Free concert outside the National Theatre, part of their Watch This Space programme:

Use Elements, no need for the full version.

Well, firstly one has to be able to use photoshop. But it's unlikely it will save a 'bad' photo although it might make it more interesting. There's no difference to me between what's done in Photoshop now and what's been done in post-processing since the dawn of photography. Very, very few images are exactly what the camera saw. That said, without the camera taking the pictures for me, I'd be flucked.

Well, there's the train to London. Not sure what else it has.

A few from Whipsnade on the weekend:

And very nice she is too. Shame the background is dark because having desaturated if it was paler that would be such a strong image. Anyway, took the camera to Great Missenden for the Chilterns Country Fair and in between chasing after Little Ginger I managed to a get a few photies... Full set

I am still recovering from the loss of the original thread.

Didn't know that 'big ear-rings' were a reason to go to the south of France... Anyway, a reason to fear for the sanity of Sloane Rangers ... they need to be told that pigeons ain't pleasant creatures ... Sloane Square, London, July 2008.

Superb shot. Incidentally Snorbans appear to be wearing a proper kit in that photo. Whoever designs next season's should have a look at it - see how it's done.

Ah, fair enough. Not having CS2 (or indeed CS3) the only time I get that halo effect is when I've over-sharpened and I have little floating people with their own clouds around them

Fantastic colours and composition but - personal opinion only - I think they're over-sharpened. There's that 'halo' effect at the edge of some of the buildings.

Okay. I wont! Kirkwall Bus Station. No buses. Possibly a sensitive building though.

Look into my eyes ... Details: D40x @ 300mm; 1/400; f/5.6; ISO 400

Excellent. Some great expressions there.

From a free concert in Victoria Embankment Gardens yesterday lunchtime: And in the evening, a Covent Garden street entertainer:

You see that's a good response but it took you hours and it still ain't as good as my phaser line. Incidentally I did a kelkoo on the A200 and Amazon is the most expensive for that set-up.

Black & White first and foremost. Yes, yes. It's sunny here now actually. Meant to ###### down tonight though. Like that a lot.

The aussie rules and cricket ones are belting. The others: merely superb. Do you have a gallery page at all?

Right. Outside. Now.

Yes, yes. That's what they all say. Anyway, in the absence of anybody else sticking their photies here here's one from yesterday: ITV were shooting a commercial for their football coverage next season. The crew were more interesting though.

You'd think wouldn't you? Linky dink

Are they the bastards that have put blotches on the inside of my viewfinder?

What's the issue with plugging the camera straight in?

I am so far! Not had chance to test on action pics yet and it's a bit top heavy on my light camera but it really does the job. There's some free lunchtime concerts near work this week and providing I can dodge the PCSOs and Park Police I'll be taking some snaps there!
