Fantastic photographs. Any Photoshop in there or are they straight out of the camera?
It looks very cold.

Other than the border, I think I upped the brightness in one and reduced the contrast in one as the colours just seemed too strong. I am not much of a photoshop tweaker as I never know if I am improving or making a picture worse. The Nikon PictureProject software I was has an "auto adjust" button so normally just hit that and live with the results

It wasn't too cold, probably slightly above freezing, there was next to no wind so was just about ideal. My speedcats did get a bit soggy tramping across the moor so heater was full on the feet for the drive home :)

I don't think that camera does any "extra" sharpening and I certainly didn't add any afterwords. Theses were all shot in JPEG as again I don't know what I am doing with RAW :oops: . JPEGs seem to work just fine for what I need.

I don't find the photography bit the hard bit, the hard bit is being in the right place at the right time. The pro's combat this by a lot of planning and a lot of early mornings and a lot of hanging about.

If you have a digi camera, just go somewhere nice on a sunny day and make sure you get the sun behind you and you really can't go wrong. The worst thing you can do is to not at least give it a go. :thumbsup

Great pics. Makes me determined to slope off for a day soon. Certainly preferable to work or getting ready for Christmas!
