I used a 16-stopper and fired the shutter for about 16 minutes I don't normally like shots with little going on in the foreground but the colours came up pretty well here. The colours came up braw. It's like a red belt in the middle of the pic. Puts me in mind of the hills in Utah where the cowboy movies are made. Although take away the foreground and the sky and the hills could be photographed from the Mars Rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had excellent sunrises and sunsets all week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I soon telt him but I also agreed with him. Here's another silhouette. It's a jackdaw on lamp-post I like these 'minimalist' pics. No background to distract. One of my favourites with a hint of a shadow. and another one Yes it is. Fits the D500 like a glove. Not tried it on the D610. It's a prime lens and if I could afford one would be tempted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Willie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 These are photographs that I made up as A3 posters. I took this pic at 7am on a summers morning. Hence the mist rising from the river. Someone commented that they would have used a 'haze' filter but I said the haze adds depth to the photo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Willie Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Here are another two that I did. I cheated tho'. I have a book on Scottish Views circa 1900. I scanned several pics, took out the backgrounds then made up my own. As posters printed out at A3 size they are superb. I made one print for my own use then checked the net. Unfortunately the copyright is still owned by a University 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Is there much difference between photoshop elements 14 and 15? There's about £30 of a difference on Amazon and wondering if there's any major differences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's about £30 of a difference on Amazon and wondering if there's any major differences. My set-up is an XP operating system + Photoshop CS3 so I’m unfamiliar with photoshop elements. I did find these reviews online and I also found a ‘free’ download of Photoshop CS3. I’m no sure whether CS3 is free or it’s the download that’s free.Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 Reviewhttps://www.ephotozine.com/article/adobe-photoshop-elements-14-review--28198 Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 Review https://www.ephotozine.com/article/adobe-photoshop-elements-15-review--30004#Specification Adobe Photoshop CS3 Free Downloadhttp://softlay.net/photo-image/image-editor/adobe-photoshop-cs3-free-download.html Ultimately you will have to decide which one is for you but I would suggest always go for the latest model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Willie Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The editor of an in-house magazine sent me an email asking for a couple of pics. I sent her a few including this one which she printed. She asked me for a couple of lines describing the photo. I wrote:The image of the seagull isn't real. I did it to prove that the camera can lie. I stood on a bridge and took a photo of the seagull in flight. I then stood under the bridge and photographed the tunnel. I cut out the view and replaced it with the seagull. She couldn’t believe the photo wasn’t real. That must have been a bloody big seagull I like it. Look at the shape of the wings. They match the outline of the tunnel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you shoot in Jpeg then your really only looking to crop your photos so just google free photo cropping software. If your shooting RAW then you really should be looking at the latest version of photoshop/lightroom which is currently version 2015.5 i think. I used to use photoshop all the time but find lightroom much more user friendly and quicker. You can easily swap between the two if you need further editing that lightroom cant do. I bought the whole package for £8.67 per month which is good value if you do a lot of post processing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I had a couple of weeks holiday up north, first week in Beauly after the Loch Ness Etape, then a week of solid hillwalking in Torridon, with some epic views. Maol Chean-Dearg and An Ruadh Stac from Beinn Damh Liathach and Glen Torridon The Desolate wilderness north of Glen Torridon, from Spidean a'Chorie Leith, Liathach's first munro A group ahead of us on Liathach's Am Fasarinen pinnacles I didn't do any "pre-planned" landscape stuff, it was all on the hoof shots whilst walking. I was generally too fucked at nights after walking all day to head out with the tripod etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I've got my other half with me we'll stay in a self catering cottage for a week. Otherwise it's camps if I intend to kip on or near a mountain, or hostels/bunkhouses. Torridon was excellent though, we booked out my climbing club's cottage. Worked out at 43 quid each for 7 days [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
