Photo Of The Day.

Nice photograph. Hope you dont mind, I had a quick fiddle with the picture. If you can master the other commands you can control the outcome a lot more than using autofix. Though there is nothing with your version, you may even like it better, I feel part of the fun taking photographs are the processes after the photo has been taken.

The point I was making was; 'simple' = low cost camera and a budget Photo Shop package. The camera has full auto through to as much manual control as one would wish, the same applies to the Elements versions of PS. Elements Auto makes a remarkably good stab at an appropriate adjustment, especially when one compares it to the original and the more complex approach, and one presumes? the vastly more expensive pro version of Photo Shop? Sorry if you have used Elements, but the point still stands, cost is not everything, the words 'less user friendly' spring to mind

 

Complex . . . nah' keep it simple, why do things the hard way? if the final result, is for me, the same :rolleyes: If it were cheaper to do things manually? or your personal pleasure is manual manipulation . . .

 

Takes me back to a previous life; records, LP's were wonderful things; CD's and the digital world we live in makes things very flat, 2 dimensional and uninteresting, the 'black art' skills are no more? . . . I wonder? recording techniques and understanding have improved in recent years Perhaps this is the case with digital photography, high pixel rating, better technology and relative low cost is capable of ringing some bells? :g::clap2:

 

The above may make a good, slightly controvertial topic to continue in its own right?

Slodger great shots of the two butterflies your Nikon does a great job for you, the best i have seen for a long time.

 

Thanks :thumbs::clap2::thumbs::clap2::thumbs:

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

 

"Even a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work."

 

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.

Thanks chaps, it's nice to know someone's interested in the pictures and to get a few positive comments. :)

 

Here's something I found on a revisit to my childhood village today. I don't think they're particulary rare, but I've certainly never seen them before. I'm assuming they are 'Bee Orchids'? A stunning little flower whatever it is, and tucked away in a quiet little corner of a Suffolk field.
