I think theres just lots of shooters that like lots of PP here... maybe its the in thing... anyway, I've never posted in this thread before...



PP isn't a bad thing - it can really enhance a photo. For example, minor PP would've cloned out the dust bunny in your f40 shot.

Try it, trials are free so if you don't like it then nothing lost

Because it is one of ( if not ) the first gt2 rs on the road in the U.K. and the guy was launching his YouTube channel too so most of the people in that photo, except my kids, are youtubers

Still doesn't make sense to me, but then again neither to half of these inane Youtube channels that really don't show anything worth looking at what so ever.
As I mentioned earlier ... I must be getting old ...

Just started using Flickr so this is mainly a test to see how well the forum sharing/BBCode stuff works, but I shot this for a local PHer a couple of weekends ago.

Excellent. You've featured what looks like a prancing horse behind the gate. It compliments the image well.

Wow only just found this thread - it’s lovely!

A couple of photos that I’ve ended up pretty happy with, although nothing close to the content of this thread...
