One of friends has a video on Youtube of the A-10's that did the loop last year, at the end he has a photo of one with his watermark (which is also a tornado) everybody is convinced the video is a fake because they think the watermark is the A-10's shadow!

David Ellins? Was the first result on the tube, saw the watermark.

Quite a few people were pleases to see those planes!

Yep thats the one, its only the second time they have ever done the loop and probably the last, I was meant to be there but unfortunately work got in the way!

Great shots Mike - the first in particular

Think you may have had a smudge on your lens though - towards the top slightly right of centre.

Cheers Mike, not sure what you mean about the smudge though?

I'm currently attempting a 27 image stitch shot at 100mm, even with 24Gb of RAM my computer is not happy with it.

35,000px wide!


Thanks for the comments on the Reeds photo's guys!

plenty more shots to be processed from yesterday, taking my time with them though.

Wow.

So much great stuff on this thread, but the colours and composition crop on this one just grabbed me!

I think everyman and his dog has this photo!

You don't know how lucky you are! I live on this road, and pass it at least once a week, and have only seen it in such a state twice in 15 years. It's a very rare sight.

Often see it like this mind:

I'm pretty sure this has flown past my house once or twice relatively recently.

Even luckier considering that after 2 shutter releases the battery died!

Finally back home in Aachen after our two week trip to Barra and Skye, hopefully will find some time in the next few weeks to process some of the pics from our travels, for now here's the view from the South side of Barra looking over to Vatersay...

And it wouldn't be half as much fun without the Monaro on the islands...

New anti-piracy watermark surely?

Right Dogsey?

Absolutely, and if only DD has seen it he must have been up to something dodgy!

Guilty as charged! I was trying to improve on your sky using the detail extractor in color Efex - didn't work but it realty shows up any imperfections

It's (almost) all the same thing... curves, highlight/shadow, fade. Your shot is fine but it's all 'midtone' you need the brights to be brighter and the darks to be darker. It'll give it that zing thing.

All IMHO of course.

ETA my 1 second edit has blown the highlights, so a bit more care could be taken to hold them.

Or in Lightroom :



These are the only adjustments I did :



Hope this helps.

Cheers gents, only just had the chance to look at this thread again. That seems to make sense, hope I can put it into practice when I get 5 minutes.

I almost deleted this one in camera, but at the last minute decided that I sort of liked it

Shot straight into the sun.
