    I've got two of Freeman's sitting right above my head now. His encyclopedia of practical photography taught me most of what I know.

    I'm getting my slides scanned in and should have them up by the end of the week. So jazzed!

    Got my first redscaled film (film reversed in the canister so it is exposed on the wrong side) back from being processed today. The shots were underexposed which I expected, but their machine had tried to "correct" them, so I've done my best with what I've got. Could really do with borrowing someones negative scanner though and doing a proper job with them.

    There are a couple more on my Flickr stream, but these two are my favourites.

    @Tim S
    Nice explanation. I am also not a fan of HDR. But I like some pictures captured in HDR. And yeah pal. I've added you in my buddy list in flickr.

    Cool - I agree generally. If HDR is tastefully done, it looks fine, but I find most of the time that it's easy to spot that it's not 'real'.

    Anyway, here's a photo from the weekend...

    I annoyingly missed the awesome sunset, but the afterglow was equally amazing. The colours were stunning :)

    How did you achieve the purple tint?

    Grad filter if you're talking about the sky. A coloured graduated filter can be used. Or it can be applied in photoshop.

    The sky is a combination of ND grad, 81C graduated warming filter and white balance. It was quite a pink/purple afterglow anyway, but the warming filter and custom white balance just helped to enhance that further. :)

    I like the colors in both the pictures. They are decent.

    I'm definitely more of a reader than a viewer, my first thought was to ask what book that is :)

    I find the afterglow to be more enjoyable then the sunset most of the time anyway. Love the photo
