Been a little while - and glad to see the post is still buzzing, Brammers loving that chopper pic
And Bob showing us up as always.
More of my favourite model:
This was pre processing, nd I really liked the expression and the slightly drab colours, made my cat look thoughtful and a little forlorn
Post processing (i'm still a proper n00b with levels) he's lost all the greyness that I kinda liked in the first place.
Do you guys agree - or am I just a miserable git?

My very first watercooled PC project log
Can't practically comment I'm afraid since I need a projector to see images that size! Resize and repost eh?
Syd, brammers has some lovely protraits there, but I think the whirlybird shots you're talking about might be mineUnless I'm wrong, in which case apologies...
And you really should consider smaller pics for the forum
I give up - managed to shrink 1 image too small and one is still too big
I really don't seem to be having much luck with flippin photobucket.
Also looking at it on a 30" monitor its about the right size, so sorry for straining your eyes.
Indeed Rugger, yours was the chopper, very nice too

That Lynx is a cracking shot - why does that helicopter remind me of StavrosH insect shots.
Like the wee knot Crazy - nice and sharp. Like the shots with that new bit of kit.
No, I agree. Level manipulation is really meant to correct for the camera not being very intelligent. Adding contrast by compressing the dynamic range is well and good, but as you've seen, if the whitest thing in your photo is a grey, then you have to be careful not to turn it whiteOriginally Posted by Syd
Original is much nicer, and giving the focus isn't spot on anyway keeping it at original sharpness gives it a dreamy quality instead.

Cheers Kushti! I don't do a lot of monochrome, but that "colour" scheme and the morning fog were crying out for it.
Works perfectly mate
Going for a slightly over the top moody mono from yesterdays wander

Candid of my girlfriend, taken in York last weekend. Any tips, should I be doing anything different? I'm still quite new to photography so any advice appreciated!
I like it!
