Nice tnf, really nice. You caught a moment there.

I love the kitchen HDR shot above too

I think in my retirement, soon I hope, I going to follow your lead here and by me a new camera then (hopefully) take shots like you. They are simply great

Nice shots, andy.

I forgot to mention last week, but BBC Wildlife Magazine has posted its "MasterClasses" for taking nature photos. They cover everything from plant and animal portraits, underwater, close-up and B&W.

Here's a few shots I took relatively recently, or decided to process relatively recently, as is closer to the truth.

This is probably the best thread on Q3W
*Would read again*

Oh, here's ahuge gallery of my Urban exploration stuff if anyone is interested: http://www.john-godwin.co.uk/urbex

Also, I have a blog with more work on http://www.john-godwin.co.uk/blog

That last photo, without the sail boat, it would have been impossible to judge the scale of those "rocks" on the right. They look like little clods of dirt. Love your photos, Yeahso.

that one looks kinda shopped actually (?)

that green mental institute one is cool too

Yeah absolutely, Seremtan. That picture is a tiny crop of a larger coastline. I drove for three hours to some beach in South Wales, and the weather ended being a bit shit, and this tiny portion of a single image was the only thing I shot that looked any good. I threw the boat in there because there was no other way to judge scale. The portion of rock is actually about 2 meters long. It was tiny.

You are really fascinated by people in uniform. You seem to miss being enlisted. Why'd you get out?

you can only see it properly from the air, which just proves that bronze age man had aeroplanes that the aliens taught them to build

they also built that little hill right of centre, but you can't see it properly from there either

I need to get something small i can take with me on the bike.

I can never make my mind up on HDR

I re-did this old cathedral shot a few days ago using a dual-tone mapping technique - after completing the first tone-mapping of the HDR in Photomatix, you run the tone-mapper again. You need to bump the saturation way down (around 40-50% depending on the image) and then tweak the other settings, but it really increased the brightness and color of the blue stained glass window and the surrounding frame, which in the original HDR were a bit dark. Obviously this isn't mean to look unprocessed.
