Ok then, heres mine, just copied and pasted from the post/thread in the nature/arch forum.

It was actually taken early/mid august, but then i had to wait to get back to the uk, the editing took a while, and then went to france for 2 weeks, so ive only just managed to get it finished and uploaded, ill take it down if people object.

Nice pictures. The helicopter picture is very effective in causing vertigo! And I am serious, I can feel the motion...

Something you don't want to look at after a night of drinking... this has bed spins beat!

Seriously Colin - the Helicopter picture is awesome - as are all of them! You might take 1, 2, and 3rd! Is that your plan????;)

Hi Kori,

Thanks :)

Actually, in terms of competition it works against me as it splits the vote, but I'm not too worried -- just a bit of fun anyway :)

Hi Chris,

Just a quick tip with flower shots like this - you have to under-exposed them by a couple of stops to stop the red channel blowing out (as it has here). As a result (of under-exposing) they will look somewhat "dark", but you'll have lot's more detail in the petals :)

Welcome to the world ...

I was playing in the basement or rather shooting in a basement recently.

This image was captured on August 29th and only qualifies because of Colin's "thereabouts" clause. I took this when photographing an anniversary celebration and that event has had me so busy I haven't been able to shoot since. I like this image because it has a bit of a classical look with a hint of fantisy.

Hi Chuck,

Nice shot ... it would probably make a good candidate for "The Orton Effect" thats some are experimenting with here.

This is mine for this end of Summer.
Thank You.

Thanks Colin. I had to look up the Orton Effect. I used Paint Shop Pro Photo and Topaz.

I was out testing my newly acquired (gratis)6 year old 3MP D-Lux a few days ago. Not a great deal of difference between this and my 12MP .No PP done on this photo.
