3. Stanchions and a wet bit, I am happy.
4. You wouldn't want that biting your bum.
5. Moleside and Hameldon Hill in the background.
6. The toffee factory again, I cant for the life of me remember the name.
7. That's a bears behind on the left.
8. I just heard a shot from behind the grassy knoll.
9. I think this is the first time I have shown you my baubles.
10. Why is he smiling, he is sat in the snow.

They did, I think they also had premises in church up by the library.

Ice Storm Round 1: hunkering down for round 2 this afternoon. Expecting widespread power outages, so sandwiches for dinner!

How picturesque

A very windy day today, we did get a bit of sunshine as well though. No HDR tomfollery today, in fact, nothing but re-sizing.
1. Up near the windmills.
2 & 3. A couple of stream pics.
4 & 5. Some doggy mug shots.
6. I slipped on my ass more than once going down there.
7. First try at this effect.
8. Wasn`t expecting to see mushrooms at this time of year.
9. Don`t think that sunshine will last much longer.
10. It`s still poking through the clouds on someone.

She chases anything that moves, shadows, reflections, leaves blowing about. When she saw them spinning around she was off.

The detail in 4 and 5 good, along with the depth of field. Some of my snaps are very similar today

Thanks, finding the manual controls on this new camera much easier than my old one. Especially liking the manual focus, one of the most frustrating things about my old one was it never seemed to focus on what I wanted it to focus on.

Edit - Made a mistake in original post, all pics are untouched except the last one, just a bit of photoshopping on that one.

Practice is the best way to learn. You don't have to explain a manipulated photo that's what photoshop is for. If you ask a professional photographer how many of them manipulate photos, he will say they all do.
