Nicely done, Bill. This sort of thing very often goes muddy grey when you try to tone it down, but you have taken the glare out of the windows and still retained the natural look. |

Hi Ian, thanks for visiting. If you are ever up in our area, please contact me and maybe we could take some pictures together. Paula sends her regards. |

Thanks Ian. It's not a technique for everyday use, but it is fun to play with. |

An excellent image Bill, with good verticals and good detail. The HDR has worked very well to control the contrast without looking like HDR. You clearly had a high vantage point from which to take the picture (balcony?), which would have eased the converging verticals problem that normally happens in this sort of work. However, you don't say if this was high enough to eliminate the problem without needing further correction in Photoshop. Like Gary, I am curious about the two bright lights at the top which tend to pull the eye awaay from the altar and organ area. |

Gary, that is a nice idea, but if I were to mask the people from the treatment they would be restored to the original IR image condition where they hve a strong orange cast. They would still need some sort of treatment. A different Replace Color perhaps? Worth a try when I have a few minutes. Thanks for the idea. |

Ian, that is one very large ship. It can carry more passengers than the entire population of our little market town of Stokesley. I'm not sure I understand 4:45 am. I didn't think it still existed! Seriously, you have captured the ship in superb light, and it was your good fortune that the ship was an hour late. I imagine that an hour earlier the light was not very good. |

Erik, you have captured a special moment of the mother feeding her chick. Although this is something that happens millions of time across the world, it is somehow still very special. Good timing. Photographing wild animals and birds in their natuaral habitat is always going to show clutter somewhere. That is nature. Happily, you have minimised the foreground clutter and got a clear shot of the action. Could you do a gentle vignette to darken everything except the birds? I think that might concentrate the attention on the subject more. |

Vella, my first thought when I opened the image was that this could have been taken in northern Britain. Maybe it is the colour and texture of the rocks. Then I read you comments and saw it was Norway. Not too far away and the geology must be similar. Getting good pictures of waterfalls can be difficult, because you need just the right shutter speed to portray the water as moving but retaining some detail, and you also need to avoid blown out highlights in the moving water. I think you have hit it nicely with this shot. You might just want to tone down one slightly lighter bit about three quarters down on the right hand edge. |

Isaac, that is a remarkable shot. It is interesting that he obviously spotted you because you have eye contact and he appears to be shouting with the thrill of the moment. It is, I think, a bit too close because a little more space would have been good. (I appreciate that there was nothing you could do about it with a fixed focus lens). It is spectacular all the same. It is very sharp with good focus and no movement blur. There are even a few drops of water falling off the board at the bottom right. The other shots you included show that you must have had a great time! |

Gary, I like the story that is being told here. Your title highlights the amusing situation of past, present and future coming together with two young people having eyes only for each other, but I also see something that is timeless. A timeless moment in time if you like. Well spotted, well captured and very nicely processed. |

This technique is new to me too, Isaac. I tried the same thing on another image taken on the same day but it really did NOT work. So I am still trying to find the secret. |
