Hi Alan Thanks for telling us how you managed to take such excellent photos using a close up lens on your old Canon SX30 - a great bridge camera in my opinion I am yet to experiment with macro photography and learn about it. I appreciate your experience and tips. |

It is just another tool to use to get the image you want. It's no different to cloning out unwanted parts of a scene, adding a different sky, Selective cropping etc etc. They are all image manipulation, heck even adding different filters on the lens is manipulation What matters is whether you like the end result Sir, doesn't matter what the purist may think as it isn't sitting in their photo album! I for one love the colours and vibrancy in the scene, as said before it looks like a painting and makes you want to be there

Thank you Jeff for saying that. Your comments are most welcomed and heart felt In the past 6 months, I have learned how to understand layering, something previously, I failed to get my head round. How to do a shoot at high speed is something I have seen you do, when we were at Brands Hatch at the end of March. Taking photographs of cars going past you so fast with such accuracy is quite challenging to say the least I learnt much from you that day |

Thanks Phil, hope you are well.
I have not taken a single picture yet this year, I must try harder. I have put a new clutch master cylinder and a handbrake compensator in the car though. |

It is great to hear back from you Paul, I was getting worried that your were poorly or someone had something negative as can happen. I am in the UK in a few weeks time and hope to take some photos at the meets and various locations: seaside, countryside. I hope the weather holds up

As you will have seen in other photos from Brands Hatch I play with the tilt angles in both directions and angle of attack as if you are taking from the same location it adds a bit of variety Panning and getting both cars in shot the (in camera) crop has to be tight there as if you remember there's trees either side so theres not much scope for a more open shot unless you want some foliage in there as well HDR is a complete no no with high speed panning really, it is a tool for non moving subjects I could have edited the photo boosting levels and saturation and a bit of sharpness but that shot is an unmolested straight off the camera shot
