Top stuff Phil. Not an easy skill at all to perfect. As I for one know only too well.... It should be camera law that anyone who owns a DSLR, should do a night of low light photography. Ps Kevin from BSR is my favourite image.

I have recently started to cut windows in mount boards. As I consider it to be a more professional finish, when complete. Though a little more expensive. I have no knowledge of the cutter you refer to. I googled it and no response there either. In my experience, and Im sure others will have differin...

Another vote from me Tracey. Some fabulous stuff

Here's my twopeneth for what its worth... Be very interested to know if anyone can handle those highlights

This is turning into a very interesting discussion/critique of the skills of portrait photography. With some very good points being raised. For a first time effort Mel has done remarkably well. I for one congratulate him. Taking out the fact that one image has had extensive PP . The big difference, ...

Well said John. I couldn't agree with your sentiments more if id have written it myself...

I just wanted to pass on some of the credit to Gerry Gentry. For without him bothering to give up his t...

I think, when looking at the images you also have to consider the era's and lifestyles of people at the time. Pictures (albeit America) of foreign climbs were not an everyday occurrence to the common man. Communication wasn't then what it is today. Video was only for Hollywood. (You just couldn't Go...

Hi Dennis...

Yes, take your thoughts on the flag. As I had thought the same. It needs to be attached. If my manipulation skills, were of a standard to have straightened the building on the right and left just a sliver of it still in frame. I would have chosen that option..

Personally I loved this image. A great, in your face. tub thumping all American brand. A country united behind its flag, What did perplexed me a little. Was the building to the right. Should it be there, should it not. At first I thought it gave the picture scale and drama. The State building, punch...
