Sea water and lens? Help!
It's so easy to make an error or overlook a potential problem when distracted. If you are concentrating on an image other factors sometimes become forgotten.. OK if like me you are using a an old Olympus OM2 (not highly valued but highly prized) if it is trashed the replacement cost is less than a good lens for a Canikon/Nikanon. I am always surprised when concentrating on an image com...

Check my logic
First of all: The vast majority of meteorologists seem to support the anthropogenic theory being responsible for much of our climate change. The majority isn't always right. It's sensible and healthy to question and debate theories such as this, particularly when the costs involved in implementing some of the proposals associated with the agreements based on this theory are colossal. Yes, i...

Adding grad filter effect with Elements?
Another method which gradually blends 2 images - one edited for the sky and one for land. 1. Create 2 copies of your background image in PSE. 2. Name image 1 "Land" and image 2 "Sky". Make sure "Sky" is the top layer. 3. Adjust image 1 for the land, sea etc that you require. 4. Adjust image 2 for the sky you require. 5. Go to: Layer/New Fill Layer/Gradient, Click "OK" 6. Make sure you h...

Removing Sky Using CS3
Quick and easy way is to select your replacement sky image by pressing cntrl A, then go upto edit and select copy. Then select the sky in your original image with a selection tool, and when that's done, go upto edit and select paste into. This will create a new layer with it's own layer mask. If there's any pixels or stepping between the replaced sky and the land in the original image, select ...

Anyway, that's my 10 Euro-cents. But worth so much more! A very eloquent summary of what's wrong with society, Joolsb. Why do we hate Europe so much? Yes, indeed, why? Surely we need to form closer and more rational relationships with both Europe and America - and of course the rest of the world for that matter. Garth

Storm @ Sea
Thanks for the comments. Yep, you get a bit of a shock when those rocks suddenly appear so close to the boat. Maybe the person filming it was on dry land, or in a lighthouse? Seems impossible that stability could be maintained in those conditions and that another boat would be so close.

You're spoilt for choice this weekend as ePHOTOzine has three competitions for you to get stuck into.

Photo Competitions

It can be of animals, rain, sun (if you can find it) frost, snow, fire, rivers, mountains, flowers, trees... the list is endless!Why not try some macro work or HDR? Try shooting a black & white landscape or how about playing around with slow shutter speeds? As we said, there's plenty to have a go at and anything goes so long as it fits the theme.
The prizes will be presented to the winners at Focus On Imaging 2012.* However, if you can't make Focus don't worry; you can still win one of the prizes.
Remember if you're not in it you can't win! Two entries are allowed per member.
Good luck!!
