Went for a swim at 11 O'clock, and after a few lengths I layed back and shut my eyes to listen to the Cicadas. When I opened my eyes I saw this so went and got the camera

You don't half make me jealous. Spanish holiday living for 7 years. Swimming pool. Listening to the chinquedias or whatever the hell they are.




Take this tongue in cheek please!

I like that.

Been meaning to ask what post processing techniques you use? There's a consistent..."signature" I suppose... which I notice about the shots you post up (in a good way, I hasten to add). Can't quite put my finger on what it is....


(Mind - I think mine are starting to look a bit better just from settling on a colour space and using the Gretag Eye One....)

Is there a little bit of fill flash used, or was the tree illuminated?

Whichever, it's a groovy picture!

No flash at all...just some coloured lights in the bushes round the pool.

Thanks for that - pretty much what I do - Rawshooter: I quite like the new vibrancy slider....
