Perhaps a bit eerie over Lake Erie.

Brian, in shots like those I think it is good to include the location in your post. I have never been there but, in Google Street View, it looks as though they were both taken from the A15 in Lincoln, the first on a footbridge over the road near the River Witham, and the second from the centre of a pedestrian crossing.

I like the first one more - it is a very good shot of both the cathedral and the light trails (but perhaps the verticals need a tiny bit of straightening). The short blue/white trails on the left of the road - presumably that was an emergency service vehicle?

Cheers.

Here are a couple of photos I have taken with my Canon 600D. The first photo was taken at Felixstowe Dock f/4 ISO 800, 1/15 sec exp and 55mm focal length in manual. The second was taken at Orford Quay on auto using f3.5, ISO 800, 25 sec exp. Opinions and tips would be very gratefully received.

with regards Jane

Jane, if these are, "As seen", then you are happy. Any post processing? I would like to have seen a bit more detail/lightness. Well done. Ed.

Thank you Ed. I have sharpened them both a little and played about with the brightness and contrast in the first one. Still learning about post processing.

The Orford photo with the lobster pots is better around the baskets, but the water behind them looks funny to me. The other one is much better. Could I ask what you did and how? As I say I have only just started using post processing. I have got Corel Paintshop Pro x6 and any tips are welcome. Thank you

Working on small file size, 130/320 approx, as opposed to original, makes a difference. The Felixstowe, was sharpened, which adds contrast, then slight brightness/contrast until I was happy with result. Other was opened in Camera Raw, which allows a fair bit of fine tuning, I just move sliders until I get what I want. Use P/S CS4E. Next time as well as Manual, try Auto, I am always impressed with it's capabilities! Cheers. Ed.

Hi Ed, Sorry for the delay in replying to you. Thank you for these tips, I will now go try them out on other photos I have taken.

For some strange reason I was unable to edit #19, therefore, as above, but, with a little editing in PhotPlusX5.

Thank you Ed. Got to admit I was quite chuffed, as with all birds, they can fly off with no notice at all. My apologies to everyone; in the Techie bits, it should have read On camera Nikon SB800 (NOT BS) Smile .
