Its interesting how much of a difference a few phtoshop tweaks can make. Those photos are nice but Wayland just brought something else out. I used to be into photography when younger with old film SLR, I am thinking of getting back into it with an enthusiasts conmpact or bridge camera (probably a fuji S series as its all I can afford). I do think digital allows amateurs with the right kit to do what was only really possible to professionals with the darkroom. I don't know what you guys think but a good or half decent camera, with a good PC and photoshop could mean an amateur turning out some good work IF they have an eye for the image in the first place. I kind of did but never focussed on it. This guy is a pretty good for a first test with a camera. Keep it up. Although , could be jealousy, the area you live in does help - what a beautiful bit of countryside!!
