Different take on yesterday's field. 20-sec exposure with ND filter. With hindsight, perhaps too much movement in the foreground flowers but was trying to get a sort of dreamy atmosphere. Comments always appreciated.

Getting the exposure time right on these shots is trial and error. You may well find you need one speed for the sky and another down below.
Mind you it's so windy here today, I recon I could get the same effect in 1/2000's of a second.

An oldish photo with a new treatment. Tried a new look for it whilst having a discussion with Kenoh. Thought I'd post it for comments/views.

interesting subject. Think you might benefit a bit from straightening that horizon. Also like Wednesdays photo, one from the front might look a bit better.

Thanks for the suggestions! I do have more pics... Level and from other angles which I will be posting later.:)
 
Come on now guys - I put on my best outfit and brushed my tooth for that selfie!

I find it hilarious that you take a picture of MY daughter from my Flickr feed, tweak it to demonstrate a new processing technique you were helping me with, post it back to your own Flickr feed, and it gets more comments than my original! Lol...

Kind of like Facebook where I am lucky if I get 10 likes on any of my images. Unless it is an image of my brother in law Paul in which case I have seen in excess of 40 likes!!! I mean, he isn't THAT cool!

And I took some headshots for a friend. He posted one as his profile picture. 42 likes!!!!

Sod's law isn't it. To be fair Ken most of the comments were from you saying how gorgeous she is ;)

So kind of dumb and smart simultaneously?

Hmm.. good one but IMHO too much clarity. We have seen her before in your images and she doesn't need the heavy cheekbone treatment... :)

Yeah I am biased... But... Even if one of them is genuine as opposed to me cooing, it is still more than I got!

Ahaa! That's actually -15 on the clarity, that 85mm of mine is one sharp lens. Appreciate the feedback, Ken but the idea behind this one was to be harsh and over the top. An Anti Beauty Queen if you will. ;)

Cool... But she is too pretty for that no? :)

Yeah that is a very nice lens!
