As always there are some great shots being posted.


Not sure f I prefer these in B&W or colour







He didn't land too well in the last picture - had to put the camera down and go comfort him while an ambulance was called - his knee popped out and twisted in completely the wrong direction.

(a pro photographer would have got a shot of that no doubt!

martinpem,
mind you asking? course not! i'm pretty flattered, to be honest.

anyhoo, this is what i did
1. duplicate background, blend mode: hard light
2. then high pass filter, radius about 20-ish
3. then flattened the 2 layers and changed this layer's blend mode to overlay
4. i then over-sharpened the composite layer with unsharp mask
5. hue/saturation adjustment layer - colorised with a warm hue (bout 25), reduce opacity
6. added vignette
7. then meddled with a curves adjustment layer, and reduced the opacity of this layer.

hope this helps.

I do not have any photographs myself that would be suitable, however I do love looking at photographs of this nature. It can sometimes pull you to that place and you can imagine so much more than the actual photograph itself.

I am new to the whole photography thing, in fact I havent even got my SLR camera yet, but I am trying to learn. I am enjoying the section.

Jesus, You did ALL that. I think this has highlighted another problem that I am going to face and that is once I have my photographs on the computer, what options to choose in Photoshop in order to make them worthy. I would never have thought of performing those actions on any picture. Is it just experience? playing around with the software or did you have the knowledge anyway?

Great image although the dog is a little dark and hard to make out still a great street shot

Top shot, Alan.

Here are a couple I shot yesterday on my brand new camera.

   I think the second one's a cracker. A well caught comment on the world some people choose to live in! (Not me thanks.)

   It would sit well in one of those Sunday suppliments.

I agree with Graham, Chris - the second shot is a great capture. The picture below shows a slightly different lifestyle...
