Phil, I wasnt making comments on your photograph. I think its superb. Conveying the atmosphere and energy of a gig. I know only to well the conditions and challenges that brings. I'm not surprised the bands manager has accepted them. I was merely, trying to discuss the rudiments of the Hdr software....

I think you have given the software a real challenge here Phil. We have a combination of three similar but very different images. In the merged compliation. I only really see image 1, in the outcome. Except for were the ghousting has in my opinion messed the image up. I love band photography. can yo...

A good evenings entertainment all round.. Nice to see our collegues from Wigan attend. Even if they were a little premature with their overconfidences. Congratulations to Sue and Joan for guiding us to a well deserved victory.

Good luck.

Phil..

amateur is from the latin "amator", or "lover".

If you are doing photography for love, then you are an amateur. If you are pursuing it for financial gain you are a professional.

If you are both, does that make you a "Professional Lover" ?
