Very good indeed. Edges sharp, propellers blurred. Top effort.

Yup - that's going to put a small dent in their tea swindle.

Good stuff Chris. I particularly like the way you have caught the F18 exhaust bloom - I can only catch that on helicopters. The picture of the Devil rather nicely shows just how vast that flag is.

On this site.

Talking about photography, no and no.

But if you're asking about PUF, then yes and yes.

Now I am really confused.

Even if you are trying to record the scene accurately, tweaking is not necessarily cheating - it's a vital part of the process of recording the scene as you would actually see it.

Sometimes you take a picture of something, and when you get back, the colours and contrast are disappointing compared to how you remembered the scene. Your eye, or rather your brain, will perceive and differentiate colours and tones a lot better than the sensor on a camera.

I agree entirely. Some PP could serve to increase the fidelity of the image and overcome limitations of the camera compared to the eye.

Other PP may be to create a whole new effect.

To take the question one stage further, do you take a photograph to please yourself or to earn the approval of others?

Is she any good? (Photographically, not wishing to initiate a Monarchist/Anti-Monarchist flame war.)

I prefer the original. It reminds me of the clay pits out on Dartmoor. The light was often subdued so the contrast would have been down.

This brings me back to a basic question about photography - are we trying to accurately record something, or produce something that looks nice.

I'll see your Old Peculiar and raise you -

After that my grammar will be wholly coincidental.

No. He has abdicated after he was found starting a sentence with a conjunction.
