H i haven't been able to take many images of late, and when i do i will post them there - with the steroids attached . All it is mate is a poor mans HDR - even some of your images get a bit half baked (or in my case over cooked). Each to their own topaz can be a nice colour - but as a software enhancement of the image - i like it. I'd love to go on trips and get to see exotic locations - image them then bring them home as a lasting memory but with family life it gets pretty near impossible to get the time to get the nice sunsets, the early dawn light either bath time or getting the day started with the family. Did that a few too many times and almost paid for it, so its tow the line and suffer looking at everyone else's exotic shots. its only a rare occasion that i can get a shot like the last one. in actual fact i was on the phone to Mike, who was also seeing this colour, i was literally looking his way as i could not see the conjunction due to the cloud - that's when Mike got his award winning shot of the conjunction - while we were both on the phone. How sad is that . So take the opportunities as they come your way, you may never get another chance that's why i bought the software - to help my very mediocre images.

well i cant help myself, i borrowed a shot from a work collegue this afternoon- he had a shot from this series printed in last years Australian BOM weather calender. So i tarted up one of his shots he took in 2004 with of all things a canon 300D Go the old cameras

he was taken back at the result - as was I. This was achieved in under a minute the blur in the middle isnt dirt - it was a bird

Hi Dave

I like it – especially the real sense of drama that the processing has added to the clouds. I would probably tone down the effect slightly, in particular on the texture of the ocean as it looks just slightly too plastic?

Glad to see that you’ve now got yet another hobby for those cloudy nights!

Cheers

Dennis

i do agree, but as i said i spent less than 2 minutes for the whole lot. It was the result of processing a bog standard JPEG, as Mat did not think to take RAW images (still doesnt). thanks for the input Dennis
