I did not oblige as I didn’t really understand how to do it in an undetectable way. I thanked the guy for his brilliant comment.

I had a similar remark from someone else, who felt layering was cheating. I had a laugh, as later on he was using a layer to replace a bland sky. He didn’t do it very well and on top of that, he oversaturated the sky with too much blue, unattractive. I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to destroy his post.

It can work, if it’s carefully done :}

Your a professional photographer Jeff and I really value your opinion :}

Me is a tog though and it's not something I choose to do.
I'm of the get it right in camera. Use editing to bring out the best in the photo but not put in what wasn't there ;)

Cheers Jeff, that day you introduced me to the BTCC with Derek, I noticed how in between shots, you reviewed as you went along, the photos to keep and the photos to delete. Clearly, this flow works for you, what discipline :}

SD card?

Do you take on a shoot, one with a large memory or do you have several smaller ones on the go? I think your camera takes 2 cards.

For my dash cam, I have two 32GB and one 128GB (for a long road trip in HD/4K).

I had another 32GB SD card, but the data corrupted and I could not prove to the police I was not speeding. One of those awkward moments getting pulled over.

Do the cards eventually wear out?
