Some very nice shots! I especially like the 3rd one! What lenses were you using? Did you use any filters? The 3rd one looks like 17-40mm lens with polariser? Am I warm?

Thanks Ed.

The 3rd pic is a cheat I'm afraid. The sky was grey, so I used some sky (which was using a polariser) from my PistonFest pictures using Paste Into...after saturating the image for the log. No other filters, just levels and a bit of sharpening.

Lens 20mm Sigma 2.8

Photoshop skills are improving a little at a time, thanks to the advice coming from the peeps on here

Looks like more than a little!

Slowly but surely....still need to sit down with an expert with one of my pictures, explain what I'd like to do, then for the expert to guide me through it.

Using the Scott Kelby books at the moment - excellent stuff.

Hi Luca.

Excellent photos me thinks!
I think it could be slightly improved by giving it a bit more "punch". You can do this by adjusting the colour saturation, the contrast and sharpening.

Ive attached an edit below to show what i mean. They are very minor changes but here is what I did:

Contrast up 10 in brightness/contrast tool

On the hue/saturation tool:Green saturation increased by 20
Yellow saturation increased by 15

Levels tool dark pipette used to set the top left to black

USM filter Amount 100% Radius 1.0 Threshold 2 (only a slight sharpen)

The result:



Hope this is useful.
