I’m always impressed at how crisp your photos are. Is that the camera or PS ? I don’t do anything to my photos, just upload them, scrap the rubbish and select my favourites. Now that the cat ‘fixed’ my camera I don’t have a valid reason right now to get a new one. My favourite of your shots is the one by the stream, the whole composition really works. Incidentaly, one of my friends runs a small advertising business and has chosen some of my snowy landscapes for a heat pump ad. If the client likes one I’ll be paid for it! Not enough for a new camera though.

Hi Ruta, that’s great that some of your shots have been picked. See, it’s not just me that likes them!!

The camera gives the clarity of the pictures. I sometimes use autofix on the pictures but beyond that I don’t know how it works. I admit I’ve just bought a book to learn more but I truly believe that you can make a photo worse rather than better unless you’re really proficient at photoshop. I’ll let you know how it goes when I try out the PS techniques. JT

They look like they’re having so much fun! I love the first picture through the grass.

I also usually find that the best shots are the ones I didn’t particularly compose – and I’m certainly not much good at post-processing. It scares me sometimes that most of my best pictures have been ‘one offs’ where I just took a single, quick shot of something interesting and then pocketed the camera again! So much luck…. 🙂
