Very well done.  It shows some very creative effects.  I like the way it 
shows the difference in motion and stillness of the various subjects.  I 
know almost nothing about photoshop so I have no idea whether they are 
just layered, as in a standard multiple exposure, stitched, like in HDR 
or panoramas or what.  If this style became cliche' I would tire of it 
quickly, but like a brash buxom young lass, I could certainly enjoy it 
now and then.




That's a direct link to the image on Pinterest, so
non-Pinterest-members should be able to view it (the standard link is
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/322570392035559536/).
Out of curiosity after last week's image and reported issues I made an
inquiry to Pinterest about non-members having difficulty browsing the
site. To my amazement they admitted that there's no way for someone to
just browse through Pinterest without first signing up to join! The
representative a communicated with did agree that this was an
astonishing limitation for anyone hoping to use Pinterest to promote
business or their work, so perhaps they'll fix this issue in the
future.

PESO: Bird of Paradise

I quite liked these flowers in Melbourne as they don't grow in my home town.  
My wife's grandfather was from Australia so when he passed away we had one of 
these included in the bouquet for his coffin.

Greetings from GFM!

We're in North Carolina. Been here since Thursday and returning 
tomorrow, in fact. We stopped in at Grandfather Mountain today to say 
hello to all the folks there. Plans are already moving ahead for Nature 
Photography Weekend 2015. Did a short hike in the area and shot some 
photos in the fog. Some of them might even be good. That's all I have to 
report at the moment. Photos later...

The same could be said of racing, which even at its cheapest makes 
photography look cheap.  For the cost of racing a low budget Spec Miata 
you could buy a $700-1,000 lens every month. Assuming, of course, that 
nothing expensive goes wrong.


So, let your wallet be glad that your interest is photography and not 
racing. Or, from what I hear, flying.

Adventure sailing in the Baltic - Photography Masterclass

[Steve Cottrell]

Hi gang

Apologies for the spam. I promised I would post this to the list. If you
know anyone who likes sailing and photography (not necessarily in that
order) there are places available for a leg of a Baltic cruise along the
German coast in April.

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested.

Personal interest: friends running the business, trying to make a
genuine go of it.

Details:



Many thanks.

One of the reasons I bought a Nikon Coolpix 7100 - it is a nice small,

Agreed.

My resolution has been to have a camera to hand when I go out. I didn't
bother yesterday, as I was only doing a small shopping trip and on the way
back missed the opportunity to capture someone operating a full size Dalek
by remote on a road only a mile away.

Carry a camera!
