Ok, nothing major; just a 2 layer image so I could tweak the sky and land seperately.
USed the dodge tool to bring out some detail in the jetty to the left and amongst the trees, put some burn into the sky to give it some nice dramatic feel
After
Before
As said, nothing major just a minor tweak to see what further potential the image had[/img]

WOW! stunning read. I really think i need to my upgrade my camera and this thread has convinced me to do so and for the EOS Range. Last time i owned a EOS was back when it was 35mm. I owned at the time a EOS1000FN which was a goosd camera but times move on.
Its really interesting to read about panning on here, as thats really difficult to do it think. I always seem to end up with the front or the back chopped off The last time I did any panning was at Donnington on 29th December 2006. A few pics that can be seen below and with some devastating results
However on the upside i have had some very good ones, BUt it seems that for every 10 i take 1 turns out good, or what i deem to be good
time to get buying me thinks...

Normally:
[.] = Spot
[] = center weighted
[()] = partial
[(.)] = evaluative.
At least, it is on canons...
Dan,
That looks far better.... high time i learnt to use this CS2 isnt it? Great, another project i have no time for.

Glad you like Stu, just a few things I've picked up along the way that help get that extra little bit from each picture where possible
Snoopy: I have a Nikon D50, I think Stu is right, I'd say its the metering for the camera, if it's any consolation mines set to 'Matrix'
One more I found from the weekend; it's what rainy bank holidays are for
Nikon D50, Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF, RAW

loving the pic of the frog / toad, pure quality
Im getting a lil more used to my camera now, loving playing with it.
One thing I would like to get though is a wide angle lens!
If anyone can give me some links or ideas of which one to get it would be most appreciated I've got the canon 400D body
Went to a track day on Saturday & took a few pics with my new 300mm lens Its finally nice to be so far away, but yet be able to get close, which is what I was always trying to do before rather then the item I'm photographing looking like a dot in the picture
These are the better shots that came out. I was on a very fast straight into a bend, so had to be very quick on the click to capture the picture, or actually to at least get the whole car in the show rather then the front or the back
Again on this shot I'm still in the sports mode, hence how I got the rear wheel in the air
Couple of static shots whilst I wait for home time
One thing I do find myself doing now more with this camera rather then a normal smaller digital camera is asking people to ove away from things as I can see their reflections in whatever I'm trying to photograph
Its great fun though & I enjoy it

I got a Sigma 10-20mm lense, for my EOS350, and I'm really pleased with it, keep on trying to find reasons to use it

I took these 2 with it, the full size pics are excellent.

Just thought you might want to play with bracketing too if your camera supports it
It automatically takes a series of pictures across a range of exposures around the one you have selected
