interesting you say ‘no tripod used’. Was it just for these shots or do you never use a tripod? If you do, may I ask which one? I invested in a decent tripod but it is heavy and I find it a burden to carry.

I will deal with Photoshop John It is a mixed blessing.

PS is worth the initial investment, if you want to get the best out of photographs. New editions come along regularly and the upgrade path is clear but a little pricey. your But one current version should last you for years

I feel a bit guilty Andy, as I realised how much extra work this would entail. Miss it out if it’s of no particular use. Colin Prior gives info in TGO, but now I think about it, I’m not able to learn much from this; I just find myself being surprised.

Once again PhotoShop rears it’s head. I think you’d better let us know the worst soon Andy. When my pro friend recommended a camera perhaps he should have said “PhotoShop”. I know he uses it extensively. It’s a bit of a blow to have spent a few hundred Â£s only to realise your only half way there.

I’ll have to dig out the settings John. No tripods were used with any of them. Just one word of warning. Colour photos processed by PS are like old block and white prints – the exposure is one thing, the post production is another!

Andy, having read this far I’m now looking at your (wonderful) pictures wondering what settings they were taken with, was tripod used etc. Any chance of this in captions?
