve your rights, such a system is unworkable in practice as it doesn’t work for images/video already scraped or for downstream copies licensed by and distributed to other platforms (where reservations can unavoidably become detached). It also unevenly weights the cost and administrative burden towards creators and their distributors, not on the companies scraping the copyright works.

The UK government suggests there is lack of legal clarity around the use of copyrighted works for AI training data. This is incorrect. UK copyright law is clear that the use of copyrighted content by AI companies for commercial purposes without a licence is illegal. Whilst we agree with the aims of the proposed reforms to stimulate licensing of copyright content where used to train AI, we believe current copyright law must be preserved, not weakened, in order to achieve these aims.

What can you do?
Take just two minutes NOW to protect your creative rights before the consultation ends on Feb 25th: Click below to join the letter writing campaign organized by the Creative Rights in AI Coalition, of which we’re a member:

Thank you guys for the comments - appreciated.
Les, I see what you mean, I'm always in a rush PP'ing as time is always limited, but I have now adjusted it for contrast and I'll stick it in the Gallery.

I agree, too bright a day, I have used nd filters for this particular waterfall before, but wanted a play again with minimal equipment, as being somewhat handicapped at the moment.
I was at f11 and iso 100 BTW. Lesson learnt

Liked the first one more ! Don't you try long exposure with nd filter for such scenes ?
Yes indeed, I had read in a forum recently the effect was achieved this way, so I thought I'd have play. Reading the camera manual again perhaps I should have used the ,bright, option in composite?

Nice set, lovely colours. I like to add a boost to my shots with a bit of saturation. Did you use any filters BTW? Do I see some vignetting yet not on the sky?

Nice set the last photo of the wagtail doesn’t look like our common wagtail more like the European wagtail that I photographed last year 🙂
Yeah, I wasn't sure myself, taken at Heybrooke Bay on the beach a few weeks ago I think, at the time I recall thinking how unusual to see one here, more used to seen locally around town even. Could well have been a visitor perhaps, need to research!

Lubbyman, haha, the Heron looks pestered and wishing his feathered companions would fly off, no chance of a catch!
