Ha ha yes they are unedited, still learning how to photoshop, exactly how do i go about getting the flare off? I want to clear up the red around the rear light on the second one.

 

Camera is a Canon Eos 500D with an 18-55 mm IS lens

[Husky]

to be honest i think the flare will be difficult to get off without spoiling the image. the brake light is over exposed so there isnt the information round it to work with as its just bright white/red.

[rob d]

Use the rpair tool on the flare in the clouds. Sample 'clean' cloud to repair the flare away. Use a faily small brush.

As for the brake light, select using magic wand and decrease the brightness. Not too much or the surrounding area will go out of range.

 

have fun :-)

Very nice for out of the box , once you get used to it switch to manual

love the backdrop on the 2nd pic where is that mate? thought about getting a good camera myself and getting some lessons on photoshopping etc

[Gurjeet]

its dundee, looking across from over the tay bridge, its called tayport

[LRF4N]

yea thought it was the tay but was hoping u would say it was somewhere closer to home so i could take a trip down lol

[Gball1973]

Gurjeet, is that the car park just as you come of the bridge at the fife end or in Tayport itself?

Best view of Scumdee (Night time)

[Gurjeet]

come off the bridge, take the first left off the roundabout and its about 1-2 mins down the road towards tayport. The one next to be bridge has too much ambient light for a good night shot.

[Gball1973]

Gotcha. Only a wee bit from me and Vik

[Gurjeet]

have now got myself a flickr account and have uploaded some shots, helpful advice always welcome

I thought that was Dundee.

 

Dundee is the nicest place in the UK full of respectable citizens.

some cracking shots there mate, are they all raw footage or have you also dabbled in the photoshop?

[Gurjeet]

vast majority are unedited, straight off the camera. A couple of the recent ones have the sharpness turned up and the contrast altered slightly with the canon editing tool. But minimal input at that, I prefer to try and master the art of a good photo without relying on a computer. Only had the camera 3 months.
