the tonal change was what I was thinking - it could help in this case .

As many here know I belong to the less-you-do-the-better school and think that some of the fiddling [ take a bit from here and put it there , this colour doesn't go well so change it ] can get a bit OTT.

Me, I've only recently started shooting in RAW and realise that a little tweaking in Aperture can make a HUGE difference but dealing with a 'flat' monotone featureless sky is something I can't do and I can't afford Photoshop.

For me - I'd try another shot another day when there were some fluffy clouds around to help - but sometimes you can't get a second shot

Best of luck , 'cos I like the shot

Sounds a great chance Gwyn - grab it with both paws

Is this when some digital manipulation would help ?

Putting in a slightly better sky from another photograph ?

I remember our Tutor telling us to make sure we got series of sky shots so that if we really were in trouble with a 'bad' sky we could replace it with one from our own personal library of such things. I've always been against doing such things - but it might be useful in this situation

Well that's one way to make us demand to see more I love the expression on the wee nun's face as she's peeking round.

Well caught

I'm heading off to see some others

now that should make a cracking picture --

Cyrille and the family

My eyes went wide when I saw the title

Fascinating shots

And talking of Cyril Tony , any recent news ?

I'll be listening to the BEEB as soon as I have enough vocab

Well I'm fed up with being sidelined by some folk so I decided it was time I fought back

First lesson was today - one hour by Skype - and believe me it was hard work

This Гарного вам дня !
