[Deleted User] · February 2013

I never said anything about actually taking the photo in February...but I did come across it again the day before yesterday :P

As to the bollard - isn't that why they invented Photoshop?

@darkslide: Ah, I viewed the date modified as the date taken which is 05/12.

Photoshop CS6 content aware couldn't cope with the curved steps in my shot.

Since I am living within sight from Martha's Vineyard, where the original "The Fog" movie was made, I thought I share this pic from January with you.

Kanuck, this is a very nice one.

Another one from Thaipusam in Malaysia.

I suspect one either likes the high view or one doesn't. On the day I was shooting, everyone else I saw was on the floor, at least down low, so I am either very bad or the others didn't have a monopod....whatever

Msmoto suggested trying for more isolation from the background. This one is partially successful at doing so.

D800, 200mm, f2.8.

I think you would find the clone tools will work well with this one.... If it bothers you that much?

@ kanuck - Terrific shots of the stairway. This last one you could call "Dude Descending a Staircase".

I love looking at these pics. Hopefully i will have time to go through and post some of my own.

What i would be interested in seeing is the original next to the post of some of these shot. i'm just interested what shots you take REALLY look like and what the role software is playing in making these great images

chrisjakes, I have before and after shots in some of my blog posts, if it's of any interest: http://rifqisphoto.wordpress.com/blog/

@ chrisjakes
In shooting film originally, I learned how to print photos. The original from the camera is only a partial image. The post processing is what makes the photo.

As a learning tool, your suggestion is good. New thread?
