Took this one before my camera went in for repairs... Being without my camera is a lot tougher then I thought it would be. Still no idea how long the repairs will take. JIMBO

Nice shot Jimbo but it looks a bit dark, well not really dark, it just needs something to make it pop. PP should fill in some time waiting for your camera. Hope you get it back soon mate.

The orginal is a lot brighter Gary... Sgould have done this PP in Lightroom.. Will give it a try in the morning and repost. I always have better luck in Lightroom with the compression side when posting here. Will know tomorrow about timing on the camera. Will spend a few hours tomorrow on some olders pictures to past the time. Cheers bud.. JIMBO

Funny how different applications work. I store my pics on Iphoto 05 and process in Elements 6.
The pictures look totally different in Iphoto than in Elements (brighter in Elements). Even if I don't do any PP I just open a picture in Elements and save it back to Photoshop and it looks much better.

Jimbo, I really like this one, would love to see it bigger!

I agree with Gary Jimbo - love the shot , framing could use some more contrast and color pop. Hope the camera comes home soon.

Was told today Pentax has the camera and it will at least two more weeks. I may need theropy by then! I am going to re-work this shot today and see if I can bump up the contrast.... This was shot with my Pentax 12-24, which I am still trying to get use to. Cheers JIMBO

When I re-work this photo I will send a link so you can check it out on a larger format. I need to get it to pop a little more. Thanks for commenting JIMBO

Long story.. left on top of car.. drove away.. smashed on ground.. though it was ok... but would not auto or manual focus some lenses. Found out the lens attachment ring was loose which of coarse effected some of the electronics on the focusing... Just told today it could be as long as two weeks!! I have signed up for theropy... Cheers JIMBO

PS: it did give a reaosn to re-read me manual twice and meet my kids again!! and thaks for commenting on the phots.. in the middle of re-doing it to brighting up the whole picture. JIMBO

Thanks Neil... I may have metered incorrectly so wil try to fix up with software. ALWAYS appreciate comments good or bad. How else I am going to learn and about 99% of the time the comments are dead on. Cheers JIMBO
