I'm sure your explanation of the technical stuff is top-notch -the second dog is invisible - shouldn't that have been you??!!:D

The aftermath of yesterday's snow storm - a lot of shovelling.
1. Hubby is glad of the little electric snow shovel.
2. Neighbours digging out their cars down the street.
3. A big fox was startled out of hiding. Sorry I didn't have my proper camera on me!

It is good to broaden the mind with technical pursuits, but if you are going to use them rarely or there is a program that will do the job without all that mental gymnastics then you would be daft to ignore it(the program).

I think photography is a very interesting pursuit, but you have to have suitable subjects to photograph, and techniques that show the subject off to its best advantage.......Dave you have those skills(in spades). You seem to have a good eye for composition of shots(though how I would know that seeing as I have had absolutely no training,is beyond me)
If you get the right shot, then there is little that needs to be done to tweak it.....maybe a crop but anything else is extra and unwarranted.

This is just my opinion - though I bet there are others out there who will agree with me.
You have taken some shots that I would give my eye teeth for...so stop messing!

A damp, misty day again but I had to get out for some fresh air... much cheaper than yesterday's excursion to the big shopping mall in Cremona where I hit the final day of the sales!

Lots of signs of coppicing the trees along the local streams. First timid signs of re-birth -new catkins. A contemporary of Maxthecollie in (Cortetano) Italy -it says "Beware of the Dog" but he looks very friendly!! The candle lit at the little shrine at the end of the lane marks the centenary of the birth of Pope John 23rd -(1960's).

Number six is my favourite of that set.....though I cannot tell you why.
