Excellent stuff as usual Witty.

Tut tut to the guy working under a car supported by a jack!

I don't know what everyone was looking for but it looks as if Pete Wilkinson is praying they found it! Martin Heath looks as though he is consoling him!

Joking aside, I like the more unusual ones like the zoom images. Were they done in photoshop or did you twist the zoom when taking the pics?

I've another question for you Witty.

Do you spend hours cropping them and tweaking them afterwards or are they pretty much good to go?

I guess with the equipment and your experience you don't need to do much tweaking on the actual image with like us mortals on cheaper equipment but do you spend much time cropping, angling and generally enhancing the shot to give a better dynamic visual?

Tiesse, Bad Actor - no, I absolutely hate spending ages faffing around with photoshop. Pretty well much everything I do is in camera, some pics just might want slight tweaking but apart from sharpening, they're ready to go.

The streaks are done by setting to slow shutter speed and zooming the lens while the shutter curtain is open. It's fun to do, but a little hit and miss. But the end result is far better than you can achieve in PS. ;)

BTW Tiesse, your commentary on that group of pics made me laugh loads! :laugh: Brill! :cheese:

[Bad Actor]

Hmmmm, just proves the difference between a pro and a snapper.

I've got a shed load of shots from last year that I need to wade my way through, loads of cropping, tweaking etc required.

Very good pic's btw.

Kinda fires me up to take some decent shots of stuff when I venture out.

Given your comments about Photoshop, do you shoot in JPEG or RAW?

I shoot in the highest quality JPEG. Tried RAW a time back but it didn't do it for me.
