Day 271, September 27th HDR view of the river I had when I came back home this morning. Had to stop to capture it. Have a great day!

Day 270, September 26th First pics with my new D600. Didn't have time to do much but around the backyard

Sunset in Gozo, Malta.

Shot on the Gozo island in Malta:

Day 269, September 25th Just a summer afternoon thinking of the cold weather that's ahead of us... And a snapshot from Malta that I had forgotten about.

I found this crop gave almost a portrait look with the B&W conversion.

Not for judging Just to get things going a little. This one is from 2 weeks ago so it's not for competing but to pump up the participation a bit.

Day 268, September 24th. Piano person in front of her older piano (the one she doesn't use anymore): And a souped up ordinary shot: And 2 shots from last week's in Malta (I'm still finding interesting stuff in there)

Day 267, September 23rd Today, I'm in a bind. I started by thinking I'd be lucky to get one good shot in after my walk in the park, but without my knowledge, as I was shooting a tree, I didn't notice the heron in the bottom right corner. Pure fluke. But I also had these two shots that I...

Weekly Challenge Sept. 23rd-30th: Models This week's challenge is to make someone look like a model. It could be your wife, child, husband, neighbor, clerk... We will be looking at a head and shoulder kind of portrait with a little bit of glamour. As usual, out of the camera or retouched...

Day 266, September 22nd. My little niece's birthday. Shy little girl didn't want to show me the tooth she had lost.

Here is a one exposure Photomatix conversion file. From my first day at Julian Knight's photo shoot in Malta.

Here is one from the island of Gozo, Malta. This is called Azure window and is close to San Lawrenz.

Probably my last from the Julian Knight photo event in Malta. These were taken in the pool (kind of scary to get in there with the D700…). I did less retouching than Julian would do but to each his own. Enjoy

I don't want to burst your bubble, but to me all these lack contrast and have been underexposed. You should try to improve them by adding exposure and contrast in PP. Just my opinion. Just as an example of what I mean:

I worked on a few more shots from Malta. One nice panorama done hand held: 2 views of Valetta, the capital:

Back to work with my customers who are maybe not as glamourous as the models but can be as beautiful. Line is the wife of the main piano player. She hovered over on her lunch time just to let me in to work on their piano.

Little cat from Malta.
