12th December Almost forgot to add the day's shot! Found another walk that I have never been on before. Crossed paths with a lady and her husky - snapped a shot and am quite pleased with the result. I decided to take out the lead and some background clutter. Thank-you Lynda.com I have a...

11th December Tried something today which I can't recall trying before - shooting insects with my 70-300mm at 300mm. Just to see how sharp the photos came out. I was quite impressed but probably won't try it again unless forced to. I also tried out my macro lens and suspect that there is...

10th December Gave a golf lesson this morning and took a few snaps of the student to show her how much she has improved. A ways to go yet but the difference from when she started a month ago to now is amazing. This is a shot of her follow through.

9th December When the going get's tough, the tough get going and Lawrence can't! Oh inspiration thou has forsaken me! First shot today is called "Ducks in a row" - they got to far away from the pier too quickly. Put another was I was simply too slow. The second was a tree that had striking...

8th December Yay! A much more productive day for me. Went for a walk down by the river and met Judith and Lily. Lily's hat was just the appendage needed for a great couple of photos of a very pretty lass who was amazingly outgoing and mum was more than happy for me to snap away. It also...

7th December Its been another day of struggling to find something to shoot. It was really bright all day and then when it got cooler my mojo was dead. I shall probably keep posting junk until 12/31

6th December A serious effort to stay in contention. far too much to drink because of this man.

5th December

probably a bit blown out - I also cropped a bit on the left.

Late to the party - only found this thread today.

Let me try and explain my question - it's kinda jumbled in my mind. My PP starts with importing in LR and doing as much as I can there and then I jump over to Photoshop. In PS I may do one thing or I may do several and my question is before going back to LR with the PS adjustments when do I...

4th December Quick macro of a weed that I spent a few minutes (minutes mind you for something that I could not have achieved in days not too long ago) in post processing applying some of the techniques I have learned.

No @Vixen I can't see me giving up unless I do so on the last day - just to prove a point. :) Inspiration has gone but I am learning so much about PP. Have signed up to Lynda.com and find the videos and teaching style suit me perfectly. So everything is onwards and upwards but I am looking...

3rd December My photos are not so hot lately but I am learning a lot about LR and PS - information overload which now needs to be compartmentalised so that I know where and what it is when I need it. Slowly getting there.

After the birds of prey visit on Sunday we were discussing a number of things and a couple of the top photographers in the group said they shoot with both eyes open and it makes one more aware of what is happening outside of the viewfinder and therefore what might soon be happening in the...

2nd December I just wanted to try out my tripod tonight but had no plan. This meant I could try slower shutter speeds so I went to a fairly busy "intersection" - a place where people emerge or enter the local riverside walk. of course as luck would have it the only action I got was one cyclist...

1st December Hard to believe I have made it to the start of the 12th and final month!! Seems like yesterday that we started but there have been days where it felt like years ago. Feel good factor today. I saved my subject from a horrible death. I found him wandering across a busy road. Nearly...

another one from today. This is a Morepork (owl) chick shot through mesh.

30th November Had a great day with camera club at Wingspan where they train and reintroduce falcons to the wild. We watched a male and female of n endangered species go through their daily exercise and feeding routine. These birds move at speeds up to 200 km per hour (might even be MPH - I...
