I just transposed a bit of piano music from Bb to A and it just doesn't sound as good. There is NO reason for this. Brains are funny things (I wish I had some).
That's a good way of putting it!To me some images just look better flipped, in this one I feel it made the shapes in the image a bit more balanced.
On a similar line I process all of my images whilst they are flipped upside down, It's a good way to make you're brain see the patterns and shapes in an image in a disconnected sort of way from the scene. I find it helps me a lot with particularly complex images.

Only you could justify not being convinced! I think it's excellent. You just don't get that light around here

So why doesn't that work with the same image unflipped?

kwitted/blind/etc I have to be to see that it's straight. (the lady can spot a wonky picture at a hundred paces)LongQ said:

Thanks for the lens info.
The "spot", whatever it is, is at x: 4383 y: 2713 or thereabouts.
Or, to put it another way, in the large conifer and to the left of the trunk just over half way up is a largish grey bird - probably a pigeon. Find that and drop down the image to the lower edge of the thick set of branches below it. Look left along the lower edge about half as far as the edge is below the bird. There is a fairly large light spot that seems to be out of context with its surroundings - i.e. it has approximately the same RGB values as the sky area and some of the white flowers along the path and stuff visible through obvious gaps in the foliage to brighter items in the background BUT doesn't seem to be the same sort of "show through" detail. So it looks out of place and worthy of a check.
On the other hand it occurred to me just now that the pigeon appears to be preening and it's just possible it's a feather or something falling to the ground. In which case that is absurdly good resolution. (Or, of course, rubbish jpg if one can see the details of the feather in an original RAW file ....
)
If it IS a feather and the resolution IS what is seems to be then it's just possible the feather structure detail may be visible in RAW before any processing is applied .... That would be remarkable.
Will have a look when I'm next connected to my laptop :thumb up:The "spot", whatever it is, is at x: 4383 y: 2713 or thereabouts.

Took this today, playing with flash...
I like that George. Nice soft lighting on the car 
Is that your dads?
I've got my first new born baby shoot tomorrow, so I thought I'd experiment with my lighting set up.
I didn't have a spare baby lying about so I had to use a teddy I found. I've decided to call him Hobo...

Yeah. It's an incredibly hard car to light and make look good so great to practise on. In fact that's the first photo I've ever taken of it that I'm happy with! Is that your dads?Here is before any lighting and after lighting and photoshop:

As you recommend.. It does improve it some. Interesting on the crops and flips. Amazing what the brain sees and likes and how you can manipulate things.

Funnily enough I'm sitting watching LOTR and that could be a still from the film DibblyDobbler said:

It's photographs like this that are making me look into ND's and new lenses!
