It’s a miracle that these two images were taken at all, after waking up late, dashing down to the harbour, struggling with my tripod in gloves, discarding & dropping my gloves in the water then I was all set to go, turned on the camera and no memory card message on the screen, dam, I had left it in the card reader, not to worry I had a spare, more fumbling, finally I was ready for the sunrise then two shots later battery depleted, no spare battery and no spare camera still at home having just returned from repair.

Well I just wanted to blow the trumped for Johnson Photopia, I finally pulled my finger out and sent my K10D away and have the shake reduction switch replaced. It was posted on Tuesday, returned by Friday, and it only cost me £47 including postage.

I quite like number two, although it probably would benefit from converting to B&W and darkening the clouds.

I took a similar picture in the Southern Cross Cafe Edinburgh, I metered of the window making everything else dark, then in photoshop created a brightness mask on the fore ground, then adjusted until the foreground was how I wanted.

No 1 is a ripper Graham, No. 3 is still good despite the lens flare. No. 2 has a big emphasis on the foreground, and IMO, that tends to swamp the 'sun, sea and sky' aspects and colours - IMO only of course.
Thanks for that, ironically number two was the one I liked, although I would have liked the sun to be more obliging and cast a yellow glow on the frost. Still can't have everything.

Woops, didn't meant to upset you sorry
No upset taken that was a genuine offer, must start using the smilies more.

I had played around with number three and already removed fifteen spots then gave in, the lens flair problem only occurred when I had my Cokin ND grad filter on, has anybody managed to prevent this from occurring with Cokin or should I be using a better quality filter for my 16-45 lens, if so what make?

Quite like the last one, I like the extended prospective.
