LOL - thanks for all the comments which are spot on. Most appreciated. I woke up and the first thing I thought of this morning was that the first one is not right. I was trying something specific which included uneven blurring and a whole bunch of other stuff but for this image it doesn't...

Another shot of the same lass - this time B&W

This year I have not taken on any challenges such as a 365 or a one in 52 as I want to concentrate on a few things. During the course of the year I hope to discover what I enjoy photographing and then concentrate and perfect whatever that may be. So far I enjoy landscape photography and...

I found this guys photos amazing and the video very interesting.

I came across this article on FaceBook and thought it both interesting and informative. Not that I want to become a pro - (oh who am I kidding? Of course I do. :o) The article is pretty simple, not pushy and gives links for further reading if that is what floats your boat. Want To Be A...

Be interesting to know how many people start this. I'm almost sorry I didn't now. "Almost" being the operative word :)

Congrats to all the others that completed the challenge. Sorry to learn at this stage that @Vixen didn't qualify. I was under the impression (based on memory serving me right) that you could start a day or two late. However if you are out Vixen - I congratulate you anyway for a great thread...

What a great thread and some interesting reasons for the incredible selections. My own journey was a confusion of many things; including the totally bewildering array of menus, settings and options of the DSLR, revisiting lighting, getting my head around (still a struggle) such high ISO when...

Thanks Chris and @Roy1961 and @Blacktop - all most appreciated.

Day 365! It has finally arrived and to celebrate I went back to the same spot as last night to do a sunset It has been fun but also tough with many a day where I just wanted to give up. I truly appreciate all the support and encouragement I have received - thank you one and all for your kind...

30th December Tried a 4 photo vertical panorama.

29th December I took a ride through Auckland city, just before the late sunset, in search of I know not what. And that is me up to date. Not too happy with the processing of all of these and will go back at some time but thought best to get them up with the end of the year fast...

December 28th I had a bit more time today and took a drive to a local beach where these old boats are moored. There are an amazing amount of wrecks that seem to be abandoned but have signs on them threatening prosecution, hands off or risk being shot (only kidding) etc. Amazing really as some...

December 27th Another day that seemed to demand a lot of time - family can do that! :) This is the flower of the Pohutukawa tree which is known as the New Zealand Christmas tree as it only flowers at this time of year. The trees are quite striking when in full bloom.

December 26th An even more hectic day and I only jus managed to take my shot before the bewitching hour - a house just up the road from my daughter's place.

I have some posting to do to catch-up. 25th December As always a hectic day and I got to meet a family member who wasn't born last time his folks were here from USA. This is little Adam with the cutest curly hair you ever did see.

23rd December Ok this photo was taken on the right day but only processed and posted today (12/23) I was at a loss yesterday so went to the local shopping mall and tried some hip shooting. Personally I think they were all terrible but then this little guy came past with his dad and I requested...

22nd December Just plodding along until the end now. Very bad of me but hey I've had a glass of wine and feel like a second so you get a sunflower we grew on our own. Not only is it enough to stay in but it gives hope to you northern hemisphere lot who from tomorrow are starting to steal the...

Thanks Don - I don't have the Nik Collection yet. But I did manage to tweak it some more. I think subconsciously I was trying to hang on the the evening (darker) look.

Pretty much - they look great in camera and bleh on screen.
