    Ta mate...i did correct it (the lens distortion) in CS2 but i like it like it is. Yeah my gallery (tks btw, means a lot to me coming from you)...mate i just lump it all together & do everything like the way i shoot, just a speedway car going into the crowd.

    I like this. I read the posts here and look at the pictures and it bugs the crap out of me that mine don't look like this.

    I looked at your galleries and I LOVE the pelican picture. I'm not much of a bird person, but I really like that one!

    Tks for looking stef. We have a lota lota pelicans here.

    Believe me no one got more frustrated than me with photography until i just learnt to accept my own stuff. I couldnt care less what people think of my shots & it wasnt until i got to be like that then people started telling me i had improved greatly from my humble point & shoot beginings. (actually my dads old praktica in 1974 was my 1st)

    Just let go & shoot shoot shoot. Get into the LAB threads in here because after fighting Rutts mind control for 2 years now...he is on to something with LAB colour.

    Good Luck

    ps..dont be afraid to let a shot develop to look un-natural as you process it. Photography is nothing but subjective art.

    Just to the right of the pic is the top of an old church with a heap of 1 ton bells on its roof so i shot it & when i opened it up in PS here is a bloody air-cond unit sitting smack square in the middle of the shot. Some people mate !

    It looked great in the morning sun through the 400 until i saw that.

    Beautiful light.

    Very creative use of a camera effect that many go out of their way to correct with lenses or photoshop.

    Always good to think outside the box.

    Great shot. You use a polarizer for that one? Seems like there's considerable color difference in the sky from one end of the shot to another. Or is that just the sunrise (which I would otherwise guess is behind you)?

    Tks for looking Ed & 66. I really dont know what i liked about it but i sent it off in my 1st ever print run (a whole 6 photos). Ive never printed any of my photos before.

    I did back that blue off a bee's doodle though.

    Great shot! Both are good but the first vesrion is outstanding. It emphasises the distortion and uses it for the creative effect very well. :):


    The second still has some distortion but it doesn't look intentional in the same way.
