This was just a try out..........The picture is of the Beach at Port Douglas in Queensland.....it was taken on a Sunday afternoon......hence the crowds.

Nice pic, you pinched one of my framing techniques!
Pics always look good with a natural frame around them, think this looks a little better without too much shadow in the foreground - what do you think?
Adjusted the curves a touch too, just for my liking

Margaret Pilkington · 26-04-2005, 20:15

Yes.......good job, well done. I am trying to put some more pics up......this is only the second time I have posted pictures......I have a set of destructions but I think I must be a numpty because it is taking me ages.

This is one of my favourites from last week at townley park

I don't normally like grey squirrels but she's cute and it's a lovely photo.

Margaret Pilkington · 26-04-2005, 20:56

Here are a few more pics........I hope you like them because I have sweated blood to get them posted.......and there have been a few swear words muttered under my breath.
These are specially for Sparkologist.

Is the 2nd one Nobby's point?

Margaret Pilkington · 26-04-2005, 21:03

Oooh I think I had better make them smaller next time.......I have reduced the size, but maybe not enough......see told you I was a numpty.

Len.......I printed out your intsructions and they are simple......but then so am I......hehehe.

K.S.H.......love your pic of the squirrel.....how did you get so close? or was it a fancy Zoom?

Nothing fancy, just 6X Optical, never use the digital one

If you just do each one on a new line Margaret they aren't too big at all.

Margaret Pilkington · 26-04-2005, 21:14

The first picture is of the Artesian well that serves the homestead where my niece lives...the second picture is of the Mooloolaba River, about 5 minutes drive from Noosa......The third picture is of Cape Byron Lighthouse........and the last one is clearly stated on the sign.

There are some truly beautiful places in Oz......but so far Byron Bay comes pretty close to perfect.

There never too big! as long as they are under the 200kb limit there fine, you get more detail to see

Margaret Pilkington · 26-04-2005, 21:16

I thought I had done them on new lines Willow.......I am going to have to practice some more.....and perhaps make them a bit smaller......I think I have the hang of it now.

This is the one I was talking about, 2nd pic but 3rd thumbnail, is it known as Nobby's point? is it up near newcastle?

Margaret Pilkington · 26-04-2005, 21:22

No it is just minutes away from Noosa. I have been to a Nobby's point but that was near Cairns......which is way up in Far Northern Queensland.
Noosa is just about 90 minutes drive from Brisbane.
