Back on track

[john185k]

Well after water incident with the camera... it has taken me 4-5 weeks to get over it.... But managed to get my new 5dmk2 and a second hand 17-40L (from *cough* 4HERO *cough*)

Now I cannot wait to take some pictures again!

The last one taken with the old camera...

Good to hear you're back in the saddle again

Looking forward to your shots with an even wider lens! 4hero's shots show it to be a great copy

Nice to have you back John, looking forward to your snaps

Hah looks remarkably similar to the last shot my mate took with his 40D...

Good to see you back out shooting again!

[john185k]

Cheers Rob, it appears to be a bit of a graveyard!

You wanna be careful with that lens. It may have a tendency to produce GIF's that may offend!!

Glad you got sorted John

Lol, cheers guys. Neil sends his regards.

Id love to be able to take photos like that, mine all come out looking rather dull, my 50D is wasted in my hands lmao

Is it down to photoshop?

[Pinosaure]

Photoshop can make a differance but a bad photo will always be a bad photo lol.
Great shot by the way

If I remember correctly it had a mono conversion in lightroom, slight tweak with the shadows, sharpen and a little straighten. The exposure is as was taken through the camera via a polarizer and a Lee 0.6 hard grad.

Drop me an email if you want any hinters (not that I am an expert!)

O and a boost of clarity
